Here is a short list of very random things that I have learned in my first year of college and living away from home:
1. If you want to make a guy leave you alone, make him feel self conscious by staring at his hair line while he talks to you. (Thank you for this Warren, it really works and has helped me out many times)
2. Do not leave any food you want to eat in the sight of other girls. Especially if you write “Don’t eat! Lindsay’s food” on it.
3. Don’t bring Chanel boots to an apartment. They will only be ruined by mold.
4. The point of a apartment manager or landlord is not to help fix problems but charge you for not cleaning off the stains on the kitchen wall due to the leak they still haven’t fixed.
5. Even though you are considered and adult the landlord wont listen unless your parents complain. (My landlord didn’t do anything about our leak until 3 of my roommate's parents called to complain and my father showed up to make sure something was being done).
6. No matter how many times I try to think otherwise, most (if not all) male dancers look gay.
7. Do not take teachers that know who your father is. (Unfortunately 4 out of 5 will).
8. Do not add anything that even shows you are slightly liberal, into any paper, unless you know your teacher is too.
9. No one understands how you can date someone for more than 3 months and not be engaged, so don’t even try to explain it.
10. Conversations that begin with someone hitting on you and then asking for your name are common. To avoid these, stare at his hairline.

haha I love this. hey! I can understand that you can date someone more then 3 months and not be engaged. so there! i loved this blog more then little girls like colorful butterflies.
So that's why you were staring at my hairline the other night. Thank goodness I've come to accept the fact that I'm balding. I'm immune to your attempts at making me self-conscious!
Regarding number 8.. "Wait.. you're liberal?!"
#9 = story of my life.
Awesome list and oh, how true. Now you know the way to avoid teachers knowing your parents is to not major in their department. I was blissfully unknown to almost all of my professors (which was both good and bad). But both of my parents were able to get me good jobs on campus, which was a definite plus.
