Ok this is going to be the last time I can post before the end of the semester (that means this is the last update until August).

I’m in the middle of finals right now. I probably should be sleeping so I won’t pass out during one of my two exams tomorrow, but I have a load of laundry in the dryer. I know it’s sad that my sleep schedule is dictated by when my socks will be dry, but it’s easier to get a machine later at night. I think Yates only has four washers and four dryers for 279 people and chances are one of them will be broken. It’s not so bad; you lucky people get to read more of my ramblings. Whether or not that last sentence was sarcastic is up to you.

Anyhoo, since this is the end of my freshman year I figured that I’d reflect back on the past year. It’s like a “what I did over summer vacation essay”, but less meaningful. I learned a few things while I was here. My GPA doesn’t reflect that but most of them weren’t in class. So during my freshman year I learned

Any idiot can build a web page

Three roommates is too many

Two’s not so bad

Naps are more important than food and water

The most satisfying naps are taken during class

If you nap in a class you’ll probably get a D as your final grade

All work can be put off in order to play a round of goldeneye (give me the RC-P90 and get out of my way)

Calling your parents is good way to procrastinate

Cleaning your room is not, it only makes your roommates think you’ll do it every time you have a paper

Shotgunning beer isn’t hard

It’s not bright though

That old rhyme “beer before liquor” is true

If you work the keg people will be nice to you, but that’s only because you give them beer

There is nothing worse than warm beast light, except for maybe beast ice

I don’t actually like drinking

I’m not a frat guy

A college satire magazine is a dumping ground for dirty jokes and pointless swearing

It is possible to write a decent six-page paper in one night, you just hate your life the next day

If you skip a class in college, almost no one cares

When talking about poetry, the first person to say carpe diem wins

There are good college bands around

There are bad ones too

A lot of people don’t know that Rage Against the Machine does not count as music

The same people don’t know that the volume knob works in reverse too

The phone numbers of two pizza delivery places and a Chinese place

Pizza tastes best at 2 AM, 3 AM is too late

Scrabble and Uno can lead to blood shed

There’s nothing wrong with going to dunkin donuts at 1 am

You can make a soda can tower six cans tall before it gets tricky

Clean laundry equals good grades (Just ask my friend Jenny)

Dirty laundry equals bad smells

You can get addicted to caffeine

And frutopia

Masterfully crafted BS gets you a B (My English professor gave a lecture about this)

Never mix a non-drowsy cold medicine with Nyquil

It pays to be easily amused

Never refuse a massage

Everyone in William and Mary walks faster than I do

Half of them work harder than I do

At least a quarter don’t work as hard as I do

If you end three items in a row with “I do” it sounds stupid

Streakers are real and they appear in packs

Trespassing can be fun (Just don’t wear white)

Never let anyone borrow your headphones and take them out of your sight

The Fox Sunday night line-up is a major social event

I think that’s enough. I need to sleep anyway. I’ve got a morning exam tomorrow and I almost missed my morning exam today (always double check your alarm, 7 AM and 7 PM look the same, but they’re not). I’m hoping to get it right this time.
