facts you found out way too late

[rtil]

today i was eating a pickle and i was reminded that it was only a year ago that i learned that pickles were really just pickled cucumbers. before that, i had always thought pickles were their own kind of fruit.

what's something you found out way later in your life than you should have?

"once bitten twice shy" means once bitten, you're twice as shy

not shy before, bitten then, shy after

Cyclones are pretty much hurricanes. I don't know why but I always thought they were like tornado's.
Fleas are attracted to lights (not only that just never knew about that). You can pretty much have light shine on water with soap in it to have them drown themselves.
The uvula is the thing in the back part of your throat. Never knew what it was called.

- No one on here likes me
- People think I'm weird until they meet my friends
- Do things as soon as possible, leaving them until last minute is bad for you
- Becoming nocturnal just to play videogames with internet friends isn't worth it
- I will always lag on online games no matter where its being hosted
- Don't mention anything about a woman's looks unless its "You look nice"

There are probably a bunch of others, but I don't care enough to think of them

Last Fall, I transferred from community college to Cal Poly. Unfortunately, I wasn't as prepared for my major Political Science as I should have been and had no idea it was so law based. The major ended up being a disaster and since they wouldn't let me switch to Computer Science, I had to drop out. If I had any idea they were so strict about major switching, I would've never wasted my time at that fucking school. Now I'm back at community college and I have to take six math classes in a specific order to satisfy transfer requirements. I also wish I realized early on that Political Science wasn't going to work out at all. :/

My school's dumb because I originally wanted to have a political sciences minor with my animation major cuz why the hell not. Well my school doesn't let you minor in anything not art related if you have an art major. Yet I could be a political sciences major with an animation minor which is pretty dumb. Apparently a lot of art students who want to do music too have to be music majors with art minors.

whelp, up until last year i had literally never heard a single one of madonna's songs, and i had no idea what she looked like.
thought she was black.
for eighteen years.
i finally found out the truth when i had to buy my roommate a magazine and madonna was on the front cover.

that's probably the most out of touch i've ever felt.
