A lesson without learning

So as many people know, this weekend was homecoming/parents/alumni weekend. This meant that for me, this past weekend was crazy!!!!! I had cheerleading and SAB set up and break down for the dance and soooo much homework! Friday and Saturday were both filled up with the festivities and on Sunday, my hall mates and I were able to sleep in until 12 pm (which was a complete first for me). After we woke up and went to brunch, we had to get started in our homework. As I whipped out my western civilization paper without a problem, but when it was time to start my college writing research paper part 1, I couldn't focus. I tried to move on to my french work but had little luck. At 5, I went to dinner very frustrated that I couldn't get any work done! After dinner, I was determined to take down this college writing assignment which was successful. At 8 pm, my crazy hall mates decided it was time to bake a cake...a cake?! I had so much left to do but deciding against my better judgement I went to bake this cake, without doing any of my homework. At around 10 pm, we returned to G2 to go to bed/finish homework. This is when the craziness started.
I'm not sure how it all started but somehow my hall mate Megan spilled ice cream on my head (on purpose). So I (being the competitive type) took Chelsea's spray bottle and sprayed Megan which backfired on my and Megan got the bottle spraying the remaining water on me. I decided to go bigger and spill the entire thing on her, which again backfired and I ended up drenched. So, I went back to my room, lathered up with shaving cream, knocked on her door for a long time, got a key to her door and attacked her with shaving cream. A long time passed before anything else happened. I was hiding in Chelsea's room when she knocked on the door with my phone. It was innocent enough. We called it truce...for only a few minutes. As I was leaving Chelsea's room, she took the cake we just baked and smeared it all over my face. Again, naturally being competitive I smeared some on her and it ended with cake all over the floor and the two of us rolling around laughing. This created a huge mess and not to mention the fact that I had so much to do still, but I learned a very important lesson during this epic battle.
I learned that college isn't all about studying and doing homework. It's about making memories and sharing experiences with others. Now as I look at the experience, I wondered what would have happened tonight if I hadn't of made the cake with my hall mates, or if I hadn't of decided to seek revenge on Megan. And in a way, life is the same as a college experience. You can study all you want but in the end, you want to be able to reflect on a life full of wonderful memories not a life full of studying.








Moral: Make time for fun or let unexpected fun come into your life even when you have things to do. These little times will make a huge impact!
