What I've Learned in College 2

Once again, I have written a list of things that I've learned in college that is not discussed even though they need to be. 

1. Coffee in College

This past week I had Landscape Architecture which I ended up dozing off in, so the next class I knew I had to be would be awake, so I stopped by Starbucks and got a black coffee. Most people add something to their coffee, but I didn’t, so I felt very cool and adult like when I had mine. I drank it and wow, I was awake! My landscape Architecture class was fabulous, I was the only one who answered questions and I was so engaged! I took notes on my laptop (which I thought I’d need incase I got bored and wanted to shop.) and did fabulous! However, afterwards I had an awful headache the rest of the day and crashed, I was so tired. I thought to myself "This is probably what drugs feel like (Yes, I know coffee is a stimulant}" So, I went on with my day drowsy and with a hurt head. I don't know if I should continue drinking coffee or not, because my dad and aunt told me it doesn’t hurt for them, so I'm thinking I should build a resistance to the headache. But, I don't know because I felt sick later that day, so who knows if it was the coffee or a cold. Anyways, it would make my class right now easier to stay awake in.

2. My Rapping is not Appreciated. I recently learned that in college my karaoke rapping is not appreciated. I performed for people and was told I was just reading words. What? When I rap I make people feel and laugh because I don’t know what most of the words mean. I mean I have much more talent than a mumble rapper because I annunciate my words. It all began with Justin Bieber’s “As Long As You love Me.” When Big Sean rapped I was determined to know it. After lots of practice I did and can even rap it faster than Big Sean. Eventually during junior year I would perform and make everyone laugh. Senior year, I took it to a whole new level! My friend Hannah and I would stand on chairs or in front of the class with our objective talent rapping to our fans! I sang my own rendition of "Sweet Caroline" at the homecoming game. I rapped for most of my classes and impressed my classmates and teachers! Then, I saw that a group of boys made their own sound cloud group, I thought I can do that too. I made my own sound cloud song and was kind of featured on the student news network as the best musician of our generation. Some people like my song, but mostly I am not considered talented. Katherapper is no longer appreciated and is left to wallow in the once great concerts she had.

3. Kooky Kumbucha

Kombucha is an incredibly healthy probiotic drink that lots of people enjoy, myself unincluded, and apparently you can make it! I learned this in one my classes as an ice breaker. We were asked what activity we would pursue if time or money were not a factor, obviously I'd golf more, but one of my group members said she'd get back into making kombucha. She explained that you begin with a lump of bacteria and put it in a jar. Through a ten day span vinegar and sugar is added in the dark. Then, it's finished, but apparently it tasted gross and has a lump at the bottom. She said she messed something up, and apparently, all of the bacteria comes from a big mother bacteria. Who knew you could make it!? 4. Making Friends is Hard Believe it or not I have had trouble making friends. I have always been wary of new situations and new people, so it has taken me a while to get accustomed. I don’t know I guess I just expect people to come to me or be the exact person I want, but it doesn’t work that way. With so many people its a lot of work to filter thtough everyone and choose the people worth being friends with. I have to be at my best all of the time! This semester I’ve really taken it in my hands to go out and be social! Just diving in and realizing I need to. 5. No One is Amused by What I Say I have also learned that I am not that funny. I will usually say something off-color and people ust don’t know what to do. In the past, I knew tthat I was saying something off color and most people laugh, ignore me, or be annoyed. It’s the same now pretty much, but Im really starting to realize maybe no one wants to hear me say off color things. So, that's what I've learned so far and many other things.
