In what situations is it wise for a friend to give advice and when should they just listen?
Well you should quite simply give advice when they need it, when they just need someone to listen to them is when you should listen. If the situation calls for advice, when they need it give it to them, if not, listen. That is all there is to it. If someone was complaining to you, they don't need advice, but if they were to not know what to do next then they need it. Although the situations aren't always that simple, it is fairly easy to tell when you should help and when you should just listen.

You have been struggling financially your whole life. You just won a million dollar lottery. Do you give any to charity?
Nope, screw them I won it, it's mine, just kidding. Yeah, I'd give some of the money to charity but I'd keep most of it, because, well I'm selfish. But hey, I won that money so I can do whatever I want with it, right? I'm not really sure what kind of charities are out there so I'm not exactly sure where I'd give the money to but it'd help somebody somewhere, or fix something. Or whatever, I don't know, it'd be for a good cause that's all that matters.

If someone you loved was seriously injured or killed by a texting driver, would that stop you from ever texting while driving?
You know, I don't text and drive all that much. But when I do, its always on my road, which hardly ever has any people on it. I know, its still not safe but at least I'm not endangering anyone but myself. Back to the point though, if someone I loved were killed or injured by a texting driver, I would probably stop, not that it'd be that hard to stop anyway, but yes I would stop texting and driving.

What advice would you give to the upcoming freshman to help them be successful in high school? Consider Multiple aspects of success: academic, athletic, social.
Academic: School is not all that hard to be good at, it is however very boring and time-consuming. One piece of advice I can give is that homework is boring and cuts into the things you want to do, but to let it back up until you have to do it is a very bad idea. So, just do your homework when its given out, it makes life a lot easier.
Athletic: I never got into the sports, even as much as I was told to try them. I just didn't like any team sport in general. It's not that they can't be fun, it's just that I didn't find them very fun, especially after I got into motocross.
Social: Ha! I am not the person to ask about any social issue, that's for sure.

Suppose you had a black box of your life. What would it contain?
Uh, I really don't know what that's supposed to mean. A black box of my life? Like something that I don't want people to know about? If that's the case, I don't want people to know about it. If I knew what it meant I'd write something more meaningful, but I, however, have no clue as to what that means. But I am fairly good at BS'ing my way through a paper, if you haven't already noticed. I'm not sure how far I am already but I'd say I'm three quarters of the way through. Oh, I just thought of something, if I go off topic do I get points marked off? If so, I only went off topic because I didn't understand what the topic was. Well, I guess I get what credit I get.

What is your favorite quote? Why and how has it affected your life?
My favorite quote is: "Live now, pay later." I know to most people it seems crazy but I have basically based my life around this. Life is a short thing and I feel that if you don't do what you wanted while you can, then how will you be able to do that later? I'll admit I've done some stupid things in my life, but at least I can say: been there, done that. You die anyway, might as well make this life worth dying for. Not much more I can say, but that is what I feel and yes I am already paying for it but that's alright in my mind.

What do we need to do to encourage less fast food and more fruits and vegetables?
Well for one we could make fast food more expensive than fruits and vegetables, and put fruits and vegetables as sides for meals. Another thing we could do is sell a healthier meal at fast food restaurants that would come with whatever fruit or vegetable you wanted. The one thing people see in fast food is, well, its quick and easy, but what some people don't understand is that making your own meals is not only healthier it is a lot less expensive if you look at it in the long term and it doesn't have to take a lot of time to make. So, if you could make people more aware of how much better it was for you to make a meal for yourself, it would make it a lot easier to work out all the greasy fast food that everyone seems to go for.
