Note from the author, Matthew De Re: I hope these Life Lessons will help guide you through life and ensure you will never end up in the jams in which I was once found. So much blood, sweat and tears went into the creation of this list. I struggled so you don’t have to. Use these lessons and use them well. I wish you all the best of luck and On Wisconsin!
