2010: A year in REVIEW!

First and foremost I hope everyone has had a safe and prosperous Christmas. Always be reminded that it is better to give than to receive, and that JESUS is the Reason for the Season. Okay now that I have delivered my little spiel, I can move onto the subject matter. As we approach our last few days of the 2010 year, it is important to look back and reflect on everything you have learned, encountered, experienced, and grown from throughout the year. Here is a list of some of the things 2010 has taught me:

1. Dead people tell no tales.
2. What is done in the dark always comes to light.
3. Know your role, and play you position.
4. The easiest way to get over someone, is to get someone new.
5. There is an uproar of lint lickers. They are taking over and in hiding. You all think we dont know that you are carpet munchers, but we know. Be proud of yours.
6. People are all talk. Dont just talk about it be about it.
7. People are resume builders. They do not do things because they care about it, but rather because it will help them get what they want. This also leads to the next one.
8. Once people get what they want they become brand new and often times rather annoying.
9. When you accept trash, you deserve all the trash in the world.
10. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
11. People are afraid to speak their minds in fear of being judged or ridiculed. Do not censure yourself to please others.
12. Always remember to leave no trace and DENY, DENY, DENY!
13. The reformation of hoes/shones is not real.
14. Once a hoe, always a hoe (whether they choose to act on their shonish ways is up to them but they will always exhibit the ability to be a hoe again. )
15. People just do not know how to graduate. I promise you some people just been in school for 6-7 years. There is a life outside of UF.
16. Half of ALL African-Americans will marry a HOE!
17. Shone Interventions are important but sometimes do not work.
18. Shones are always on the prowl, so beware!
19. It is smarter to be a prostitute than a hoe. At least get paid for giving up the goods.
    
20. The "COMMUNITY" at UF is DEAD, and rightfully so.
21. Closed legs dont get fed.
22. Death to lacefronts. They are not cute and they take out all of your edges. Be smart ladies
23. Basic bihs are trying to take over. DO NOT LET THEM.
24. If the shoe fits, wear it, if not jam it in.
25. If you were a BASIC bih in 2010, you will be one in 2011. No thing changes.
26. People concern themselves with other's lives too often. Get a life, and stay outta people business.
27. Too many puppets roam around UF. Create you own path.
28. People live in a fantasy world and think that they are brand new.
29. Those who have a bad appearance need not to talk about others (i.e bad weave is NO BUENO! Please get the remy)
30. You give people a inch, and they take a mile.
31. People use MENTORing for personal advancement.
    
32. People sleep their ways into leadership positions.
33. People often times like to play the victim.
34. People cannot hold water, and like to start drama.
35. Make it rain- do not be promiscuous for free!
36. People live vicariously through Twitter and social Media. They try to mislead people to believing that they are cooler or flyer than they really are.
    
37. People lie about everything. Just tell the truth for once. If you tell one lie, you have to tell another to cover up for it.
    
38. Those who are often times on the defense, are 90% of the time guilty of something. What you getting mad for?
    
39. People who are not apart of certain things should not provide input on improvements. These people are always the first ones to talk about or give suggestions. If you do not know how its run or if you have NEVER been apart of it then please keep your mouth closed.
    
40. The set is dead! The reasoning for this is unknown but accept it.
41. Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones. Stop pointing the fingers at others and take ownership.
    
42. Females have the power to control their own destiny. You are sitting on a pot of gold. Use what you got to get what you want.
43. People are still obsessed with urban wear. Baby Phat, Enyce, etc are not the business. Please do better.
44. People allow titles/positions/organizations/groups define who they are. Be true to yourself.
    
45. People put themselves at risk by having unprotected sexual intercourse. Be smart! To lead you must be aware.
