I've decided a sufficient amount of time has passed that I can post another post. See it's always months between posts and seeing as how it's been nearly an entire semester since my last post I've decided to add some more comments about what you learn in college.
- Being around people who have no shared past can really suck, especially if that past happened to be ravaged by a natural disaster.
- Sometimes borrowing that movie from your RA about an insane asylum can have unintended consequences ( or just weird coincidences associated with it)
- Going to class really should not be optional
- Shoes should be optional and grass without those awful seed balls should be instated.
- Whenever you feel like knee deep is as far deep in shit as you can get you discover three more feet of the crap.
- Flunking is not the funnest feeling ever.
- Art school may have been a better option: At least you'd have been around crazier people (and guys too)
- You are a moron yet nobody knows
- You've created your own social ladder and you're at the top and you don't know how to get off.
- Screaming "I want a manwhich!" in front of the dining hall at an all girls school may get you a sloppy joe the next day but it can also get you some offers you're not looking for.
- Beware of spending all your time focusing on what you don't want, odds are you won't get it but chances are also good that you'll miss out on the things you wanted.
- Pick a school in a city with sidewalks and public transportation because you won't relize how much you adored them until you almost get run over on the way to good will.
- College is not for everyone. But college is for people who want to do something, so even when things look retarded and hopeless you should keep going. Whether it proves you lack sanity or not once you have that Bachelor's Degree they can't take it back.
- Sarcasm can be an interesting tool.
- No one will take you seriously if you're always sarcastic but it apparently makes you fun to hang out with.
- DON'T EAT THE FOOD. (Okay go ahead... I do.)
- Join some club even if it's just you and two friends driving around to all the fast food restaurants in the area "building a sandwich" but asking for things like: "a handful of lettuce and a single nacho potato chip". Times are good and if you're lucky you can make a kick ass sandwich for under a dollar or maybe $1.04
That's what I've learned... that may be all I ever get to learn. Of course there have been inconsequential moments of enlightenment in classes but who cares?
