Well i'm finally done. My first term of college is out of the way and now it should all be down hill from here right? Probably not but I can dream can't I?! During my first term there are many changes that I have experienced and things I have learned. As many of other first-year college students do here is my list of things I have learned and done this past term that have made me smarter and A LOT happier!!
1. Dishes don't do themselves, if you want them clean its up to you.
2. Patience really is a virtue when you have roommates.
3. I'm dumb for having an 8 o'clock class in the fall.
4. My cell phone is my life, and always lose it or it doesn't work when I actually NEED it.
5. NEVER let guys do your make up and hair, they make you look like a fool.
6. Trips home are the best.
7. College eating habits are random and rather unhealthy.
8. If you want guys at your apartment make food and then offer it to them or simply open the door and they will ALWAYS come.
9. Staying up all night doing homework is normal and advised and usually when the most fun occurs.
10. I can stay awake during class better when I get less sleep... weird i know
11. Devotionals are GREAT..... for catching up on sleep... just kidding... kind of
12. Weird stuff and comments happen in the wee hours of the morning and then embarrassingly make it on the quote wall of your apartment.
13. Analysis and research papers suck hardcore!!!
14. The police beat is the FUNNIEST and MOST RANDOM thing ever and totally makes my week... weird stuff happens at BYU... the deodorant guy... haha remember Shelby!!
15. As sad as it is, sometimes facebook is your only connection to the outside world when you are in hardcore study mode.
16. Creamery food is the BEST and so is their ice cream.
17. Balancing school and a social life is hard. Plus you have to throw in sleep and eating in there somewhere and you have to do this everyday!
18. You don't miss watching TV and the last show i watches was AFV at the Provo insta care.
19. Being from Utah, I'm the minority at BYU, a UTAH school, which is cool except no one knows where i live when i say Roy.
20. Guys will eat just about anything.
21. Six girls sharing one bathroom doesn't work!
22. Food goes bad a lot quicker when there is only one person consuming it, making for a lot of food thrown out due to mold.
23. College is expensive. Mostly because of books because they are WAY overpriced. No college book is interesting enough to be worth $50.00 or more. Professors are out of their mind if they think it's worth that much.
24. The religion department is WAY too picky about their copies.
25. You probably spend more money on printing papers than food! No you do!!
26. You miss your mom's home cooking a lot!
27. Dating is fun in college and that's because it's cheap!
28. Having opening prayers in your biology and every other class is awesome.
29. I'm happier now than I have ever been.
30. I love BYU more now than I did before, and I didn't think that was possible.
I other stuff...
1. How to save money better and not spend it on stupid stuff.
2. How to be a good Sunday school teacher and teachers always learn more!
3. I went to the insta care twice. One for my ankle (volleyball) and the other for my hole in my lip (swimming).
Well that's what i learned and i can't wait for fall to see what else is in store for me to learn. I'm sure there is soo much more! Wish me luck!

Wahoo Brooke, I didn't know you had a blog. Hope everything is going good for you.
Tiff
All great lessons, but there will be plenty more lessons learned in the next few years. Can't wait for the graduation post :D! Oh--and I loved the SPA pictures. Excellent makeup artists in your FHE group!
Very true, especially numbers 3,4,16,20, and definitely 29. And I can't decide whether my favorite photo is the one from the trampoline gym or the one with shelby and john from pizza night... both classics. I am glad you updated this, because it is great! You should blog more often =D
