For one, my mom wants me to write about more things I've learned in college. (Also my mom wants me to talk about her. Isn't my mom the best? She's the best. Here is a text conversation we had the other day:
Me: You're a weirdo
Mama: Not a weirdo the beardo
Me: What are you even talking about?
Mama: Rhyming
end of conversation. Seriously, mama? I love you)
So let's do some of those.
what number did I leave off on last time? Let me check ... apparently I'm on
24. Sushi is crazy delicious. I wish I had learned that sooner than last semester, but also I'm glad I didn't so I didn't spend money on it until now. I need to stop spending money on sushi.
25. Sometimes dates are really fun. Other times dates are really awkward. Other other times they are really, really bad. Like call your roommate from the bathroom and tell her to save you bad. Ok, I've never had one that bad, but I've been close. But no matter how bad the date seems at the time, they always come in handy later when you're having a bad date story competition. Plus, you usually get free food, which is nice.
Sidenote: Anyone reading this who I may have gone on a date with recently, don't worry, I'm not talking about you. I had a lovely time. It's been a long time since I have had a truly awful date.
26. There are weak moments in college when all you want is a big pan of brownies. I would suggest inviting over some friends so that you don't experience the shame of staring at an empty brownie pan that not one other person partook in. If you find yourself in this situation, tell no one.
27. There are some people that you may run into on campus or somewhere around Provo and you haven't seen them in a while and you say things like, "Oh my goodness! How are you?? It's been forever! You look great! We should totally get together some time soon! Hooray!" It's really enthusiastic and peppy and you will never hang out with this person. You probably don't even know how to get a hold of them. Don't worry. They have no intention of hanging out with you either.
28. It's a really good to have friends that are willing to spend most every second of the day with you. Like this girl maybe:
Love her. That being said, don't actually spend every second of the day with them because then they might get sick of you or realize you're some kind of freak. Plus you should be at work or school or something. I mean, what are you doing with your life? geez.
And as a fun little twist, here are some things that I haven't learned:
1. Math. Not one single math class in my four years of college. It's my way of sticking it to the man. Who is that man, you may ask? I don't know. I guess I never learned that either.
2. How to share food. I try so hard to be kind and share my stuff and I really don't care if my friends use my dishes, my hair straightener, or borrow my clothes. But I will shun you for a year if you touch my leftover Cafe Rio. But seriously, I gotta start sharing those brownies.
3. How to not hate getting up early. I had four years of early morning seminary. I woke up every single day of my high school years at five in the morning. I had nearly perfect attendance, and would usually get there early. I was generally in high spirits when I was there. So now, how is it that I can't even fathom getting up before 7? Sometimes I even attempt it with abysmal failure. It is just stupid how early that is. Nobody should have to live like that. How could I even do that? Oh. I went to bed at 9. Yeah that's probably it.
And that's enough with that, because I would probably be embarrassed to admit how much I am still trying to learn. Let's just talk about a few more things and then I promise I'll leave you alone.
Katherine Pearson. I love you. We follow each other on Twitter, and I feel like that's a really special bond. Also I've heard people tell you that you look like Selena Gomez, and sometimes people tell me I look like Selena Gomez. So I'm deciding that means we like alike only you're like way beautiful.
Trevor Antley, why do we not hang out? We need to. Although, based on my own knowledge of college we never will again. Knowledge of college was rhymey. Oh no, I'm turning into my mother.
As a final act of solidarity to my childhood, I am re-reading the Harry Potter series. Because I'm a senior in college and I do what I want.
On January 28th, we're having a half-off sale at Duke's Jewelers. I work there. You should come buy things from me. Valentine's Day is coming up. Just saying.
Hey, friends. Hang out with me all the time, ok? Thanks.
Wait! Just ONE more thing.
This is my new favorite song. I heard it on Real Steel, which was a surprisingly good movie. You should listen to it because I just love it so much. I'm really sorry this post is never-ending. Except for it is ending . . . right now.
