What I Learned in my 21st year of life

Today is my last day of being a 21 year old.  I can't believe how fast this year has gone by and yet I feel about five years older.  So, today I decided to make a list of all the life lessons I have learned this past year.

1) If you walk into your apartment and it smells like gas, call the gas company.  They will probably make you sit outside your apartment in the dark waiting for the guy to come check it out, but it's worth it to know you aren't going to blow up.
2) The reason your apartment smells like gas is probably because your pilot light went out.  I thought a pilot light was in your car.  Or perhaps in an air plane.  I did not know that it was in my gas stove.
3) For the love of all that is holy, put on sun screen when laying out.  Even if it is chilly and you don't feel like you are getting any sun, YOU ARE.  And you will pay.  And you will hate yourself.  And you will scold yourself for the rest of your last spring break.
4) Just because a company has you interview with 4 people, doesn't mean they want to hire you.
5) College does not prepare you for the real world.
6) Never forget to defrost your chicken before cooking it.  It will be bad and you will have to throw your dinner away and eat chips instead.
7)  There is always room for ice cream.  Even in the dead of winter.
8) Snuggies are awesome. Especially when they have hoods.
9) Quitting your job takes a lot of guts.
10)Texas is HOT.  Like don't want to leave the house even if it's to go shopping hot.
11) The best way to kill time when the power goes out for absolutely no reason in the middle of summer is to go get ice cream.  And then go to Wal-Mart.
12) Sometimes your house will be the only one on the entire street to lose electricity and you will have to listen to your neighbors have a raging party.  Do not go attack them.  Calmly continue to read your book by flashlight.
13) When you are a bridesmaid it is best to bend your knees so you don't feel like you are going to faint.
14) You are never too old to love going to the zoo.
15) You are never too old to love going to COSI
16) I am really bad at pool, but it is still important to play anyway.
17) You can learn how to do anything using youtube.  I learned how to curl my hair with a straigthener watching this video.
18) Charlie Sheen is psycho.  (WINNING)
19) You can still be best friends with someone even if they happen to be living in South Korea.
20) Hot chocolate and cinnamon toast make everything better.
21) Easy mac will never be as good as regular mac and cheese.
22) I have always planned on my long term goals like settling down and having kids but I forgot to plan on what I am going to do after college.  Oops.
23) When your roommate puts a bunch of apple slices down the sink and it gets clogged, using the toilet plunger is a resource not to be overlooked.
24) When dealing with a washer and dryer that takes quarters, always make sure you have enough quarters to dry the clothes you just put in the washer.  Otherwise you will be scouring the apartment forever trying to find a quarter and cursing the machine for not taking two dimes and a nickel.
25) Coin operated washer and driers do not take Canadian money.
26) This too shall pass.
27) Writing out to do lists on post-it notes for everyday of the week and then ripping them off the wall is highly satisfying.
28) No matter how much I study accounting, it will never make sense.
29) Companies do not care if you have a college degree anymore, they care about how much experience you have.
30) I have learned that I still have a lot to learn about life.  How come when I was 16 I thought I knew everything, and now about 6 years later, I know nothing?
