Don't Put all your Eggs in one Basket

While discussing this proverb with a student, I was giving an example of not applying to just one college, but a few just in case.

Me: So where do you want to go to college after high school?
Student:  Oh, I've had enough school...
Me: What do you mean?
Student:  You know, I've already done preschool, elementary school, middle school, and now high school.  I'm just done!

Haha!  He has a point, that is a lot of school years under his belt!
