Things I've Learned So Far in College

It's only been a week and I already feel so much wiser :) Here is my list of funny/serious things I have learned thus far in college:

1. Staying up till 3am when you have a class at 8am is a poor poor choice.
2. Spending the night in another dorm when you have class at 8am is also a poor choice.
3. Not all coffee shops are equal on campus.
4. The worst place to study is your dorm room.
5. Its good to have a snack drawer in your room for when you get hungry but can't make it to the cafeteria for food.
6. It is better to be overly sociable than not social enough.
7. U-locks are way better that the cord bike locks.
8. Pack enough clothes so that you only have to do laundry every two weeks.
9. Shower flip flops are a must unless you're shooting for a foot fungus.
10. Don't slam your dorm room door unless you really want to piss everyone off.
11. Hand soap is just as good as dish soap when it comes to cleaning out water bottles in community bathrooms.
12. Have a velcro strip on your towel (or buy one pre-made) so you can have two free hands on your walk to and from the showers.
13. Join as many clubs or activities as possible to see what you enjoy. This is crucial to "finding yourself" in college and you can always just quit if you don't like what you joined.
14. Ask the kid eating alone to sit with you, they may just turn into your best friend.
15. Bribe your hallmates into becoming your friends by inviting them to watch movies or paint nails with you. You're never gonna make friends sitting alone in your room
16. Stay clean for your roommate. It will prevent a lot of fights and ill feelings towards one another.
17. Never walk in the dark on campus without a buddy. There are tons of creeps out there.
18. Always have pepper spray.
19. The "freshman 15" is avoidable as long as you exercise some self control and just exercise period.
20. Never turn down a free coupon book. seriously.
21. Or free food. ever.
