I usually hate these.

You know those stupid quotes that are always like, "Don't frown, because you never know who's falling in love with your smile" or "Don't draw a heart around his name, draw a circle because circles don't break"? (Ok, that last one's stupid, because I'm pretty sure circles are able to break) Along with those types of things, there are all those long paragraph-y type things that say, "Dance like no one's watching...blah blah blah." Well this morning, as I was stalking people on FB, I stumbled upon a girl's (I went to hs with her) profile that had this thing in her "Favorite Quotes" section:

IT'S COLLEGE! Make MISTAKES. Make the same mistake TWICE (because it's TOO GOOD to only make once!) Forgive others. Forgive yourself. Forget things. PARTY on a weekday. PARTY HARDER on the weekends. Forget that you partied at all. Get sick. Get so sick that you DON'T REMEMBER how you got sick. SKIP CLASS. Go out instead of doing homework. Stay up ALL NIGHT before a final. Be SPONTANEOUS. Make plans. Break plans. LOVE. Get attached. Get jealous. Fall hard. BREAK HEARTS. Get your heart broken. Cry. Cry harder than you ever have, then laugh at it later. LAUGH SO HARD YOU CAN'T STOP. Have moments that you wish would NEVER END. Have moments you wish never began. Have conversations you'll NEVER FORGET. Have conversations without saying a word. Say the WRONG thing at the WRONG time. Get angry. Be CONFUSED. It will all become clear eventually. It's COLLEGE. These are the experiences that you're going to miss and NEVER FORGET...so LIVE IT UP!!

Okay, try to ignore all the crazy CAPS LOCK spaz-attacks, and it's pretty reminiscent of college. Hell, even just this past summer when I was still in Kirksville. I don't really have much else to say about this paragraph except that reading through it, it pretty much sums up the last two years of college pretty well. Damn, I miss that.
