1! High school started around 8am, now anything before noon time is early. Actually, anything around 8am is more like asking someone to sign their own death warrant, unless of course you’re in problems in PR, than it doesn’t matter what you think about early mornings and late nights and caffeine intake. There’s a science behind that, I promise.
2! There is always more alcohol in the fridge than food. I don’t know why this is true, I like to think it’s because as a college student you are either a.) and alcoholic or b.) you thought you were going to drink that, but you never had the time. Too many early tests around noon. Lol. Personally, I kept my alcohol in my locked drawer, and if it didn’t fit there, I put it under my dirty laundry pile in the closet. What RA is going to sift through that… unless you’re a perv…
3! Weekends officially begin on Thursday. No Friday classes at all, sometimes there’s a group meeting or two, but I like to think of Thursday now as the day to tie up loose strings so I can have a guilt free weekend without procrastination… That’s what I tell myself anyways.
4! 4am is when you go to sleep. Most people go to bed around 3 I would say, 2-3am, than being a college student, and that extra hour is spent in two ways, 1.) your drunk, or 2.) your mind is thinking or reflecting for about an hour.
5! You learn to cook ramen noodles in more than one way. Just to keep up the diversity on the dinner plate lol.

7! You will know the hours of operation for places like white castle, mcd’s, dunkin donuts, taco bell, and BK.
8! You think it’s the weekend on Wednesday and you don’t know what month it is. Sometimes this happens when you are really wrapped up in what you’re doing in school. I think that every student should be willing to go the extra mile to accomplish their goals, and this happens a lot when you put your all in.
9! You can’t remember when the last time you washed your car was. I remember fondly once, that my car was covered in a film of green from the spring, and the only thing that made me was my car was after parking under a sap dripping infested tree of doom for the period of the whole day. That sucked.

11! Facebook will be checked more than once a day if it’s not already.
12! You will fall off of a bed loft if you have one, at least once in your life. I lived under my bed for a semester because I would wake up thinking I was mid fall from the top of the bed. Unfortunately, I didn’t figure out you could have maintenance raise the bed higher, so while sleeping under it, I would wake up and slam my head on the bottom of the bed, which in my opinion is much worse on a daily.

38! Care packages rank up there with birthday presents.
39! You meet people who you thought only existed in movies.

57! Class sizes double on exam days.
