AUROER TRAINING!

Gah....

List of things I learned in "Auorer training"

1) Guys are a normal part of life, they are everywhere.
2) Your teachers don't baby you you'll have a lot of "wait what was due today?" moments. Ouch. Only happens once per class though
3) The laundry room is the best smelling room on and off campus
4) You can sleep in.
5) You can stay up.
6) You can eat anything you want, anytime you want
7) Food is surprisingly awesome, just repetitive and unhealthy.
8) Don't try to get Cafeteria food on sunday (duh.)
9) There are no popular kids. There are pretties, and non-pretties.
10) You thought your backpack was heavy at Hogwarts... ha...ha...ha
11) Your Labtop is the ultimate cellphone to distract guys from talking to you (basically a shield)

32) Those friends who post "i miss you" every day eventually get annoying

47) When your having a fit, best to leave the room
48) You pray before every class
49) You sing a hymn before every class

64) you have to get pretty creative with your wardrobe
65) There are artistic guys
66) there are guys who are into acting... and their straight... and cute.... and single
67) Artists are a dime a dozen

96) get on the good side of a roommate who has the car
97) challenge yourself to try something new, but no one likes the girl who doesn't have an opinion, so go see that cliche chick flick that stinks, but you don't have to say " I LOVE IT!" you could say "it stinked. But i loved the eye candy!"
98) MOST of your college friends are closer then the ones you had in high school. (you live with them- sad but true)

So i've been learning a TON of stuff, as shown, i hope i can show my kids this someday, but for those high school kids. Ta-Dah! A bit of "Auroer Training" (BUYI)



Nice Thing: Sarah could've told me this. bahaha. she picks up things so fast, and she's been an amazing support system already.

  1. Psh. I cried a lot my first month of college. Mom could tell you. Another tip- they'll listen to your first two or three home sick calls. After that, parents just get uncomfortable (well ours do at least) and they will invent an excuse for you or them to get off the phone in 5 minutes or less.
