Sweet Valley High Senior Year - Elizabeth

"I will not get straight A’s this year. It’s bad for a person’s image. Or at least I won’t get all A’s second semester. Or if I do, I won’t tell anyone about it.

I will not give Jessica advice, no matter how horrendously wrong she is. (Unless, of course, she’s going to jump off the roof. Or go out with a jerk, or fail an exam, or wear that grotesque dark green nail polish with the matching lipstick.)

I will not get back together with Todd Wilkins, no matter how tempted I am. I’m moving on.

I will not hate my job at House of Java or the owner, Mrs. Scott, for being the cheapest human being in America.

I will continue to hide the sugar packets just to bug her. (I still can’t believe she actually counts them.)

I will continue to be taller than Jessica and still weigh one pound less.

I’ll dress more sexily. If I can do it and still wear sneakers.

I will reappraise some of my decisions about sex, though I’m probably not going to do it.

I will not give constructive criticism to anyone anymore, no matter how much Enid needs it.

I will put the earthquake behind me, but I’ll never forget it.

And most of all, I will always remember Olivia."

Sweet Valley High Senior Year - Jessica

I will clean my room once a week. Okay, let’s be realistic. Every other week.

I will read that book Elizabeth bough me six months ago – Twin Rivalry: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – if for no other reason than I’m sick of her asking whether I’ve “gotten to it.”

I won’t eat at MacDonald’s or Taco Bell unless Lila offers to pay, in which case it doesn’t really count.

I will do my homework unless there’s something better to do.

I will continue to weigh one pound less than Elizabeth.

I will…

Wait a second. Why am I bothering with this list? It’s not like I’m actually going to do any of these things, so what’s the point?
