Things I've Learned While In College


They say that the best education is experience. Well whoever they are they're absolutely right. Since I've been in college these last few months, I've learned a lot of stuff that I never knew before. I'd like to impart upon you this knowledge that was bestowed upon me.


1.) You can go to class with no makeup, sweatpants, a baggy hoodie, messy hair, and broken flip-flops and no one will ever look at you weird. Why? 'Cause chances are, everybody is dressed the exact same way.

2.) You can always retake a test, but you can never relive a party. Live it up while you can.


3.) Having a meal ticket means nothing. After about a month, you'll hardly ever eat in the cafeteria.

4.) Climbing in through windows is a typical way to get into your dorms. Especially if they lock them at a certain hour.

5.) Drinking is completely acceptable. But enjoy yourself now, because after college it's referred to as "alcoholism."

6.) Skipping a party because you have a test and a speech due the next day or because you prefer to watch "The Office" are not considered fouls (in most cases.)

7.) Dishes don't get done until there's no clean ones left to use.

8.) Cabin fever from your dorms in inevitable. It will happen to you eventually. You can't escape it.

9.) If you were a straight-A student in high school (like myself), be prepared to get a case of the "F*** It's" by the end of the semester.

10.) You learn that your family is everything. Especially when there's food involved.
