Now that the semester is over, it is time to reflect. What have I learned thus far? What are the most valuable aspects of college life? How have I changed as a human being?
Quite the epic questions, eh? Here are a few things I have learned:
1. Dorm room odors are not pleasant, and are impossible to get rid of.
2. Caf food does not get better, you just grow numb to it.
3. Final exams are a lot of work, but it is so much easier if you keep up with the readings.
4. Washing clothes is not entirely necessary to have a social life. My mum has yet to be convinced.
5. Hammocks are beautiful things.
6. Facebook should be avoided at all costs.
That is what thousands upon thousands of dollars spent on a college education is teaching me. No, I am being silly, I have learned a lot, and my classes have been worthwhile for the most part. It took me a while to realize it, but finals week has really shown me how much information has been packed into my slightly above average-sized head. It's amazing how many pages I have read, and how many facts I have memorized in a few short months, and I am amazed to say I feel as though I know what I am talking about!
Now I am enjoying the much-anticipated holiday break, and everything that it involves. It's nice to be home, even though I am only two miles from my Luther residence. I am spending time with my family and old friends, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. I am afraid, however, that I may run out of things to do. I have already gone cross-country skiing, winter biking, been introduced to the world of video games, and eaten way too much. Life is good.
Well, I am off to have a boxing match with a couple of my mates; Jason, Daniel, and Paul, so I must go. Happy holiday season, everyone.
Peace,
