what+i+wish+i'd+known+sooner

so i was reading a book called 'chicken soup for the teenage soul' and it had a list of things people had sent in to be published in the book that they had wished they'd known sooner well, i ran out of ideas for my site a couple weeks ago and i want to stay in the top ten most edited pages on the lionsgate site so i'm going to put some of my favorites from that list here. (and i'll add some of my own as well)

cereal is essential for all college students. who cares how stupid you look eating it at 7:30 p.m. (that's not just college students) haven't we all done this?  these are my own that i added

 * dropping a cell phone into a bathtub full of water kinda kills the phone
 * your mother will find out if you dye your hair purple
 * don't ever fall in love with someone who is more than 1000 miles away from you. it usually doesn't work out
 * milk crates make boring pets (duh)
 * if it hurts, DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

 * when in doubt, duck. when certain, don't bother,'cause you're already screwed
