"Darling, I'm sure you'll be given your own little rule book from school, a list of things to do and not to do. And we'll read that together. But I also want you to give this a once over. And decide for yourself what to take from it, if anything at all.

5. Go outside your group.

You'll be encouraged to stay within your group. Not to stray. But try to, when you think nobody's looking. Go say 'hi' to someone who's way older to you. Or way younger than you. Or a teacher who doesn't teach you. Get out of your comfort zone every once in a while. Start random conversations with random people. But again, only if you want to.

6. Share everything. Especially food.

Food unites people. Never be selfish about food. There's always plenty to go around. If you think you need more tiffin, just ask. When you share, you make other people share too. Tiffins, ideas, philosophies, stories.
