All's Well That Ends Well

So my days as a student have come to an end, and I would like to share some of the things I have learned from this life altering experience:
1: Water is essential to life (G. Schuppe- Ecology)
2: Works loads decrease significantly if the teacher has surgery (B. Varga- Landscape Management)
3: A shovel does make an acceptable gift (T. Roper- Senior Seminar)
4: Dirt requires a lot of calculations! (R. Cartee, P. Grossl- Soils)
5: Breathing helps stop the pain (E. Green- Yoga)
6: Circles can also be tress and shrubs (A. Spranger, S. Buffler- Residential Design, Basic Graphics)
7: ALWAYS talk to your advisor before you do anything! (C. Meyers- Internship)
8: Studying for a quiz while you walk to the class is not an effective method for retention. (B. Barnett)
9: You can turn in late work and still get full credit (depending on the teacher)(P. Johnson- Turfgrass Management)
10: There are a lot of botanical names! (C. Aston- Woody Plant Material)
11: There are a lot of laws when it comes to destroying pests (C. Aston- Pest Management)
12: A teacher on sabbatical while you are taking the class is a bad thing (J. McAdam- Structure and Function of Economic Crops)
13: Teachers can be very smart and still can't teach (S. Young- Fruit Production)
14: Irrigation design knowledge does not equal irrigation knowledge (Construction II- M. Borecki)
15: It can be fun to have a 7:30 class (R. Whitesides- Weed Biology)
16: It is possible to look forward to the teacher evaluations (Construction I- J. Elsworth)
17: Interest in biology can change depending on your major (K. Mott- General Biology)
18: Chemistry can start with a bang (D. Harris- General Chemistry)
19: The orientation class is NOT for transfer students, but still required (C. Meyers- PSC Orientation)
20: 50 observations can be made about anything while eating ice cream! (B. Varga- Plant Identification)

There you have it. What I have learned while spending my money over the past two year. Of course there is more, but I thought these would be more enjoyable for everyone. Thank you to all of the teachers and staff that have helped me through my schooling, and thank you to all of my friends that have supported me daily with homework and social release!

I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
