Dedicated to my little cousins.

These are my little cousins Joseph, and Andre.

The flash was on super high for this picture. It did not help them out at all.

In a week, they will be embarking on a new journey in life, which I have named, "College". (Sound it out at home.. Caawwwwwwllllleeeeeeedddddgggggggeeeeee")

I felt that, since they are about to leave the world of rules, boundaries and curfews, I would give them a little advice.

First off, MAKE SURE YOU GO TO CLASS. Unless the teacher emails you and says "Class is cancelled today", GO TO CLASS. It doesnt matter how far your class is, what the weather is like, what's on tv, how tired you are, if you roommate wants to play madden, how crazy the night before was, GO TO STINKIN CLASS!!!!!

Next, make sure you keep up with your grades. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help on anything. Your teachers are there to help you, not baby you. Education costs money. Your parents dont want to pay for you to only pass Bowling, Weight Training, and English class.

B. Alcohol is bad. An occasional Smirnoff is ok, but stay away from Mickey's, Bud Ice (40oz), Keystone, Keystone, Keystone, Jack Daniels, Keystone, Tequila, and Keystone. 

3. There is nothing open after 2am but Waffle House's and legs.

4. Save your money. Being an adult is crazy expensive. Everybody can't be broke, then magically go on a game show and win a bunch of money. Be wise with your spending, work when you can, and build up that account. It will pay off in the long run.

And finally, if you do all of these things, and become mad rich, dont forget about your older cousin(s) that guided you on the right path for life. We went through the hard stuff so that you could have it easy. We love you, so dont forget it.

We are proud of you. DO WORK!
