Whut I Lerned at SIU Extenshun

HELL YES. I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL. Of course, I have one more day left at C & I, but that's small compared to the fact that I am done with school. So, I'm making the best of what's left for me here at SIUE. Tonight, I played sand volleyball with Dan, Brennan, Amber, and Mo..... my volleyball buddies. Then we ran to Moto Mart for fountain sodas, we are so fun! Well, I think we are, and I really enjoyed myself.

I got to thinking. I know that its useless to wish you had done something when you just didn't- but I can't help but think. Could SIUE been a little better if I had done some things differently? It's true, you do learn from your mistakes, and here's what I learned, and what I'm taking to Eastern with me next year.

*Be careful who you date. You might later find out that you blocked the wrong people out, and let the wrong ones in. Hind sight is a pain in the ass.

*Don't meet all your friends through someone you already know. Her friends may not be the people you like to hang out with the most, and before you know it, you haven't met anyone but them. You and your friend aren't the same, and you might be able to pick your own friends a little better if you tried.

*Just because someone is your best friend one year, doesn't mean you're her top priority the next year. You can't compete with a penis. Stop trying, and let it go.

*Your friends from high school may really stay your best friends. Worked for me.

*Everything takes effort. Some people are not willing to give that effort just because you are. They suck, and they're not worth the struggle.

*You really can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. I always thought it was bullshit but look at me, I went from 4 year SIUE student to moving to EIU in 2004.

*Some people, no matter how hard you try, just won't get along with you. That's their personality; there's nothing you can do. It's harder picking roommates than one would think. Better luck going with the random roomie.
