Lessons learned from a fourth-year UCLA (Art) student:
- It is nearly impossible, no matter how diligently you try, no matter how non-existant your social life becomes, no matter how face-planted you are in your books, to obtain healthy hours of sleep, to arrive on time to class, and to stay awake in said classroom.
- Cauliflower, broccoli, and any sort of fiber cereal gives you really bad gas -- don't eat these things before an important interview.
- Read Les Misérables, unabridged. You won't regret it. You will cry your eyeballs out (admittedly, partially because of the daunting task of getting through 1,240 pages), mostly because it's such a beautiful novel.
- Back-up your hard-drive. No seriously, back up your f*cking hard-drive. Now. You'll thank me when it crashes. (I said "when," not "if")
- Art school teaches you nothing -- only how to lie to people and talk pretty while doing it.
- Californian rain is like an unwelcome stranger.
- Thank your parents for everything they've done for you. I'm sure you haven't thanked them enough, you ungrateful swine.
- Counselors are dumb.
- Do NOT study abroad with CEA because they're frauds. (I even rhymed it)
- Eat a big breakfast.
- These glasses make me laugh:
