This entire evening has felt like some sort of screwed up deja vu from this time last year. I don't know why, but I definitely appreciate that it is no longer this time last year, because I was really different and insecure. Hopefully I don't fall back into my old ways.
Now seems like a good time to write a list of what I learned this year:
1. Being self conscious doesn't get you very far.
2. Confidence (but not too much) does get you far.
3. Stepping out of your comfort zone can be good.
4. What people think of you is their problem, not your's.
5. Procrastinating holds people back in life.
6. If you want money, getting a job is a good idea (take note, me)
7. Friends are the ones who stick with you no matter what.
8. If people tell you that you're judgmental, chances are they're a hypocrite.
9. Coffee and a lot of candy at once is not a good idea, because you will crash terribly later.
10. No matter what happens, some people will not let the past go.
11. Under no circumstances slap somebody when they upset you.
12. If you think you're a big deal, you're probably not.
13. I like pretty much everything British. Their accents, the awesome city of London, Doctor Who, movies that aren't Hollywood, and random sitcoms, thanks to week I spent at my grandparents' house.
14. The future is so far away. Wait, I have three years until I graduate. And then, I have no clue. Should work on that.
15. Somebody with Alzheimer's should not be in charge of feeding a pet. Or say hi to your hippo, which used to be a cat.
16. Sad enough, doing nerdy things is sometimes worth it so there's something to talk about with some people.
17. Don't eat the open chips in the church cupboard. Seriously, just don't.
18. For a month long trip, a big suitcase, carry on suitcase, and a backpack is far too much luggage for one person.
19. Reality TV is getting going downhill rapidly.
20. When I'm sick, I tend to do irrational things like watch chick flicks and Gossip Girl.
21. Stoners will roll on the floor laughing when you fall off your chair in class.
22. Canada is sleepy. And there's no chance of being carjacked.
23. Family gatherings will never stop being awkward for me.
24. Being friends with guys is almost drama free, unless your friends are dating them.
25. Being awkward in public places is my calling in life.
26.There are some people who you will never get along with, even though everybody else does.
27. Life tosses you strange situations... deal with it.
28. Hating people gets you nowhere. Tactfully avoiding works much better.
29. Standing in a crowd next to a friend who just screamed,"YEAH! I'm gonna get laid!" makes you wish you weren't present at that particular moment.
30. But loving your friends is still necessary, no matter how strange they are.
31. If I ever lean my seat back all the way on airplanes, I feel like I'm invading people's personal space.
32. Condescending eccentric people cause the world suffering.
33. Keeping in contact with old friends is the only way you'll stay friends.
34. I won't take your crap.
35. I hate hearing people being made fun of. Unless they deserve it... ex: Justin Bieber, people who are doing pathetic things in a drug addled state.
36. If you hurt my friend, I plot your demise.
37. Don't live your life as a wannabe.
38. When your friend's mom has a hilarious slip of tongue, try your best not to be the first to laugh.
39. Sometimes, people are scared to do petty things, so you have to do it for them.
40. Be happy with your life, and don't wish for something else. Do the best with what you have.
Love,
-J-
