Advice.

Okay, so I have some advice for anyone who is about to enter college.

1. First and foremost, ALWAYS wear flip flops in the shower. Even if its just you and your roommate and Lupita cleans your shower every week. I learned this lesson my freshman year and yet again my junior year.

2. People selling things that involve contracts around campus are NOT your friends. I repeat NOT YOUR FRIENDS. They are as close to Satan as a salesman will ever get!

3. The gym, however, IS your friend. You will eat like crap, accept it.

4. If you cannot afford to pay for a lovely, even tan and do not want to damage your skin anymore, DO NOT use spray tan from the store. If zebras were orange and tan, I would fit right in.

5. Do not wear flip flops everywhere. Your feet will look and feel like death.

6. Invest in some ear plugs, just incase your neighbor fights with her boyfriend into all hours of the evening. And just so you know, a slap in the face in the next room is quite audible. And there's nothing like the door slam that follows.

7. Beware of who knocks on your door. Every once in a while it will be your friends, but there's some other groups you never want to answer the door for. First, The Jehovah's Witness and their portable dvd players. BEWARE the dvd is at least 25 minutes long. Second, RA's. They very often will use every tactic except physical force to get you to come to events in the dorm lounge (such as transgender education and watching the movie Milk). Third, the maintenance man. Don't even bother opening the door they'll just come in anyway.

8. Do not live in a building that sends you an email that reads, "The air conditioning and heating system will be out of service until mid-April. Sorry for the inconvenience." Because that just sucks!

9. Don't forget your roots. It's easy to get caught up in the crazyness of college. But don't forget the people that will be there for you no matter what: your family!

Here's some pics from the A's visit.

Okay, so the day it randomly snowed, I wake up and my dad says to me, "I left the snow on your car because I thought you would want to see it." The fact that my dad even considered cleaning it off for me was like the nicest thing I have ever heard. AND he knows me so well that he knew I would want to see it! Mom, you got a keeper!

YAY having a SWEET camera!
