Before I came to college I wish I had known…

• that it didnt matter how late I scheduled my first class Id 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 youre 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 chem labs require more time than all my other classes put together.
• that you can know everything and fail a test.
• that you can know nothing and ace a test.
• that I could get used to almost anything I found out about my roomie.
• that home is a great place to visit.
• 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 Sunday is a figment of the worlds imagination.
• that psychology is really biology, biology is really chemistry, chemistry is really physics, and physics is really math.
• that I really wouldnt 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.
• that Ramen and spaghetti would be my life.
• how much I would miss my washer and dryer at home.
• that I would no longer get allowance.

Thanx to William Conway.
