Learning in between classes

1) People eat peas even when their parents don't make them.
2) People do cool things, like travel the world. And I mean most people.
3) Chinese leftovers stink, and horribly so. (Sidenote: There IS such a thing as too much Chinese food.)
4) Kissing is confusing. Not the act, just the effects.
5) Everyone likes tea.
6) Peeing with boys in the room makes you much more comfortable around them.
7) There are no mean Asians.
8) Just because there are numerous tasty desserts at every meal, at no added cost, doesn't mean you have to eat them. Still learning this one.
9) Dancing at frat parties is like dancing at the Prom (bad), only more drunk.
10) Music at frat parties is like music at the Prom (bad).
11) It is impossible to shave your legs in the shower. Without having a machete-like effect on them, I mean. Unless you're really good at yoga.
12) The laundry room is mind-numbing.
13) The el train is sure to be slowest when it's coldest outside.
14) Everything in Chinatown is cheap. And the portions are huge. Chinatown, however, is not huge.
15) A lot of people know Chinese. This is strange, but helpful.
16) You meet grad students on the bus, or waiting for the bus, and only there. Unless one is teaching your class.
17) Most Walk/Don't Walk signs may be ignored. On campus, anyway.
18) Bubble tea is wonderful, and wonderfully overbearing.
19) Not everything (but most everything) pertains to China.
