Things I have learned in University.

This is a list of things I have learned in my past 3 years of post secondary education.


1. When living in on campus you will without a doubt gain or lose at least ten pounds. You will gain if you eat the cafeteria food, and you will lose if you boycott the food and live off of rice crackers and peanut butter
2. Bunk beds are dangerous, and hard to get off of. Be careful or you could fall of and get a crater size bruise on your upper leg
3. Never let your boyfriend throw rocks at your window.. it may seem cute but rocks and windows don't mix... it will break and you will not get back your damage deposit.
4. If you leave tea bags in mugs and forget about it for a month it will go moldy and smell and you won't know where the smell is coming from until you find the mug!
5. Rice cakes.. as delicious and good they are when caf food sucks.. they also double as a stink remover. Yes it is true when your bathroom buddy goes number 2 at the 3:30 everyday you need a stink remover... use rice cakes it works.
6. When boys are not aloud in your room but you still want to play N64 put the controls through the window and let the boys play from outside while you remain inside.... this only works when you live on the first floor.
7.  My bestie would like me to include that no matter how dry your lips are... no matter what! Polysporin does not ever double as lip chap.. this will only cause much uncomfortable numbness. 
8.They always say turbulence has never caused a plane to crash.. remember this when you are being jerked back and forth in the air while flying over the rocky mountains. This will cause you much less anxiety.
9. Pick a good lab partner... don't pick an asian just because they are asian and you think they will be smart, you must first make sure they can speak english. 
10. When they tell you that you need a lab science to graduate don't just assume you have to take biology, chemistry, or physics. Take geography and save your self many hours of stress and memorization. 
11. Make friends with the card swiping lady and the ladies that work in the back and bake the delicious goods, so that when you are having a bad day they will let you have a fresh pic of the muffins
12. While living in dorms the RA drops off rolls of toilet paper outside of your door. Steal one roll from some of the other rooms... this will result in never running out. 
13. No matter how cute the boys are.. never agree to play RISK with them, this will take up a majority of your night and they will not just let you win because you are cute.
14. The crazy outdoors kids that set up the hammocks in the trees... you rock.. but hammocks are designed for one.. maybe two people. Putting 5 people in the hammock seems like a great idea until the hammock breaks and you fall through the strings.
15. Always take out your contacts.. 8:30 classes come early and when you hit snooze too many times and need to run to class.. you grab your glasses and forget about the contacts you still have in.. this will cause you to not be able to see a thing the professor writes on the board.
16. When your labtop bag rips.. replace it don't fix it with duct tape, when you are late for class and must run.. your lab top will bust out of the duct tape covered rip and bounce on the concrete, causing you to need to buy a new lap top.
17. People say don't live with your friends.. this is a lie. Live with your friends it makes for a ton of fun!
18. It is not wrong to think professors are hot.. not all of them are old enough to be your father.
19. When going to school in BC it rains almost every day... invest in rain boots, you will go through less socks and your shoes will not smell so bad.
20. Dominos has sweet pizza deals on mondays call them! 
21. Sitting on ping pong tables.. when you have had a few adult beverages... or sitting on it in general is a bad idea you will end up with bruises
21. Never pick a fight with boys and bananas (yes i mean the fruit) it will end up in your hair, and you will smell like bananas ( the fruit) for days.
22. Find out if your school has a donut day if it does it will make wednesdays much more enjoyable 
23. Trying to get out of the back of sport cars wearing a dress and ridiculously high heels will cause you to stumble and fall.. hopefully there is a nice looking boy to catch you
24. Playing the game "sex" (the headlight game) is never a good idea.. never convince yourselves it is.
25. Never leave underwear in your car especially "sexy panties".. they will be found and you will be mocked and never live it down... it will be brought up at every chance possible.


There are many more lessons to be learnt.. this will do for now. Learn from my mistakes and you will be good.. although all these things made for a good 3 years.
