Lessons of Freshmen Year (4.28.07)

So as this freshmen year comes to a close, I have been thinking about everything that's happened, that we've learned, or that just in general, probably shouldn't be repeated. That being said, I want to share this with all my blog readers...who probably will benefit from this.

1. When a drunk friend tells you that putting her in the chair will make her throw up, you probably wanna follow that one. Because she isn't kidding. And really. Don't try it two times just in case she might have been joking with ya.
2. Sometimes, it just helps to cry. Whether it be over a bad grade on the paper (please refrain from yelling at your roommate's best friend),because your clean floor just got dirty, or because some bastard that goes by Shakira popped your lute, you may or may not feel a bit better.
3. If you have a bad feeling about the roommate still a month into the semester, get out. It won't get better. Especially when she brings her mother to stay over night who has snoring (and farting) issues.
4. Beware of lofts. If you sleep on top, you may turn into a collegiate volleyball player with the winning game spike resulting in your phone crashing against the closet. If you have the bottom, getting up is a bitch when you bang your head on it. Daily. More than once.
5. Driving in Fargo is scary. It's real bad when the defrost is broken and the car is full to capacity. Lesson to those in back. Don't scream, it upsets the driver. Who begins to scream too. And then the 3 remaining sing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and everyone is convinced they are about to die for about 10 minutes.
6. Give people nicknames...it makes time go by faster. Examples are Popped Collar Boy, Sir Sneeze-a-lot, Crazy, and I'llTakeAGreen. Among others.
7. Club NDSU is never a good idea. They have a rootbeer keg, mocktails, and shots of unfrozen popsicles....plus 10 people will be there, 2 of which are male, 0 of which do not qualify for a mental home.
8. Change your major once, twice, 5 times if you choose. Ceres isn't smart enough to limit that sort of thing. I'm on my 6th major...and sophomore year has yet to begin.
9. Watch out where you walk on campus. 'tis not paved well and if you have any sort of poise at all, you'll fall and roll your ankle. And the Asian kid that sees you will go, "OH!" but hurry away without making sure you are able to stand on your own.
10. Last but not least, water is always clear. Vodka generally is too. Keep that in mind
