With the first semester coming to an end and winter break right around the corner, it seems like the perfect time to reflect on some of the things I've learned over the past few months.
1. Figuring out what to eat for dinner every single night is tough business.
A girl can only live off of frozen mac 'n' cheese for so long.
2. Walking to class takes more motivation than I ever imagined possible.
Well said.
3. Paying for laundry is a terrible, terrible thing.
$1.25 may not seem like much money, but trust me it adds up.
4. It is definitely acceptable to wear sweatpants every day.
Or, that's just what I tell myself.
5. Going to the gym is tough.
Taco Bell? Yes. Treadmill? Not a chance.
When it isn't homework time, it's sleep time, people.
6. Speaking of homework...
That pretty much says it all. Moving on.
7. However, finishing homework is possibly the best feeling ever.

8. Sometimes a good pep-talk is needed.
9. Waking up for an 8 .m. class is horrendous.
You think it won't be too bad because "you did it in high school." Ha. Ha. No. It really is that bad.
10. Frat parties can be downright nasty.
Your clothes? Burn them. Chances are, you probably sweat so much and had so many things spilled on you, no amount of Tide is enough.
11. At the end of the day, it's worth it.
Yeah, we all may be running on five cups of coffee and three hours of sleep, but we're pretty lucky to be where we are. Thanks for a great first semester, UK! Now on to finals week.
