Today it is my birthday. It has been 21 years since I came screaming into the world, clearly unhappy about the fact that I from now on had to actually use my lungs. Many a thing has happened since then, both good and bad, and all served to teach me something about life. So I decide to quickly scribble up a list of 21 random little things I have learned this far. I think everyone can relate to at least a handful of them.
*Football, not diplomatic skills, is the key to Universal Peace and Understanding
*The need to study is the single greatest motivator to do just about anything else
*At RVA, how to eat enough on Tuesday lunch to last until Asian Friday.
*That supporting Arsenal builds more patience than watching grass grow.
*Be careful who you trust, most of all taxi drivers.
*The amount of sugar in chai and mandazi is an amount better not known
*Work hard, then play hard
*Sleeping and pooping are two necessary evils. Imagine how much time we spend on that!
*Swedish pizza and Swedish candy are undoubtedly the best in the world in their respective categories.
*Juggling may be as hard as it seems, shame the same can't be said about eggs.
*Frosting is hopelessly overrated.
*When making the Swedish chocolate ball, expect the fact that they were formerly and more colloquially known as "nigger balls" to be brought up. Never fails.

*It is not always the biggest mango that makes the most noise when it plummet onto the tin roof.
*It is indeed possible to use a new pen all the way until it dries out without losing it first. Med school taught me this.
*If loving the Lord is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
*When an opportunity arises to make a cheeky racist joke, take it. Use the black card if anyone gets annoyingly offended.
*If someone asks you what the capital of Thailand is, don't answer. Ever.
*The question, "Where are you from?" is not the problem, it is the amount of lying you have to do to avoid having to tell your entire life story. MK Problems.
*Talking to oneself is considered weird by some people, luckily my ego/insanity is big enough that I find it most enjoyable.
*If ever in an awkward situation, just start laughing at how funny you must seem. It works.
*If it is easy, it either has been done before, or it is not really worth it.
