Before I Came to College, I Wish I had Known . . .
that it didn't matter how late I scheduled my first class, I'd sleep right >through it
that I would change so much and barely realize it
that you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways
that college kids throw airplanes, too
that if you wear polyester everyone will ask you why you're so dressed up
that every clock on campus shows a different time
that if you were smart in high school - so what?
that I would go to a party the night before a final
that you can know everything and yet fail a test
that you can know nothing and ace a test
that most of my education would be obtained outside my classes
that friendship is more than getting drunk together
that I would be one of those people my parents warned me about
that free food served at 10:00 is gone by 9:50
that psychology is really biology, biology is really chemistry, chemistry is really physics, and physics is really math
that I really wouldn't be with that high school (boy/girl)friend for the rest of my life
that dorms can be both your lifeline and personal hell at the same time
that beer would play an intricate role in my future
how much I would miss my washer and dryer at home
