Things I Have Learned In Sweden

The title is pretty self explanatory, so here we go:

1. A sweater + tights is considered a great outfit (pants or skirt are not included) and is not seen as completely scandalous. However, it should be.
   
2. Havregryn means oat...so if you buy havregryn milk, it is actually oat milk instead of soy milk. If you happen to purchase this by mistake, you will discover that it is actually better than the sad excuse for soy milk found in Sweden and much better for cooking too.
3. Sketchy is not a known term and no one will understand you if you happen to use it in conversation.
4. If your Swiss neighbor happens to see the red lifeguard shirt that you occasionally wear to bed, she will get really excited. It will probably take you at least an hour to figure out that it resembles the flag of Switzerland.
5. Flour is different in every country. Adaptation is difficult.
6. Recycling is difficult, especially on the Jönköping University campus. Surprisingly, the only place to recycle paper on campus is at the Sodexho Cafe. Life is really strange sometimes.
7. A gorgeous basil plant costs the same amount as a cucumber. Purchase both.
8. School is much more relaxed. Prepare to miss homework, stimulating class discussions, competent professors, going to class every day, and the Block Plan immensely.
9. The shortest route to the bus stop involves crossing train tracks. Learn the train schedule before attempting this journey because trains use the tracks regularly.
10. It will seem like there is absolutely no way that the bus driver will make 98% of the turns he attempts, but he does - 100% of the time.
