A Year of Life Lessons

#110

I learned that hanging your skirt on the shower rod while you take a reallly warm shower is just as effective as ironing for getting wrinkles out.

…especially when you don’t have/dont know how to iron……

#96

I’ve learned that you are never the only one awake in a college dorm.

#95

I’ve learned how to co-exist with a roommate who was about as opposite from me as a lemon is from an earthworm. 

Which, in case you were wondering, is a lot.

#78

I’ve learned that sprinting across campus at 10am hungover pays off in the end. TWO QUADS IN RAND!

#66

I’ve learned that we meet people because there’s something we’re meant to be for each other.

We can each of us be a teacher, a mirror, a hard truth, an inspiration, a motivator, comic relief, a support system, a disguise, a partner in crime, a receptacle, a puzzle, a love, a hate, an annoyance, an example, a guiding force, a weak link, a help, a sister and a friend, and so much much more. 

We need each other to understand ourselves. 

#60

I’ve learned how to make enough food to be able to sustain myself.

Prior to college, I could make a sandwich.

Now, I can make ramen noodles, mac and cheese, ravioli, salad, pizzas, pizza bagles, chicken nuggets, quesadillas, and maybe some other things on a good day or with help.

Today I even made soup.

Like…from a can.

Yes, I will survive.

#2

I’ve learned that you can’t make Easy Mac with just boiling water. A microwave, like it says on the directions, really is required.
