In college...

Inspired by Chris' mumbling about things she has learned this school year, I present a list of things I have learned in college.

Things I have learned in College
  1. Pay attention in class
  2. ...but only if there's something relevant going on.
  3. Do not compare your professors to Muppets or Disney characters unless you are certain you can muffle your laughter. 
  4. Do not question why your Iranian professor seems to have a Russian accent.
  5. Don't let the idiot have the lighter in Chem lab.
  6. You can have Oreos for breakfast. 
  7. Don't have Oreos for breakfast. 
  8. The heat will not be turned on until after the first miserable cold snap, and it will be turned off the week before unseasonably cold weather. 
  9. Double-layered shower curtains are the devil.
  10. Do not leave rubber bath mats folded up in the corner of the shower for months on end. 
  11. Clorox + Black mildew/mold/whatever it was = LOTS of blue foam.
  12. Do dishes regularly.
  13. Wet leaves are slippery. 
  14. The people in D patio apparently have interesting sex lives. 
  15. Guitar practice should not take place after 10pm unless you are playing quiet songs and you are good at it. 
  16. Smoking in a dorm room + shared vents = pissed off me
  17. Wet bike seats suck.
  18. Get to meals and lectures early. 
  19. Always have an extra Scantron on hand. 
  20. DO NOT LOSE YOUR ID
  21. Try not to lock yourself out too often. After the third time, they start charging you. 
  22. Check your mail often. 
  23. At least once a month, clean like a mad person. 
  24. The cafeteria food isn't as bad as you think. 
  25. Carry more than one pen and pencil. Trust me.
  26. Always look at the door handle or railing before you touch it.
  27. Seriously. ALWAYS.
