Well to test this theory, I decided to write down every day the new thing I had learnt. Incredibly, I refrained from following something like 'OMG facts' or '1 million facts' on Twitter, or every day it would be related to something about how intelligent monkeys are, or examples like this I just found '32 out of 50 spinal cord injuries are caused by trampolines'.... aaaah, comforting.
Anyway, here is a list of some things I learnt through January. Some days were incredibly boring and therefore I didn't bother including them, and some days I didn't learn anything, but hey, I'm not worried, my brain is too full of incredible facts and therefore more knowledge is unnecessary...
January
1st. A ciabatta roll filled with original Doritos work perfectly to line your stomach for a New Year's Eve drinking sesh. It was rather dry, but my meal cost less than a £1 so I wasn't complaining.
2nd. It seems KFC have decided it is a good idea to include the amount of calories in each meal next to it on the billboard thing. Never going there again unless I want to cry when eating fast food.
3rd. Your Nan's thoughtful present of an iCarly advent calender loses its excitement when you forget about it and eat it during the New Year.

| Informing my mum of my impending death due to 'trenchmouth'. |
6th. I was told today by the dentist I had 'trenchmouth'. Effectively, I learnt I hadn't been eating properly and had gained an infection soldiers contracted in the war when living in trenches. Genuinely one of the most depressing days of my life....
7th. Today, I held the chair position against the wall for 7 minutes to beat 4 other people, 2 of which were aged 10 and under. Needless to say I didn't come first, and couldn't walk properly for the rest of the day. Lesson learnt - never be competitive.
9th. If you revise a lot, you may get in the shower with your bra on. Best to always check before you get in.
10th. University exams suck ass.
12th. Just because WKDs were appealing when you were 15 doesn't mean they still will be at 20. Bleeuuugh.
13th. I engaged in my first hungover train journey today - and understandably I was confused and upset with the gentleman sat beside me as he decided to buy a bottle of red wine from the trolley lady, and proceed to drink it next to me. At 11am. Oh the fumes were HORRIFIC.
16th. Only just realising that Northampton is a truly boring place, and would be pure shite without my cat, my family and my friends. To be fair, I could deal with anything if my cat was around, as she is an absolute babe.
17th. I learnt today MI5 want me to become an Intelligence Officer and work for them. Careful kiddies, I will be ruling the country soon enough...

| I'm currently a bit busy, but you can wait can't you? |
19th. If you decide to take a casual change in hair colour to a darker, redder ginger, strangers will shout 'WE LOVE YOU JANET DEVLIN' at you in the street. Hmmmm...
21st. Took my mum out for dinner tonight (well she paid and I showed her the way) and she was taken in by the student lifestyle and had one too many glasses of wine. Silly Lisa, spritzers for you next time.
23rd. Your first day back to uni and you find out your politics seminar leader is called Neil Diamond. Day = made.
25th. It is Wednesday, and it has just turned 12pm. AND ITS THE WEEKEND FOR ME YAAAAAAAAAAH (best feeling EVER)
26th. Politics can be interesting.
27th. Politics is boring (I re-learnt this one after attempting some politics reading.).
29th. That one of the most awkward things in life is listening to your mum going through ex-boyfriends and current guy mates to see who you should go out with next. Seriously children, if this ever happens to you, you will know how painful it is.
And overall I have learnt this month to depend on myself for happiness and not anybody else :)
Also my fruit and veg pledge for my New Years Resolution is going extremely well as seen in photo. Though for dinner 2 days ago, I had a cheese and broccoli pasta ready meal, and added to it more broccoli, and more cheese. Personally I would say that I expanded my repertoire in cooking, and if anyone would like the recipe, I would be happy to write it down for you for a small fee. Let me know.

| Can you put cheese on those? |
Had to include this, obviously on the Daily Mail website...... literally giggled for about 10 minutes after reading this HA HA HA I'm still laughing now!!
 |
| HA HA HA why is this so funny?!? |

| Cutest cat EVER. |
