So now that my first semester in college has come to an end, it's time to look back and review the points made in a Facebook group, entitled "40 Things College Admissions Forgot to Tell You About College." I will list out each point, then follow it with commentary.
1. Quarters are like gold. [Maybe for laundry, but then I have a discretionary account, so maybe not]
2. Two meals a day is standard. [True. No breakfast ftl]
3. Road trip whenever possible. [If parking weren't so dang expensive]
4. Going to the mailbox was never an ego booster/breaker before. [Might have been true, except I always kept forgetting to check my mail]
5. You will begin to nap again. [SO TRUE]
6. Your bookstore bill will almost equal tuition. [Not possible at USC]
7. Squirt guns = stress relief. [Squirt guns = $300 suite repair fee. however, airsoft guns + laser pointers = stress relief]
8. E-mail becomes your second language. [True I suppose, but it's always my second language]
9. College students throw paper airplanes too. [Yeah I've seen my suitemates do it...]
10. You never realized so many people were smarter than you. [Except I went to Whitney High School...]
11. Western Europe could be wiped out by a horrible plague and you'd never know, but you can recite last week's rerun of Seinfeld verbatim. [Insert Scrubs in place of Seinfeld, then YES that would be true]
12. You will never rent more movies in your life. [Hehehe...]
13. No one is too old for video games. [TOO TRUE. Stupid N64 during finals week...]
14. The health service nurses are there because they couldn't make it in a real hospital. Never, ever forget that! [Good thing I haven't been sick yet]
15. Care packages are right up there with birthdays. [I haven't experienced it yet, but I've definitely seen it with my out-of-state friends]
16. Campus is only clean for family weekend and freshman orientation. [HAHA that's funny, but USC is generally a clean campus. Except for that horrific stench surrounding The Lot]
17. It never sucked so much to get sick. [Good thing I've never gotten sick! YEEE]
18. Nothing you want to register for will be open. [True, but only because Admissions accidentally put my account on restriction -_-]
19. Beware of the freshman 15. [Me? Yeah right]
20. Be creative in the dining hall. [Mixing drinks ftw!]
21. Classes: the later the better. [Very true. Stupid 8am Bio labs]

23. Disney movies are more than just classics. [I guess...]
24. Asleep by 2:30 AM is an early night. [TOO TRUE]
25. Cereal makes a meal any time of the day. [I should open my cereal boxes...]
26. New additions to food groups: Jolt Cola, Ramen, and Pizza. [All except Jolt Cola]
27. ATMs are the devils advocate. [Sigh...]
28. Duct tape heals all wounds. [Especially my longboard!]
29. Pro Wrestling is suddenly cool again. [When was this list written? The late 90s?]
30. Keys have never been so important, yet you seem to lose them even more. [Thank goodness I always remember]
31. Showers become less important, sleep becomes more important. [Agree with the 2nd part, but I still take my showers]
32. You will eat anywhere that is a buffet. [That's usually the only choice most nights]
33. You realize college is the ideal lifestyle, except for those pesky classes. [So true]
