When the VHL turned 14, we were asked to contribute a memory from when we were 14. I loved that thread, so I'll give you something that happened when I was 16 and ask you to do the same:
When I was 16, I did what lots of people my age do and went into a drivers' ed program. Now, this was just a couple weeks after I got my permit, and I was still going around parking lots when I started...so it was a fun, fun drive when on the first day I was asked to take us back to the school from the next town over.
That same year, I became first trumpet in my high school band (and joined jazz band too...and started taking music theory...kicking off my getting more serious about music). We did a band field trip to Chicago and got stuck hanging out next to the bean for about an hour and a half because our schedule left us in that area with nothing to do for a long time.
What did you do when you were 16--or, what do you hope to do when you are?

I played Wolfenstein:ET, I enjoyed playing the "sniper"-class as one of the perks is that you could steal the uniform of the enemy and run around undercover. Some maps were high in pace and action, so it was not always easy to spot who is undercover and doing something "odd". I would sneak behind the enemy lines and stab people in the back with a knife. Then I would use the public voice commands to mock the enemy I just took down and run away with their shirt and pants. Sometimes I would just stand there and look at the chaos, in the middle of the enemy - undercover. Sometimes I would do something useful like open the door to my teammates, so they can get into some restricted area only easily accessible for the enemy. Good game, good times.

when i was 16 i found a thermometer in my bathroom medicine cabinet and thought it was a pregnancy test. i then posted to the vhl discord and got flamed by everyone for being an idiot.
@Nykonax as someone who witnessed this firsthand…I hope you can look back and realize how funny it was. I was also an idiot at 16 who definitely would have done something just as dumb had I been online much then.
