Wisdom from my Table

My placemat happens to be a QuickStudy® guide. What is a QuickStudy® guide? you ask. Well, Rob Mitchell (Notre Dame) says: "When it's time for finals review, you don't want a mountain of paperwork... you need bullets; QuickStudy® has them!" But this isn't your run of the mill study guide; this is a study guide for life (as it pertains to college freshman). So, read on and you may just learn the secrets of life.

Laundry
• three tablespoons of a dishwashing liquid can be used as detergent (Dawn is best)

Getting More Friends
• join a fraternity or sorority... choose wisely

Food on a Budget

• raman noodles, of course (not very healthy in the instant form - loaded with sodium)

Parties and Going Out

• have themed festivals for food or film with friends; a vampire film fest could include fake teeth, blood punch, a lot of slicked back hair and Vampires Kiss, Lost Boys, Interview with a Vampire and Nosferatu

Sharing the Grocery Bill

• simply not a good idea
• countless best friends have decided to challenge this fod sharing negativity, only to end up alone, heart filled with rage and hands holding the long awaited yet sadly empty pan scattered with brownie crumbs

Warning

• be wary of heart breakers, they will mess with your focus that could foul up YOUR future, the most important future of all
• keep your feet on the ground, unaccomplished goals become dreams; dreams disappear when you wake up in low rent housing

That's why we say Know It Now... Use It Always.
