slacker

I'm such a blog slacker.

Since I've been back in school I've been learning lots and lots of new things. Not really anything from class, of course

1) Never go back to school supply shopping with an English Major- It gets too complicated. School supplies are just as important as actual text books to them. To be an English Major you can't just declare it, apparently you also have to look the part- this means legit pens and notebooks that just exclaim how intelligent, witty, and interesting you are. I had no idea that school supplies can express so much of your personality. I bought a folder with a giant purple monster on it. I don't want to know what that expresses about me.

2) The differences between North campus and South campus are vast. South campus consists of sweat pants, mopeds, sneakers, wire glasses, cargo shorts, high school tshirts, huge book bags, calculators, stress, nervousness and general lack of excitement.
Imagine my shock to venture past the SLC and onto to North campus to find individuals lounging around reading books under trees, discussing their lives over cups of coffee while outside, not even book bags but cute messenger bags, cutely coordinated outfits, accessories, bright colors, lots of hugs and high fives,

It's just shocking, I could go on and go about the differences. It's mostly amusing but the change mostly greatly appreciated. Now if only I could learn about infectious diseases in Sanford Hall.

3) Just get rid of cable, especially Charter. Every day is better without it. You suddenly will find yourself doing ridiculous things that you've always wanted to do daily...like reading, cooking, running, spending free time with friends, etc.

4) Get a back up lunch box...or a few...it's inevitable that you'll leave them somewhere.

5) Get spare keys made. You never know when you'll stick your key in the door and it just won't come out...

6) Make sure your name is on the pick up list at the school before you go to pick up a child you've never met before....It's quite alarming when they ask the kid if they know who you are....and they say no....and if that case...make sure you have your driver's license...because trust me...they are going to want copies.

7) Beware of oven fires. Prepare for this.

8) Consider bringing a video camera on Milledge because the conversations are always priceless

9) Invest in non- heart shaped cake baking pans. It will make life much less awkard when you're guy friends have birthdays.

10) Maybe just go ahead and make " Oh my gosh..you'll never guess what just happened to me/ who I just ran into/ who I literally just ran into" a default text option. I send that one out about daily.

11) If someone asks if you're (Insert your name here) and you are...just go ahead and say yes...saying "no" just makes things awkward and very weird very fast especially when they are very certain...

12) Stop trying to text, youtube, gchat, listen to music, and blog while working on homework.
