So, I was reading Ash's myspace, and she wrote these. They are SO true, but I added a couple on the end.
Tidbits of knowledge from my first year at college...
1. Guys will always give you free alcohol. always. this is never a token a friendship. never. instead this is their attempt to get a hook up. always.
2. You know that little rhyme about drinking beer before liquor?..yeah...always follow that please, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
3. No matter what anyone says, you don't have to tip the pizza delivery guy. your a poor college student....they can deal with it.
4. You don't have to feel bad about eating a McChicken at 2 am after a party because the drive through is open 24/7....chicken's good for you..i think.
5. Some of the most amazing women that will ever enter you're life come to you during your first year of college. embrace them.
6. Some of the most amazing women you will ever know will leave your life during your first year of college. accept that.
7. The line, "Hey my roommate is gone for the weekend." is never just casually thrown out there. its got a purpose. recognize that.
8. Appreciate your hometown for what it gave you...don't depend on it for the rest of your life.
9. Halloween and St. Patrick's day are the 2 biggest holidays for college students. why? because both days you can dress crazy (for guys) and slutty (for girls) and no one questions you. These are also the days that everyone is drunk by 3 pm.
10. If there is a football game at 1 pm it is acceptable to wake up and begin drinking at 9 am.
11. Never register for an 8am class. just don't do it. no matter what the class is, no matter how much you need that credit. you can always take that class next semester when the time changes.
12. Even though no one just walks into your room when you are just sitting at your computer....someone will, without a doubt, barge in when you are getting ready in your underwear. its a fact of life.
13. Beware of the R.As.
14. It doesn't matter how good the food seems at the cafeteria those first couple months. By spring you'll be dragging yourself there to choke down some random casserole just to use up your meal plan.
15. Freshman 15 is a disgusting reality. you should probly go do something active or you may have to get a new wardrobe by summer.
16. If you are hanging out with a guy and he asks, "So you're 18, right??"...WALK AWAY.
17. you might get a super crappy roommate. bummer for you.
18. Sometimes classes are up 6 flights of stairs and when you're at the bottom of those stairs you feel like you'll never make it. you can do it!!
19. Your high school friends were there for you through your awkward stage, your first boyfriend, first kiss, fights with parents and some of the best memories you'll ever make. They will also be there for your crazy party stories, new boyfriend, embarassing hook up, more fights with parents and amazing new memories over breaks. Don't forget them in this whirlwind of new experiences.

20. People are going to remember all those stupid things you did that night when you were drunk (or sober), whether you remember or not. Heck, they probably have pictures and are most likely going to talk about it, so learn to laugh at yourself.
21. No matter how "mature" you are, you will find humor is the dumbest and simpliest things at 3 am (or pm, for that matter).
22. You no long have to be the best, only be YOUR best.
23. Mail brightens everyone's day, no matter if it is junk or real. |
