word to your mother.

Things I have learned from mom that will most definitely help me in college:

#1: The following things can in fact be put in the freezer--

--> bread

--> cream cheese

--> rotten bananas

--> endless amounts of homemade ice cream

--> chipped beef minus the dip

--> old christmas presents such as any sort of chocolate bar or loaf of pumpkin bread

--> shredded cheese

--> leftover smoothies

--> tulip bulbs

I'm so glad I know. I laugh at this now, but I guarantee my roommates will think I'm brilliant when I suggest we freeze the leftover ramen. Thats right. I got it all from my mom.

#2: Neil Diamond is a great idea. (especially when Brynn is around)

#3: Adventures are almost always worthwhile.

#4: Ask questions. Especially in situations when you can get a better deal at the store.

#5: Make lists.

#6: The more fonts on a computer, the better.

#7: Don't throw it out unless there is really no way you could make a craft project out of it.

#8: Write thank you notes.

#9: Plan game nights and bagel parties (I mean Einstein's bagels of course)

#10: Be a true friend.

So there it is. The shortened list. Mom, you're the best! I'm pretty sure that even just with these ten things alone I'm all set for Cedar City.

I hope they are set for me...
