Thirteen lessons from college

Thirteen Things I Learned in College

1. Don’t wear white shoes to a basement party, or anything white for that matter.
2. Make sure your first roommate is a freshman like you and not a sophomore sorority girl.
3. Do not call your mother at 1:30 in the morning drunk and tell her “I don’t feel so good.”
4. Keep an eye on the laundry you are doing because it might get stolen.
5. Try not to go to bed too early because you end up missing a lot.
6. Take advantage of going to class in your pajamas, you’ll never get to do that again in life.
7. Take advantage of having friends living no more than 5 minutes away from you, you may not have that again until you’re in a nursing home.
8. Do. Not. Date. Frat boys. Or at least don’t date more than one from a fraternity and definitely not as a freshman.
9. The red punch at parties is not as innocent as it seems.
10. They DO check all the rooms during a fire alarm so don’t stay in the room just because you have a guy over
11. Keep an emergency pile of things (sweatshirt, book, homework, etc.) for the late night fire alarms.
12. Do not, I repeat DO NOT mix alcohol and beer. The saying “liquor before beer in the clear, beer before liquor never sicker” was created for a reason.
13. It’s the Domino’s pizza and breadsticks at 2am not the beer that you gain the freshman fifteen.
