My mom has always told me (and everyone else in our family) about how much she hates myspace, facebook, twitter, and personal blogs. She says that they are self-centered, ridiculously stupid, and presumptuous. Presumptuous that anyone would care to read about what is going on in your life. This is true. Now that I have acknowledged that it is highly unlikely that anyone cares about what is going on in my life, I am free to write. I am currently half way through my first semester at college in Austin and as I start off on "life's next great adventure" (thanks for the cliché graduation cards Hallmark), I hope to write honestly about the unique and eccentric experiences I could encounter by going to college. For today, I leave you with a few key things I have learned...
a. Six hours of homework is normal. No, not for the weekend, for the week day.
b. I can write a 3 to 4 page paper in an hour. Sometimes less.
c. A Meyer can learn to sleep through the sounds of a college dorm.
d. Almond croissants are delicious with vanilla steamers, especially if enjoyed while walking across a beautiful campus during the first few days of fall.
e. A lot of college kids smoke and have tattoos. Actually just a lot of people in Austin smoke and have tattoos.
f. Just because you speak English, doesn't mean that you speak American (American's have A LOT of accents).
And that's not including all of the academic lessons I've learned so far, which have been plentiful as well (No really, they have been).
Until next time...
