You may answer a question correctly even if you heard the question incorrectly. The laughter after realizing what you should have heard will be heard throughout the house.

Going down memory lane can be very humbling. To see where your parents lived 30 years ago and look at where they are living now, is a great eye opener on how determination and will power can propel you towards success.

Heat is all relative. Sure, it might be 110 degrees outside, but if you're in a car with the heat blasting in your face, the moment you step outside of the car it will feel like you have just stepped into a mall with awesome AC.

It's a worrisome sign when you're testing out a programming assignment and only the negatively titled tests are working.

Examples:
Tests that did work -- Suicide-note, Insult, CS-nightmare, Programming-nightmare, Friday-the-13th
Tests that did not work -- Dear-John, Haiku, Bond-movie. Bionic-Woman

You know you've met a lady like girl when she stands at a crosswalk saying "This smells like sh!t." Well guess what girl? Maybe it's your attitude that's sh!t. Have a good attitude when in public, as others are watching!

When playing a game of "Who Can Get the TA's attention first?" and the way to catch their attention is via an electronic queue, clicking stupendously fast is an excellent skill, but pay attention!  If you keep clicking even after you entered the queue first, you will lose your place and get reprimanded by your partner with a "YOU FOOL!" that the entire class can hear.

Thank you letters really do seem to work.  Send them out after job interviews!  After receiving parting gifts!  Send them with sincerity!

Independence and responsibility really do go hand in hand.  If you're a parent, try not to oppress independence with a reason of protectiveness; it will not work out in the long run.

Life is full of surprises. You may think you are safe to touch things in a grocery store, until you see someone rather rotund pick a wedgie in front of you in broad daylight. Be wary and cautious to touch things that may have been touched by such individuals.

Most people do not like confrontation, especially the aggressive kind.  However, why confront directly when you can do things indirectly?  Perhaps all that is needed is a gentle suggestion instead of "You're an idiot."

Being in a room and taking a test for over four hours can make a person very grumpy. Especially when a considerate beings decide to read out loud while they are taking their exams with other. Refrain from throwing things as it will only increase the level of anxiety. Keep a cool head and show the test who's boss!

The hypocrisy of human nature knows no bounds.  A public image of friendliness and civility may merely veil the polar opposite.  Commendations are given to acting skills.  None are given for sincerity.

Nervous? Anxious? Think you are going to go crazy? Call up a friend, go feed some ducks and bake up a storm. You will find yourself becoming more relaxed. Your heart will slow down to a mere 100 beats per minute as opposed to 1000. Friends are a great medicine to the anxious.

It's funny how technologically dependent we have become. When going to a Fourth of July celebration, instead of enjoying the outdoors and grilled foods, friends are enjoying a game on their phone. Take time to enjoy the time you have with your friends, you won't regret putting your phone down.

Beating a game is fantastic, even if took forever.  Electronic fireworks don't quite compare, but memories of previous July 4ths will elicit a warm fuzzy feeling.

The nervousness of taking an exam will only hinder one. Although hard to step past the nervousness, one should try their hardest to forget their fear and have confidence in what they know.

You may plan to be at a party for only an hour, then you realized how you have been a hermit for the past week and how much you've missed interacting with your friends! This one hour can easily turn into five hours, so when you have friends, always prepare to stay longer.
