Useful skills

Top 3 things I learned in college that are helpful in the Peace Corps:
- How to play Frisbee
- How to take a shot
- How to stretch my laundry in between washes

Top 3 things I learned in college that are NOT helpful in the Peace Corps:
- Comparative Political Theory
- Popular Literature of the 18th century
- Fundamentals of Finite Mathematics

I’ve heard that academia doesn’t always prepare you for real life: I’d say that’s pretty accurate right now.

Frisbee, and laughter, are definitely the universal languages.
