Things I Learned in College that didn't Come from a Textbook



What I learned was:
●If you drink 13 shots of tequilla in an hour you will throw up.

●You can go to Every Class but if you don't study and READ the textbook you can still fail.

●That guy really is checking you out.

●Reaching college early for the cafeteria hall so your first on line for an omelet is Amazing. =)

●The love of your young life is nothing like the love you choose when you get older. Thank goodness!

●My time there was actually some of the most carefree in my life (but couldn't have convinced me of that at the time)

I still learned a few life lessons. You know, because that's what you're supposed to do in college.

To Think about it--No really, think about it. Think about everything you've ever been taught, throw it out the window, start from the beginning and re-think it through. Stop taking everything for granted. Question everything. Yes, it'll get you into trouble, and yes, it may mean that you break ties with people and ideas, but it's awesome.

Trying new things should be a way of life--So maybe I didn't get much of a chance to try a space cake for first time, but improv? Strolling around Kl city without an agenda? Tasting weird delicacies? Yes, yes, and yes.

The coolest teachers will force you to grow beyond the subject matter--Whether it's your college professor, your boss, or a mentor, the best teachers will ask you to read the book, then challenge you to reach beyond the words and think, "How will I be different knowing what I know now?"

Spontaneity is the key! :)

A Good friend of mine once shared these with me(His ways of survival during the college years) :

1. Lying will save you from getting expelled. Trust me, his wanted to have a book written of " Excuses "

2. Sleeping (to stay healthy) is more important than getting A's. I need to DIG him up to CLASS! Sheesh.

3. Accepting everything people tell you is the surest way to make a total idiot of yourself.Maybe that is why he never was friendly..
