What I Learned On My First Day of Senior Year

1. Any attempt to save money by taking coffee with you to school instead of buying it once at school is a waste of time. You will just finish the coffee from home during your commute and just want to buy more once you get to school. All this means is that instead of two cups of coffee this morning, I had three.

2. Nyack will, at least once every semester, somehow manage to mess up. This year's attack of choice? Inability to access my online courses of which I have three.

3. I did not (despite the many times I try to convince myself) miss school. I missed friends. I might even have missed work. I did not miss school.

4. Happiness is new folders.

(To be completely honest, I already knew this fact. However, I was reminded of it today.)

5. Don't get too excited over new purchases lest you crash rapidly from your purchase induced high when one of the products turns out to be less than stellar. Down one folder. . .

5. Always keep a back-up pair of earrings somewhere safe in your bag. Loss of earring can take an outfit from cute to bummish in about five seconds flat. Also, loss of earring makes you sad.

6. Pay attention to where you step. You may just find a missing earring.

7. Jesus was a fantastic teacher. Seriously. Go read the book of Mark.

8. When you arrive home super late and freezing, don't forget the stash of very chocolatey chocolate cookies from your baking-to-avoid-thinking-about-the-future craze of two days ago. They might just make your night.
