What I learned Freshman Year

  1. Not much.
  2. How to make an omelette.
  3. How to make an event on Facebook.
  4. I'm pretty sure Evans 4 is haunted.
  5. Evolution is the change in allele frequencies over time.
  6. Everyone has an identical twin on campus. Mine plays the banjo.
  7. I also have a black twin.
  8. Polyester does not shrink in the dryer.
  9. My cute blue sweater did shrink in the dryer.
  10. Beauty and the Beast is a great movie.
  11. Knitting is cool.
  12. Gatorade is good, but Kool Aid is better. And cheaper.
  13. I can go an entire school year (possibly several years) without watching any tv shows. However, I cannot go a month without Nintendo.
  14. Chicago should be its own state.
  15. Chemistry sucks.
  16. Everyone knows Spanish except me.
  17. Cheesy Valentine cards are awesome.
  18. Artificial sweeteners “were all discovered accidentally by sloppy chemists who didn't wash the chemicals off their hands before leaving the laboratory.” ← quote from my chem professor's website.
  19. Flash drives are supposed to help you keep track of your files, but they usually get lost on the abyss of your desk, ensuring that you never find your essay again.
  20. Milk parties are the best parties.
  21. Carbon is a magical element. In fact, a diamond is just a giant carbon molecule. Someday I hope to get a giant carbon molecule.
  22. It's tacky when you end a list with a number that is a multiple of five.
