How To Be Cool
You are a nerd, but it doesn't mean you have to stay that way forever. We want you to be cool, you want to be cool...here's how to be cool.
-
Step 1:
-
Get Some Skills
-
Take something you like and get really good at it. Video games don't count. They isolate you. Write. Surf. Snowboard. Anything. Being good at something makes you interesting - it gives you something to talk about and builds your confidence.
-
Following the fads is a dead end. Choose your own adventure and stick with it.
-
Step 2:
-
Don't Advertise
-
Everybody has a MySpace page, but you don't need to load it up with revealing photos of yourself. Don't overpost. Over-advertising yourself - or your iPhone or your sports car - is not cool.
-
Step 3:
-
Get A Gimmick
-
Quote Shakespeare. Do a card trick, or appreciate art. This will become your guaranteed ice breaker in any awkward social situation.
-
Step 4:
-
Don't Be The Last To Leave
-
You have better things to do then just hang around your friend's house.
-
Step 5:
-
Don't Do Everything You're Told
-
Really. Even by us.
