1 year down...

So my first year at UConn is about to finish, and I guess it's worth noting observations I've made throughout the year. Some of them will make sense and others you won't have a freakin' clue about. That's okay, maybe some time you can ask me about it and we can have a good converstion. Anyways...

1. Datsyuk is Dirty and Lindros is a Goon
2. 82 acres is sufficient to have a good 4x4 adventure on.
3. Besides family, (almost) nobody really gives a shit that you are gone.
4. Pure flow is pure filth.
5. Everything I learned in high school is a joke.
6. Some of the best hockey players I know are not the best hockey players.
7. Carry $5 with you at all times.
8. Memorize as many funny movie quotes as you can, because when you recite them, you are a god.
9. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to syphon antifreeze (which tastes like gummi bears and flat soda) with a drinking straw.
10. "Live music to the fullest" - Stuart Dias
11. Sometimes you need to stop talking and watch life.
12. If she loses 20 lobos, moak that ass.
13. There just isn't enough ply to go around.
14. The best addition of music to a film is the opening scene of "Apocalypse Now" with "The End" by The Doors.
15. Unless you want 3 months of your life brutally taken away, have a professional overhaul your engine.
16. Don't bring water to a pond.
17. It is actually possible to play-out Led Zeppelin.
18. Parties are, well, parties; but an open bar is a whole other story.
19. If you go to Splash, it wasn't us.
20. There's a lot more to auto racing (not NASCAR) that meets the eye.
21. The object of living in a college dorm is playing your music louder than everyone else.
22. Life is way to short to hold grudges.
23. People you don't normally talk to in high school become your great friends at college (especially parties).
24. Too many people go through the motions at college.
25. Pretentiousness doesn't make a good friend.
26. Once in your life, lie down, piss drunk, in the trunkspace of a jeep cherokee, and watch outside as you travel down I-95.
    
27. If we were to base the future of this country on collegehumor.com, I weep.
28. 30 something thousand dollars is way too much to pay a raving lunatic like Ann Coulter to speak.
29. Go see Carlos Mencia live. Television doesn't do him justice.
30. Bob Saget as a comedian is overrated.
31. Paul Wall is the worst rapper ever, but the coolest nickname to give someone.
32. $7 is way too much to pay for a cup of coffee and a piece of poundcake.
33. I saw the leprachaun in Alabama, and I know where the gold is at.
34. A fine cigar with your best friends is the epitome of being alive.
35. Train your kids to play sports, and force them to keep playing throughout childhood. You wont have to pay for college and they won't have to do shit when they get there.
36. Don't friend someone you don't know on facebook/myspace.
    
37. If you don't make a bowl game, you don't deserve your own private dining hall.
38. There are more to economics than guns and butter.
39. It is possible to stay in touch with someone 3,000 miles away for 7 years, yet lose touch with someone half an hour away in a few months.
    
40. Don't Jealous
