The Beginning of the Voyage...

It is 12:41 am, and we have just completed our sixth week of college life at UT... and our Subway sandwiches, because we seem to eat there together a lot. Dani just told me that she feels creepy because this is like one of those engagement blogs... "The Knot" or whatever? But no, this is just a "best friend" blog. Or a "college life" blog. Whatever you prefer.

Hi, JB.

As many of you know, college students never do anything. We, however, are doing something productive and wholesome with our time. So if anyone decides to complain (*ahem, Carter Cross and Jacob Fowler)... swallow your comments and realize that it's late, and we're two college coeds who are trying maintain some semblance of integrity while the rest of campus is out partying. Because yes, UT just won a game.

So now, for a list of things we have learned... most often, the hard way:

--The UC does not serve food on Saturdays. Period. So if you're hungry, you shouldn't walk all the way over there. There is NO FOOD.
--If there's noone on campus, and all the lights are dark in the UC, that DEFINITELY means they're not serving food.
--Boys shouldn't carry umbrellas, unless it's for their lovely lady friend.
--White v-necks get you through the week. They are a STAPLE ITEM.
--Dino-bytes are delicious.
--Don't drive on Magnolia unless you know EXACTLY where you want to go. It's scary as all get out.
--Golden Roast is wonderful.
--...but Dirty Dancing is WAY sketch.
--Sometimes, you become best friends really fast if you're saps and you like to cry in the cafeteria.
--Always take a friend when it's late and you're walking from your car, because there are a lotta creepers out there.
--Frat boys wear suits. A lot. And DO NOT help carrying heavy loads, even though you'd think they understood what chivalry was... apparently, many college boys don't understand the concept.
--Cafeteria cookies are really easy to wrap in napkins and give to people as gifts for getting planners out from behind washing machines.
--Mold grows in the practice rooms.
--Don't put your books on top of the washing machines.
--If you fall easily, you shouldn't grab a friend as they're reaching into the ice cream cooler. It might scare them and make bystanders laugh a lot.
--The fortune cookies in PCB are not so fortunate.

And our final piece of knowledge...

Sometimes, you become best friends with someone you never really expected to. And it really is a blessing.

We hope you enjoyed our first post! And we promise, it WILL get better. Goodnight, and God bless!
