No points.

When you take a biology quiz and have no idea what the answer to one of the questions is saying you weren't there for that lecture and then making up your own answer won't get you any points. Even if that answer was really good.

Sometimes roommates think that when you're sleeping it's less distracting to answer their phone and have a conversation than to simply leave the room.

The day that you look like an absolute bum at school will be the day you see more people on campus than the rest of the semester combined.

Don't do homework at your cluttered desk. You will end up losing three pens in less than five minutes.

Flirtation fail.

All of my stories are about things I have done that were epic failures, but today I'm writing about someone else. Today I witnessed a guy's plans go up in flames and it went a little like this:

So this morning I was lazily sitting in chemistry trying not to fall asleep. Nothing was going on around me and the teachers voice was droning on like I've never heard  droning before. As I casually glanced up from my notes I noticed the couple in front of me. The guy was writing on the girl's paper. I thought this was weird because they could have easily just talked to each other without anyone noticing, but whatever. Then I saw that the girl was responding to him by writing on his paper, so I got a little intrigued. Assuming they were married or something I wanted to sneak a peak at what they were writing. I couldn't see what she was writing, but I could see his. Apparently they weren't married, because these are the things he wrote:

"What's you're name?"

(I don't know what happened between this comment and the next comment, but I'm pretty sure she dropped her pen and maybe asked to use his, or something along those lines)

"You better not steal my pen.

Do you have a bf?

Darn!

Now I'm not paying attention to a thing.

No problem :)"

Ouch! That's gotta hurt. And even better was the awkwardness between them once class was over and everyone was leaving. They didn't say anything to each other. Oh man, I'd hate to be that guy right now.

Not fun.

Finding out your apartment is out of toilet paper sucks. Finding out five minutes after you noticed you started your period sucks even more.

If its really cold outside and raining, but the defroster on as soon as you  get in your car. Otherwise you will start driving and slowly more and more rain will freeze to your windshield completely blocking your view.

If you have a friend who is absolutely obsessed with boys, don't ask her about them. She could go on for hours.

If you know that management is coming to look at your apartment for cleaning checks be fully dressed. Otherwise you'll have to dress as fast as you can when you that knock at the door and your roommate lets them in.

The girl who tripped.

When the girl walking in front of you trips on a crack in the sidewalk, don't full on laugh out loud. You'll probably make her feel like an idiot. Especially if you are alone and can't pretend that someone just said something hilarious.

You know that little piece of skin inside your mouth that connects your upper lip and your gums? Yeah, you can tear that. And it hurts.

When heating up chocolate chips to melt them, take them off the heat the second you see that they have the right consistency. Two extra stirs and the chocolate will get clumpy because its too hot.

Ear muffs during winter are helpful. Realizing this halfway through winter is not.

Winter woes.

If you have known for a while that you are extremely clumsy, stay away from the ice on the ground at all possible costs. Seriously. Otherwise you will be slipping and sliding and falling all winter long. Even if its only slush on the ground.

Check the temperature its supposed to be before you go night skiing. You might end up dressing for -20 degree weather when really its 10-15 degrees outside.

When making cheesecake be sure you have added all the ingredients before you put the batter in the pan. And also before you put it in the oven. Adding the heavy creme and mixing it into a partially cooked cheesecake might not end so well.

If you are cleaning up your pantry and putting the spaghetti in its place, be sure the container is upright. You don't want spaghetti noodles all over the floor where the cleaning supplies are. Including the toilet brush. (Not lying.) The noodles won't be usable.

Casual meeting.

Don't try to be friendly and meet the person sitting next to you during devotional. You will get asked multiple times if he's your boyfriend. And you won't quite remember what he looks like so when you see him later in the day you'll look at him for a bit, then do a kind of cough mumble hello just in case it wasn't him.

Beware of the third floor of the English building. It smells like tuna.

Just because a girl talking on her cell phone in the hallway has a really pretty accent doesn't mean you need to stare her down.

If you see someone coming towards the elevator that you are in, stop the doors from closing. Otherwise you'll feel like a jerk as you and the other person make solid eye contact while the elevator door slowly shuts them out.

Heart attack scares.

Call your Grandma before you go to her house to pick something up. Yelling out that you are present won't help, and she'll come out grabbing her heart because she was so scared she almost had a heart attack.

Don't forget that when all your siblings are married (except one who couldn't show up) and you have a family dinner, you will probably get left out. But hey, at least you get the choice to sit at the 2-4 yr old table or the elderly table.

When shopping for stockings on Christmas Eve every store will be sold out. You'll have to get Santa hats instead.

When you get home from Christmas break before the rest of your roommates, don't forget about that one that is from Belarus and never went home. You'll awkwardly walk in on her in a bath robe.
