Well, I am home for the summer. I have been for awhile, I just haven't updated my blog. Since I just finished my first year of college, I thought it would be fitting to post a list of some of the more valuable life lessons I learned during freshman year at Messiah College:

1.) Coloring books are not just for kids and the 120 pack of crayons is one of the best inventions ever
2.) Getting packages is like winning the lottery
3.) When to do laundry is determined by when you run out of underwear
4.) You can know nothing and pass a test just as easily as you can know everything and fail
5.) Wikipedia.org is not considered a “scholarly” source
6.) You shouldn’t buy textbooks unless you’re absolutely sure you’ll read them
7.) Staying up really late just because “I’m a college kid and it’s what we do” is a bad idea
8.) Cafeteria food is just as bad here as it was in high school
9.) Finals are actually kind of a big deal
10.) No matter who your roommate is, you’ll always wish it was someone else
11.) If people find your food, they will eat it and not tell you
12.) The biggest illness is procrastination, and it is very contagious
13.) If you wear jeans and a clean shirt people will ask you why you look so nice today
14.) If you borrow something, you better plan on returning it because EVERYONE knows where you live
15.) No matter how close the fitness center is, it’s still too far away


Since I've been home, I've:
1.) Started working as a nanny
2.) Finished working as a nanny
3.) Done day trips to the aquarium/inner harbor
4.) Spent an obscene amount on scrapbooking supplies
5.) Started a scrapbook of my freshman year adventures

This summer I will also be taking a class at the community college. That is all for now.
