10 Things I Should've Learned By Now

As I said earlier, one of the assignments for poetry was to create lists that are fairly self-exposing. One of the lists was "10 Things I Should've Learned By Now". I wrote down the best lines of all of the poems I graded:

10 things I should’ve learned by now

-         Girls are mean

-         boys equal stress

-         just because an animal looks nice doesn’t mean it is

-         don’t compare myself to people, be who I am

-         learn to let go

-         I should’ve learned by now that some athletes are overrated and don’t have to do much for their credit

-         I also should’ve learned that some athletes can break record after record and still not get much credit

-         That school is more important than you think

-         Your viewpoint isn’t the only way to see things

-         Don’t lend Ally anything- you don’t get it back

-         How to find out who my true friends are

-         Not always say what I’m thinking

-         I’m not getting a dog

-         I need to appreciate what I have

-         Not to paint a room with no air flow

-         Math will never get easier

-         The hamster will bite if you try to pet him

-         To watch my eye-rolling problem

-         Don’t act like everything’s ok

-         Making everyone happy is impossible

-         Don’t set your alarm for 5:30 because you go back to sleep anyway]
