Things I learned from 2010

So as this wonderous year draws to a close, and I am totally sick because that's just what happens when finals week is over, I'm reflecting on all the lessons I learned this year. I believe life is about growing and progressing and this year has been a year of progress, and this is what I learned.

- Birthdays away from home on the first day of school suck, no matter how cute your outfit is.
- Even though you're not in high school anymore, people don't act like it.
- You can win a gold medal in a snowboard race.

- Friendships endure over space, time and occaisionally ill-fated romantic ventures.
- Brenda Cooper is the F word. (Feminist)

- English 2010 isn't worth your time.
- Flirting with boys and then finding out they're engaged...is a tad awkward.
- Steve wants to take you to the observatory....but only because Kuniko said no when he asked her. And then he asked Kayla after you said no....
- You can survive a car accident.
- Saying good-bye won't kill you.
- Delta airlines will get you home a day late when you don't have time to spare.
- You will act on emotional impulses no matter how hard you try.
- Sometimes giving someone a second chance is the best decision you'll ever make.
- You don't have it all figured out.
- Obama and Osama bin Laden are synonymous in International Politics.
- You will call Fidel Castro the bearded wonder, George W. Bush baby Bush, and George H.W. Bush papa Bush. Thank you Furlong.
- Grammar class will turn you into a Grammar Nazi.
- You will graduate from college in 2 years.
- It's ok to ask and accept help, especially when it comes in the form of Diet Coke with Lime.



- Working from home is not nearly as fun as working in house.
And I know there are many more lessons that I learned and have yet to learn, but all in all a pretty good year.
