This is a simple list if things I've learned in college so far.
1) always make time for friends and family
2)keep your eyes on the prize.because it's a lit more attractive than the shit you're wading through.
3) make friends with someone who owns a truck. You never know...
4) alcohol is almost as acceptable as cash for favors
5) studying can get you good grades, questioning your professors and what they teach you will get you a good job.
6) always have a car that always starts.
7) there is no such thing as a flat parking lot.specifically when you don't have a car that doesn't always star...
8)a smile and hello opens more doors than you'd think
9) everyone is down with rock band or ddr when there's at least 4 people present.
10) drama is a silly thing invented by teenagers and perfected by bad tv. All in all, you can live without it fabulously.
11) money really doesn't matter.it comes and goes as you need it, though not always on time.
12) time and what you do with it does matter, and you can never get it back.
13) there are fun times-e.g. Bombing around town with friends doing nothing in particular. And fun times-e.g. Drinking every night and sleeping around. Both give you stories, but only one gives you people to share it with.
14) important people will remain no matter what.
15) you never know where life may take you, so don't get miffed if you don't wind out with the dream job your 5 year you old wanted.
16) burning bridges only demeans who you are as a person, and teaches nobody anything.
17) no matter what happens, as long as you have a roof over your head, at least bread and eggs in your cupboard, and someone to share it with, life is good.
18) you know what? life is just good.
19) tv is the garbage bin for time.
20) hard work pays off, though sometimes you need patience to see its rewards.
21) cheap is cheap, expensive can be cheap, mediocre is usually ok.
22) doing research before making any big decision should be the law. Taking some impulse on minor decision is fun.
23) sleep on any large investment because the people hocking them are professionals trained to screw you.
24) maurices is as god of a place as any to blog.
25) social networks change every five years, and kill as much time as tv.
26) teenagers are usually annoying.kids however are funny.and adults who stay as one or the other are just sad...
27) extremists = scary
28) extremists = close minded
29) the closer you are to a major religious zone, the more extreme people are.
30) internet is not a replacement for human interaction.
31) a good deal on something you didn't even want 10 min before hand, really isn't a good deal.
32) don't eat dollar store food.
33) keep your body healthy! Exercise and diet as well as regular doctor visits, even on a budget, are essential to maintaining a happy life.
34) you're never to young to be yourself.
35) problem solving is essential to any relationship.
36) to the ladies: don't buy pants that give you a she-weiner.
37) pants hanging off your butt don't do anything for you, so but a damn belt.
38) if you want to make sure you don't go overboard with buying creature comforts,develope a stingy attitude about buying only the best things, and only when you /have/ the money.
39) debt sucks.get out asap.
40) to get more energy, you must use what you have first.
41) mooches always get their come-upins.
42) liars only hurt, so tell the damn truth.
43) labels are another kitchy invention.
44) you will die someday.get over it.
45) you can't force someone to feel one way or another about you.
46) the generation/s below you will make some things fadacious that you will think is dumb, silly, or dumbfounding.you participated in it too, so don't judge.
47) unless it's blatently supporting something you know they know nothing about (che guavara anyone?)
48) take your lumps early on, everyone takes them eventually.
49) do the small things.
50) love yourself.nobody else will be able to until you do.
