Things I've learned (part 2)

Here's some more of this! I hope I can think of lots to say.

9. (Yes, I'm starting at 9) Sometimes there are people on campus who do weird things like sing out loud to themselves or dress up weird or start yelling in the Wilk, they're either doing some kind of social experiment for their freshman sociology class or they're super nuts. Either way, I've found the best approach is to just act as though it's completely normal and you don't even notice it happening.

10. When taking a test in the place where all happiness goes to die (also known as the testing center), there's this moment right before you look at the screen to see your score. You're feeling really confident or at least pretty ok about your test. This feeling is a trap. You did not do well on that test.

11. When you do actually look up at the screen, and happen to see that abysmal test score next to your ID number, it's best to save any emotion for a dark corner in your apartment. Or possibly eat your pain away at J Dawgs or Scoreboard.

12. J Dawgs is delicious. Eat there as often as you possibly can without wanting to hate yourself. But I don't know if you can hate yourself after eating a J Dawg. Get the special sauce. Seriously.

13. BYU chocolate milk is the best chocolate milk there is. That plus a doughnut from Sugar n' Spice and you'll gain that freshman 15 in no time.

14. As hard as you may try, Cosmo will probably never be your boyfriend. Even if he meets your dad and everything. Life is hard.


On a completely different note, I got an email from my mama yesterday detailing her plans for Christmas break and what everybody was doing. Needless to say, all I want to do now is go home and sit next to the fireplace and be with my family.

Other note. Yesterday Grant was trying to watch a movie on the XBox, and he was all, "How do I set this thing up?" Then Keola said, "Think outside the box." Hilarity ensued.

Last note. B flat.

Chanticle

I asked Dani Bakker what I should write about and she said, "me." Deal. Dani makes delicious cookies that I should just not try eating because then I want to steal all of them from everybody. She tells me that I dress outrageously, but in a really nice way that makes me feel good about myself.

After this exchange with Dani, Cambria Hill grabbed a cupcake, broke off the top, flipped it over, and made a beautiful icing sandwich. Blew my mind. That deserves to be recorded for the masses.Also, she likes me because I help her think of words and correctly place commas. Then this guy:

was all, "Will you mention my name in your blog? That would be awesome." And I told him, "I'll do you one better, Keola Goodman. I'll put your picture up there." Also, yesterday we spent an hour reading first world problems, and I kept being able to relate to them. Awkward. He's the nicest person ever.

A couple minutes later Grant Gagon asked why I've never blogged about him. So, I love Grant Gagon. He's the best home teacher anyone could ask for. He's also the best at paying compliments to me.

A few more things: Mackenzie Walker is a delight every time I see her smiling face. Scott Moberg is always willing to go to the temple with me, and thinks my baptizing form is impeccable. Mickell Walker pretty much lives at his kitchen counter doing accounting homework, and it motivates me to park it right next to him and edit my brains out. Drew Reid and Cherie Abiang pretty much make me pee my pants out of laughter every day. Bri Barrett, Aubree Street, Sadie Cervera, and Hannah Johnson are my favorite roommates. Wouldn't it be awkward if I had a fifth roommate? I don't.

Basically the moral of this story is that my friends are great. They are the best friends. I don't know why they like me because they're all way cooler than I am. Sometimes they make fun of me for the stupid things I say, but they hang out with me anyway. Right now I am sitting among them, and they aren't judging me for blogging. So that's pretty great.
