49 things I have learned in my less than two weeks of college:

1. #collegelyfe
2. breakfast is overrated
3. the freshman fifteen is a thing and it's terrifying and it's also known as the cannon center
4. YSA ward sacrament meeting is eerily quiet
5. fanfiction is a life ruiner
6. I have an obsession with e.e. cummings
7. it's totally reasonable to spend $44 dollars at barnes and noble
8. poetry books are always more expensive than novels
9. it's actually a terrible idea to buy the big boxes of goldfish because freshman fifteen
10. being everyone's second choice kind of sucks
11. that whole hair-doing-looking-presentable thing is also overrated
12. I still love my mauve lipstick
13. cherish caffeine while you can, because guaranteed you're too lazy to walk across the street to Wendy's
14. skirts are a fabulous idea in the summer
15. unless it's windy
16. (courtesy of my roommate's cousin) don't park the car near the building if you plan on making out in it after your date
17. I either need to change clothes less often or get a bigger hamper
18. power outages result in screaming from apparently everyone but me
19. don't buy cartons of milk if you're only going to be using it for cereal every other day
20. even ten a.m. classes are difficult to stay awake in
21. the third floor is not the place to be if the a/c is out
22. there are bagels in the vending machines THIS IS NOT A DRILL
23. it's totally reasonable to be laying in your bed on a Friday night eating dry cereal out of a butterbeer mug while wearing a Gryffindor snuggie and reading fanfic about the Marauders
24. don't park near the grass or the dried sprinkler water will make your windshield esp difficult to see out of
25. writer's block is not the shit
26. cinnamon toast crunch is the shit
27. chick-fil-a is also the shit
28. sometimes saying shit on accident while you drive will make your roommate laugh
29. the whole mailing address thing in terms of the dorms is really difficult to figure out
30. it's really simpler to write notes on paper than to type them out on a laptop
31. like, really, that laptop is just more weight on your back
32. people like to go places without you 
33. all the time
34. so you end up sitting in your dorm room writing about things that you've learned so far in college and drinking dr. pepper with lipstick stains on the straw and reading selected poems from e.e. cummings
35. cake batter chapstick isn't actually bad
36. thumbtacks are really handy
37. as are command hooks
38. and goldfish
39. the xtreme cheese kind
40. even if it's $8.50 and you're just a poor college student
41. actual garbage bags are helpful
42. 3:14 is a perfectly reasonable time to go to bed
43. no one will want to go to seven peaks when you do
44. and they'll go to fault in our stars while you write a paper
45. and then you'll cry because feelings
46. and then you'll be okay because you'll come up with really good comebacks to the comments they'll never make
47. and listen to book on tape worm
48. and it's seriously all cool
49. like, srsly wat.
