It didn’t take me long to realize that living in a dorm and being in college is way different then living in the comfort of your own home. Some things I have noticed from just being here a month are that:
You are almost always never alone,
No matter how hard you try your room never stays clean,
Your bed probably will only be made once or twice a week,
Your trash can will be perpetually full,
You will go through water like its oxygen,
You will always have something that you should be studying for,
You will realize how easy high school really was,
You will begin to hate do laundry and you will let it sit in your room until you have nothing left to wear,
Facebook will become your new best friend,
You will start to get used to walking all the way down the hallway just to go to the bathroom,
you will re-read the paper posted on the bathroom door every time you go in there and every time it will be just as interesting as the first,
Although you thought they were amazing at first you will get sick of the dining courts,
you will make tons of new friends,
You’ll get excited when someone writes a new message on your dry erase board,
You will be surprised at how fast the Jimmy Johns man can bike to your dorm,
You will hate walking to class in the rain,
You will become best friends with the people that live in the rooms around you,
You will spill things on your carpet and not clean it up for a couple days,
Thursday nights will become part of the weekend,
You will never go anywhere without your cell phone,
You will feel as though some people in the dorm never go to sleep,
You will think futons are extremely comfortable,
You will realize how broke you are,
You will love getting things in the mail,
Fans will become your new air conditioning,
You will nap more then you did in Kindergarten,
You will spend ten minutes looking for your toothbrush and realize you left it in the bathroom,
You’ll miss having the mall less then five minuets away with stores you actually like,
You will miss real food,
You will miss your car,
You will miss your dog,
You will miss being able to shower without having to wear sandals,
You will miss going high school football games,
You will actually like talking to your parents on the phone,
You will consider wearing a t shirt to class dressing up,
You will always have something to do on weekends,
You will get really sick of Easy Mac,
You will find it to hard study in your room because there will always be something to distract you,
You will decide you are going to start liking coffee

Nice post. I really liked it, and pretty much all of the things applied to me (except for no air conditioning, go Shreve!). You forgot to add you will realize your high school campus really wasn't that big.

I think that was a great post. I really like the way you did. Maybe most people don't think this way, but I saw it as a Top Ten Ways You Know... Joke, the type of jokes that made Jeff Foxworhty famous, and I really love those. Basically I think It was a great post.
