So, What Did You Learn?

First year of college: done. What did I learn? A bunch of random life tidbits.
1. It's possible to survive a whole year of college without eating one bite of TopRamen or Mac & Cheese
2. UTA bus drivers do what they want. Who cares if the light is red? Not them, they are fearless
3. Giant swings bring wards together.
4. Institute is better than seminary.
5. Letters from missionaries (or anyone for that matter) can turn a frown upside down in .27 seconds.
6. Quote wall=necessity
7. Marriage is a scary thought but everyone is doing it.
8. UVU is not as bad as everyone says it is.
9. After years of refusing to support an NFL, NBA, or any of those 'N' teams, I've become a Jazz fan.
10. It's an honor to be considered an "honorary roommate" by a boys apartment.
11. Even if you took anatomy classes in high school, you don't know squat till you have a class from Dr. Shively, he will whip you into shape.
12. Dance parties? I crave them constantly.
13. Roommates become your new best friends within the first 10 min. of meeting them
14. Everyone deserves a nickname
15. Texas Hold 'em
16. Rubicks Cube
17. Solitare (yes it took me 18 years to learn how to play)
18. You can send a coconut in the mail. Mine went to NY. Mythbusters doesn't lie.
19. Who needs Disneyland when you have the Wittwer's jeep? Hello Indiana Jones Ride.
20. Peanut butter and Lucky Charms= the only food staple you need.
21. It's not impossible to receive a Chastity Pamphlet in the mail.
22. Longboarding
23. John Mayer is still the man (I didn't just learn that, but I just listened to 'Who Says' for the thousandth time and thought John deserved a spot in this post)
24. AE jeans, Vans, and big t-shirts... I like them.
25. Dorothy was wrong; there are lots of places like home.
26. Jamba Juice use their oranges for the employees that have scurvy and the grass is for the goat in the back. [think about it, have you ever seen them use either of those things?]
27. The UVU cafeteria has waffles for $1.29. Cha-Ching!
28. It's a lucky day when you get to watch the pendulum at UVU knock down one of those white chalk looking things.
29. You start becoming your parents. I see myself turning into my mom daily. Uhoh. Maybe it's because I don't see her as much and so I start subconsciously acting like her to make it feel like she is around...
30. I'm not as independent as I thought. As much as I don't want to believe it, it's true.
Well kids, here is a giant list that could have gone on for much longer. College... what a life.
