What I learned from Life 101: First Summer at Grad School

• Roanoke is beautiful but boring.
• There’s an awesome band called Honor By August. Look them up. Buy their CDs.
• A tiny room is adorable, but not great for company.
• Cooking at home is always cheaper than eating out. Everyone should cook at home more.
• That said, Cheddar’s is AWESOME. You should go there. Get the Veggie Plate. 
• Talking to the people in your class makes the class easier.
• Best stress relievers include friends, pizza rolls, risotto, visits from boyfriends, trips off campus, and wine.
