Well, now that it's '10, I just thought I'd make a list (sort of for my own sake, don't ask why) of a bunch of reeeaallly important things I realized/learned in '09.
10. Don't ever underestimate anyone. Even the nicest people can screw you over.
9. Just because somebody is "nice" on the outside, doesn't make them a good person on the inside.
8. Stand up for something. It means you're finally learning to stand on your own 2 feet when you do.
7. Don't ever get your hopes up too high.
6. Don't take things so seriously. When you overreact, you really don't know who you could be hurting in the end, (surprisingly, you are hurting people).
5.
