I've Learned...

[brfc24]

If my brain stopped now, I think I'd be okay for the rest of my life. Why? Because in college, I've learned some of the most basic yet timeless and essential life lessons that will guide me through a moral, decent, proper, and healthy life.

I've learned that nothing lasts forever... that today's actions can be tomorrow's nightmares... that if you take someone's towel while they're showering, eventually, they'll take yours too... to knock before entering... to look before I leap, especially if there are people and broken glass below

So I've learned in the past 4 years....

• If God brings you to it, God will bring you through it. (i can't emphasize that "will" enough)
  
• I never thought I would share so much about myself with people I have known for such a short time.
  
• Wait and watch things and then make your decisions. Dont follow your friends b/c of all the decisions they make. And when you think you lost something good b/c you didn't react and do something right away...just keep waiting!!! Something way better will come along...promise.
  
• Summer nights have the best fun to offer. Fishing in the dark on a hot summer night, and playing softball at night!
  
• College Night is the best kept secret ever. And there are 2 sides of course. And I love my side very much...but we would be absolutly nothing without the other side.
  
• If you have friends that to go other schools that know nothing about College Night.and you are very invovled...dont even bother trying to explain it to them. They wont understand it. And if you bring them to any of the activities they will think you belong in a cult. (especially the sat. night of CN)
  
• (Like said before), dont always follow your friends. It is good to be different and take that different path.
  
• Don't ask advice for a certain area of your life to a person that can't even run that certain part of their life (ex: dont ask a person about a serious relationship problem..when they can't even keep a boyfriend/girlfriend for more then 3 weeks). Dont ask advice from people that can't run their own lives!!! (see it is good to read the small bold font...)
  
• wear your seatbelt
  
• they must leave the kinghouse unlocked on halloween to make everyone think the "ghost" in there, unlocked it for us when we walked up...
  
• That you can know everything and fail a test..and then you can hardly know anything and ace that sucker!
  
• Don't get arrested in shelby county. Because everyone at school will then look up your mugshot on that silly little website and they willlaugh at you! (not from personal experienced at being laughed at...just have had humor looking at people's mugs)
  
• high school was lame now compared to college.
  
• if you dont put that spachula back where it rightfully belonged in the pizza line in the cafe..you are gonna get yelled at by the pizza nazi lady! She might even grunt at you if you're lucky...
  
• No matter how many times you drive by miracle strip there wont be a parking spot there....and once you park at bibb graves and hike up the hill to your dorm..someone will be backing out of a Miracle Strip parking spot....
  
• internet stalking now seems to be an art
  
• even though we are in college and suppose to be "older and mature" that if someone farts in class...everyone still either bursts out laughing or they try very hard to hold in their laughter...either way, its still freaking funny!
  
• it's ok to call a campus escort to pick you up at your car on a cold night and have them drop you off infront of your dorm...not b/c you are scared of a crazy man on campus but because you are simply LAZY! its ok! we (girls) all do it
  
• i did learn a lot about biology...
  
• its totally 100% OK to have friends in other greek organizations. do it...its good for you anyways.
  
• its true..showers become less important..and sleep becomes very important.
  
• the burnt ghost door that is kept up in Main's attic...it is kinda creepy. Not gonna lie.
  
• Dont burn bridges...especially if that person is good in Biology!
  
• Soulmates do exists.
  
• That something along the lines of "love at firstsight" i believe exsits.
  
• I have more stupid and silly nicknames then I thought I could ever possibly have!
  
• You'll eat and drink anything if its free.
  
• I should have punched a little hole in my Student ID card and tied a little string through it and kept it around my neck b/c I lost that blasted thing almost everyday....
  
• the later the class...the better it is!
  
• Vacuuming happens once a semester.
  
• Jeans get be worn and worn and worn and then you say "nahh its just a little mud..no one will notice it on there"..and keep wearing them.
  
• its fun to kiss standing in the pouring down rain.
  
• Mud football is a grand idea
  
• Dont bother climbing the watertowers...its not worth the exercise and people say the view isn't that grand anyways.
  
• Intramurals are a love/hate relationship at montevallo. And I dont understand why half of them aren't considering contact sports, the way we play down on that intramural field. =)
  
• Just park your dang car and walk!!! Seriously is blowing $25.00 for a ticket worth it?? Just b/c you dont wanna walk the distance and rather leave it in a 20 minute really worth a cute new shirt for $25.00 or a dinner date...or whatever??? hahaa dont be lazy and blow away $25.00. =)
  
• my life will never been the same again now that college is over.
  

I know endless amounts of worthless information that I will never have to use, and that is what matters.
