Things I Learned This Week

1) Caffeine is drug. A very, very effectual one.
2) Thunderstorms are awesome, but you should remember to wear shoes that actually attach to your feet, not just slip-ons. Rain boots are an unnecessary (but still cool) accessory.
3) Ali totally made the right choice when she picked Roberto. I hope those two stay together forever.
4) The official American folk dance of Illinois is the square dance. No joke.
5) Before you buy a used car, take it to a mechanic. Even if they promise you a good warranty.
5b) In fact, as a general rule, used care salesmen are not to be trusted. There's a reason it's
a cliche.
6) Cookies are a band-aid, not a solution.

7) It's much easier to be a cynic, and much more difficult to be genuine. Especially if you're particularly sarcastic by nature.
8) I love him, but a goatee is not Jon Stewart's best look.
9)
Advice isn't an effective way of learning. You pretty much have to make your own mistakes to really understand anything. It blows, but it's the reason older people look at younger people and just shake their heads and smile when we insist we know what we're doing.
10) I have a feeling my friends and I are going to be really cool octogenarians someday.
