1)  Guys are never, ever more important than your friends.  Even if 
they swear that they'll love you forever, they won't.  Your friends,
however, will always be there for you with ice cream and "He didn't
deserve you, Kel."  Or whatever your name happens to be.

2)  You should always call your best friend after watching Beaches.

3)  Best friends know you better than anyone.  Therefore, you must do
whatever you can to keep them happy so they don't tell. :)

4)  Friends make you laugh, but also let you cry.

5)  Friends are the people who will play Uno with you for hours.

6)  Cans of Fancy Feast make good weapons.

7)  It's *okay* to be a Spice Girl.

8)  It's fun to be collegiate.

9)  There's nothing better than picking up the phone and hearing your
best friend's voice.

10)  Convertibles are fun.  They just are. :)

11)  There's nothing better than driving down the road with the 
windows down, singing at the top of your lungs.  Especially if the
song is "Bitch" or "Under Pressure."

12)  You can never have too many people named Jennifer in your life.

13)  Creativity and inspiration can come from the weirdest places...
like, for example, a church nursery room.

14)  It is always a bad idea to take a roommate's advice over the 
advice of someone who has known you for over ten years.

15)  Black-and-white cookies are bad.  I can't stress this enough.

1)  Those in your family love you no matter how much you screw up.  
They have to.  It's the law.

2)  It's not a wise thing to watch sad movies with your mother.

3)  Parents don't live forever.

4)  It's always nice to go home.

5)  Sometimes the best relatives are those you choose for yourself.

1)  This is from Jen.  "You haven't learned it yet, but don't date a
guy on the Internet."

2)  If he comes from a place where maple syrup is considered a food
group, don't date him.

3)  If he can't tell the difference between you and your best friend,
don't date him.

4)  If he says he loves you after knowing you for two seconds, don't
date him.

5)  If his idea of caring is keeping you blissfully ignorant of all 
the other girls he's seeing, don't date him.

1)  Sloe gin is bad. 

2)  It is possible to drink eight glasses of water in one sitting,
though not without a trip to the bathroom and several odd looks from
the busboy.

3)  Five hours of standup comedy does not a vacation make.

4)  Spending more than twenty minutes at a stretch in a golf store is 
very boring.

5)  When in the company of a person you're attracted to, it is best
to keep your mouth shut rather than risk saying something moronic.

6)  When a relationship ends, it is usually best to leave it there.

7)  There is no drinking age in St. Thomas.

8)  If it's free, they don't card you.  Once you try to pay, however,
Ivan the Bar-Nazi will step in.

9)  It's perfectly okay to strip in the middle of the street...but 
only in St. Martin.

10)  Don't get lost in the Dominican jungle.  It might take 15 minutes
for the group to find you. :)
