10 Things I Learned on Campus

So this wasn't supposed the be the topic of today's post, but I realized the many things I learned in just one day. It seemed for a much more fun post and I need a little bit of fun today.

  1. I will always be girlier if my hair is straightened. This seems superficial, and it is, but if I feel girly then I feel good. If I feel good then I get more accomplished. You gotta do what you gotta do. 
  2. The cafe in the library has the BEST Chai Tea Latte, hands down! No more Starbucks for me. 
  3. Heaven forbid you remember where someone sits (she will think you're stalking)! Next time, I'm taking her seat.
  4. Having freshmen friends is the bees knees. They are required to have meal plans and they always get guest passes, which means free lunch! 
  5. Hanging out at the library will always put me in a good mood. Walking the aisles and pauses to search through a book is a form of therapy for me. It forces me slow down. 
  6. The right amount of eye contact and sincere smile will take you far on a packed bus. For instance, from point A, standing in the aisle, to point B, sitting in seat.  Smile ladies!!
  7. The best place to read, study, or just be alone is the second floor in the union. I hate when I'm reading and people keep trying to talk to me. Clearly I'm busy! The Union is full of other like-minded individuals. 
  8. Very few people will understand an anxiety attack and almost everyone will get annoyed if, and when, you have one. It's ok! Have the attack and move on afterwards. Dwelling just causes more anxiety. 
  9. You might find yourself in a class where two or more individuals will debate technical Mary Jane terms, as contribution to the lecture! It's best not to befriend these people
  10. This is the most important thing I learned:  IT IS POSSIBLE TO TURN A BAD DAY INTO A GOOD DAY! Surround yourself with positive people, always be honest about what's wrong (no more, "I'm fine," if you really aren't), and look for the positives. It's hard at first, but it is do-able. 
BONUS! 
Whoever placed the yoga studio in front of the basketball courts must have been a man. That is the worst 30 second walk ever.

  1. Um..1st off yes! I suck at basketball now, but I will be playing like K.D. every time yoga class is in session. 2nd point, Starbucks is now hunting you down for leaving them. 3rd I'm happy you are using and abusing freshmen, that should be the right of every upper class man. Just remember my favorite quote, "Excuse me mam, if I give you money will you buy alcohol for me and my friends." (Hehe...the age of your guy "friends"). Last thing to touch on I'm very happy to see numbers 8 an 10, kool aid smile that you can't see.

    1. Are you trying to make reference to someone!?
      Also, while I can't physically see the Kool-Aid smile I can definitely remember what it looks like, lol.
