life lessons from my history teacher

Today, history class was about something bigger than just history. Today, my teacher was doing straight up life lessons. It began with a teaching about romanticism in art and then became a lesson on being Romantic. Here are 10 things that I learned:

1. Love is not listening to logic
2. love is being willing to die for someone else even when that doesn't make sense
3. everything else is lust or a crush or going to turn into something more
4. Roses are absolutely cliched... but if that's what she likes, then that's what you get her
5. Its about the individual (that one might have been about the artwork... it's unclear)
6. make sure she/he knows that you love them
7. love is supposed to make you stupid.
8. you need to really know each other... and don't worry, you won't run out of convos to have
9. most 10th grade boys don't get their girlfriends flowers. you are a sweetheart if you do
10. She is always right. the woman is 'the man of the houe'. always

He told us this and many more life lessons much more profoundly and beautifully than I ever could. If you chose to soak up the right things, high school becomes much more meaningful.
