So my list of top lessons goes like this:
*The best teachers will educate you about class work & life.
*Going to class religiously doesn't guarantee good grades.
*Not going to class AT ALL is an extreme sport. You're bound to break something.
*It is imperative that you have a plan. In EVERYTHING you do.
*Books are important, but so is living. Find a balance now to save learning this in future.
*In as much as we are there to learn, we're also there to explore our talents.
*You only need a handful of friends. The ones who'll tell you 'Hiyo hairstyle? Hapana!' or 'Those clothes? No.'
*Because someone is in university doesn't mean they aren't ignorant.
*There's something strangely gratifying about watching someone else cock up spectacularly.
*Having a constructive argument with some human beings is next to impossible.
*Some human beings have TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
*Never underestimate the importance of a level-headed partner (never thought I'd say THAT).
*The best way to avoid being derailed is to RUN AWAY.
*Learn from other people's mistakes. Because children are a MASSIVE commitment, & herpes is forever...
A special congratulations to USIU Class of 2011. All the people who I met there, from the soft spoken & withdrawn to the downright mental, thank you. You have taught me & many others a great deal, & made us ready (partly) for the madness that is this world.
For Oscar, Carol & all those who should have graduated with us: we hope to make you proud. Love.
