College Lesson Learned #1

#1- Free stuff is always good, whether or not it sucks.


We live in a materialistic society. We like "things." But what beats ABSOLUTELY FREE?!? Not much. Those first couple of days of school where you get all the free stuff, like the frisbees that don't fly or the pouch thingamajiggers that are supposed to keep a can (of soda of course) cold but really doesn't quite do it, are the best times to take advantage of free stuff. Who knows if that white t-shirt that you got from the international club will turn into a tye dyed shirt or a dish rag? 


However, the best part is the free food. The "Freshmen 15" is definitely kicked-off after those first couple of days with more pizza, burgers, hot dogs or brats than anyone could ever imagine. I'm pretty sure that I gained maybe a fifth of that fifteen from those first couple of days. 


Moral: Get free stuff. Make your tummy happy as well.
