As of Friday at approximately 8:37 a.m. I completed my first half of college. In light of this somewhat terrifying benchmark, here's a list of practical, and not so practical, skills I think every half-college educated citizen (or just legal worker) should have:
1. Be able to tie a tie- my worldview was shattered when I discovered that in a converstation with 4 boys, only one of them knew how to tie a tie. Especially since 3 of these 4 boys had job interviews in the past month. (The one who didn't was the one who actually knew how to do it.) When in doubt, go to YouTube.
2. Know how to judge a sprinkler cycle so you can run through the sidewalk without getting soaked.
3. If you want to type in a URL that ends in .com, you can type in the main word, hit CTRL+ENTER, and it will automatically add the www. and .com part, as well as take you to the site. No joke, this will change your life.
4. Sometimes it's more important to wait until you have something intelligent to say, rather than talk just for the sound of making noise.
5. Procrastination will ALWAYS bite you in the ass.
I would think that after 2 years of college this list would be longer. Oh well.
