15. The never ending anime/manga Inu-Yasha actually ended!!!
16. No matter what you do, you can say. "I'm a college kid," and you have just been given your free pass to do stupid things. (Like say, running into a wall, or not noticing the no talking sign)

29. Loving someone requires a leap of faith, and a soft landing is never guaranteed.

32. Change doesn't always have to be drastic. Sometimes change happens through small steps and leaps of faith.
