Fate can suck it

I've taken inventory on my four years at the University of Kansas, and here's what I leave with, besides my BS: The tens-of-thousands of dollars of debt that is par for the course, two sets of parents in place of one, a live-in long term relationship, a tumor, a Wii, an appreciation for wine (at any cost value) and the ability to fall asleep at anytime, anywhere I so choose.

In general, as life would have it, the past four years have been a balance of the blissful the wonderfully shitty, with a heap of the mundane somewhere in the middle. This being my last semester, I'm graduating in my fourth year, making this the first thing I've ever done on time.

I'll have to be honest, the four years have taken their toll. I've learned it's not worth it to forego a parking pass, in hopes that parking in the more secluded lots would heed tickets that would total less than the outrageous fee. (*btw, it doesn't and they tow your car apparently after not paying the $180s you owe, just a heads up, not speaking from personal experience.)

I've also learned that when Seniors in the university scoffed at me as a Freshman, it wasn't uncalled for. All freshman truly are transparently awkward and deserve to be hit when they don't cross the street at a crosswalk. Unfortunately I've not yet grown out of this phase.

The last lesson I learned (though I didn't mean for this to turn into happy hour at Mr. Roger's neighborhood) is perhaps the most important. Playing on your Wii, feeding your addiction to facebook, watching porn, and/or drinking excessively are in no way, healthy ways to relax or productive "break time activities." This I DO speak of from personal experience.

See ya later, blog!
