Even though time makes it easier to talk about... it still hurts like hell.

It's been 10 years and I still can't talk about it. Tbh I'd rather not.

I learned that when you think something is too good to be true, it probably is and you shouldn't get yourself all worked up over it.

I just lost the game...and so did you.

I learned that I should stop overanalysing certain things. It's a waste of my time and energy.

Playing off the insecurities of teenage girls is a dangerous practice, however it does get them off your back.

(The tone and demeanor of my sister, cousin, and their friend can only be expressed in internet terms) -
My sister: [looking at my yearbook] Hayy take her 2 ur prom lolz
Me: No...
My sister: why? she r cute!!
My female cousin:

? Why? she r b my friend's cousin!
Their friend: Whyyyy?
Me:...uhh I don't want to
My cousin: Whhhyy?
Their friend: Whayyy? she r b my friend's friend's cute cousin!
Me: I just don't like her.... we're not compatible...I don't want to spend time with someone I don't enjoy the company of.
Their friend: lol? srslly plz, why?!?
Me: She's ugly (?)
All: OMG, urrr sooo mean & shallow jerk & evil & stupid. i hait u. ur such a typical guy. omg.

I may have gotten hit about 4 times, but I don't think they've spoken to me in the last 37 hours.

I thought my roommate was perfect for me.

I have since learned that she is beyond perfect for me.
This'll be a great adventure.

^ That the president is starting to scare me now.

I've just learned a bit more about population genetics, mutations and evolution. Science is cool. Lol.

I learned that when you're looking forward to a day in the near future, that day takes FOREVER to arrive. I've always been able to fool myself by dreading the day before that day (if that makes any sense), but it doesn't work anymore.

I learned that if I have to walk further than two blocks, it's gonna start hurting like CRAZY (in my hip), so, no need to wonder anymore. At least that's how it's BEEN, but I'll be glad to unlearn this pearl anytime!!!

(oh, yeah... also learned, by myself, that people can't feel your pain, and if they were honest, they don't really want to know about it either.

Of course that includes myself, so, yeah...)

Life... can be so many things... how can anyone ever think they are RIGHT? HAhahahahahahaha!!!!!

I learned that I'm going to die of pain if I have to keep riding my bike around every day. D:

And I also learned that I'm allowed to have seven nights worth of overnight guests each quarter.
Too bad all of my friends live too close to need to spend the night.
Because I can imagine a dorm-sleepover would be oodles better than a regular sleep over.

Pomegranate can help prevent/reduce: Heart disease, viral infections (like the common cold), systolic blood pressure (whats that?), dental plague, and breast cancer.

So while it may be kind of like, mild cranberries, pomegranate is sort of like a miracle fruit.

There's something that's missing if we can't recognize that our own existence is the miracle before our eyes. --Michael Tait

Then again, mild drinking prevents cancer. Pomegranates taste wonderful, by the way.

I learned that nothing is quite like knowing that a wish might soon come true.

I learned that I have to pay my housing bill.
Today.
In person.

The building is over by the library.
I just came BACK from the library.

It's 100 degrees outside. I'm NOT going back over there today.

Why can't they just accept online payment like everybody else??
