I have been thinking lately and have thought to myself what I have really learned out here in good ol Iowa! Living out here has not only taught me many things, it has helped me find out who I really am. I am just going to share with you some of the things I have learned and experienced out here in the rolling hills..
- When you get the opportunity to do something crazy, and out of your comfort zone do it! Move 19 hours away from your only family and friends to some foreign place you have never heard of... such as Spencer, Iowa. And find out all the wonderful things about it!
- When buying food to take to college with you make sure and not bring corn to spencer... because that's all you see for miles and miles.
- Get to your dorms early so you can have dibs on rooms, so you don't get gypped into having to share a two person bedroom with 3 people. Sorry Drew, Sel, Becc :D
- When you find an addicting song such as Moves Like Jagger, and decide to wake up to it every morning at five in the morning for soccer. You come to find that you later hate the song with a passion!
- Never be late to practice! Getting yelled at at 5:30 in the morning isn't that delightful especially when coach uses a full vocabulary. #$@&&@^!!
- Go star tripping.... the funniest, dizziest, thing to do in Spencer!:D
- When we complain about the heat in Utah, wait till you move to another state, then you really come to find out what is extremely hot and humid, and cold and frigid!
- When you get bored and decide to go with some crazy random boys from the soccer team to a deserted house, found out its completely deserted before you walk around the property and repeatedly go back, because then you find that someone really lives in the house and you get chased going 100 mph to get away. And when you do find a deserted house to go into and get freaked out make sure to have a guy next to you :D
- When you see a charter bus and come to find that we get to ride one to all our home games, dont get too excited because being on that bus with the guys and girls team sucks! Reasons why the bus sucked: It is SO uncomfortable! And when they play a movie, its so loud that you have to scream to talk to the person next to you or when you are listening to music you have to turn it up full blast. The bathroom stinks up to high heaven. You learn not to sit in the backseat of the bus because people freak out. Our bus driver almost killing us several times, I mean come on its your job! Learn how to drive! Its either extremely hot or cold on the bus. So lesson learned dont make a fool outta yourself and get all excited when you see the bus!
- When going shopping you come to find out that a college athlete diet usually consists of lots and lots of gatorade (blue is the best) and granola bars... great diet right?!
- Having a hott men/quote wall was the smartest thing we could do to decorate our front room! Always brings a smile to your face... such as Drew: "When Thomas and Brittney get married and have kids will they be born with accents?" or Selena: "Its hard being a single father raising four children." hahah it makes you smile every time!
- Learn to never take the dishwasher/washer and dryer for granted! Spending $4 for each load of laundry gets quite expensive.
- When washing your clothes in the creepy laundry mat make sure and bring someone with you, especially when you get stalked by creepy men! Also make sure to have the cap on the laundry detergent fully on so that it doesnt spill all over your clean clothes, and then you having to do laundry again!
- Dont laugh when you find out they really have a corn palace and lots of people actually go there to see it... can i say weird?!
- When going to Mall of America make sure and have enough time to go, because when your coach limits you to only a couple hours it totally overwhelms you because there is 4 floors and over 200 stores and you want to look at all of them!
- When there is a state fair, take every advantage and go to as many concerts as you can! You wont regret it! And go on rides with your roomies, just remember one thing dont eat before you go.
- Dierks Bentley is a hot man!:)
- When you are at the Clay County Fair make sure and try ALL of the fatening deep fried foods they have! Especially the deep fried snickers bar, deep fried donuts, strawberry smoothie, grater tater, deep fried cheese curds... but I didnt care to try the deep fried butter and giant turkey leg.. Iowians you guys eat weird!
- We found that Iowa people dont know how to say Apricot, or bag/flag for that matter... hahah
- When it come to homework, learn to do it first and get it done... rather than waste all your time on Facebook, Pinterest, a blog and realize that its due in a couple of hours.
- NEVER take a home cooked meal for Granted! The Dock (cafeteria) is disgusting and you usually find your self complaining and wishing for a home cooked meal and then cooking yourself something.
- Pasta sides wayyyy better than top roman!
- When my dad sends me a box full of knives in the mail, dont show your roommates because then they freak out and think that you are gonna kill them sometime.
- When pranking the boyz learn that they play dirty and will get you back 10 times worse... especially with 3200 dixie cups full of water. Boy that was fun to clean up:0
- Dont let anyone know that when someone makes a throw up noise that it really bothers you and almost makes you throw up yourself.. because then people make the sound as a joke.
- Buy sleeping pills especially when you are a light sleeper, because if you dont you may wake up to sounds you really don't enjoy... cough cough :D
- Never try to climb out of a window when you are on crutches, doesnt really work out too well.
- On that note be extremely careful when you are on crutches and think you are invisible especially on ice. hahaha
- Never make fun of your roommates car never working cause karma comes back and bites you in the butt, resulting in a $400 dollar repair on your truck :/
- Learn that when you wanna pull a prank on your roommates its hilarious at the time until you get payback :D
- Go out with your friends and dress up and do something fun every once in a while, being cooped up in your dorm can get old after a while!
- Make sure that your playlist for soccer music is "appropriate" and doesnt say one swear word, also nothing to do with retarded.. coach do you not know how hard it is to find a song that doesnt swear but pumps you up? Well its hard :D
- After eating McDonalds you realize you regret it every time after you eat it
- Going to Walmart at 1 in the morning is always a fun adventure, especially for a college student who is bored, tired and dumb.
- Don't be surprised when you get pulled over by a cop because your license plate says Utah.
- Rilee is the best. EVER.
