College Knowledge
1. Buy a Razor Scooter. And make your friends get one, too.
2. Keep an old sleeping bag in your car. Makes for a good blanket any time of day.
3. Drink coffee. If you don't like coffee, learn to like it. It's worth it.
4. Buy a coffee maker, and, most importantly, learn how to use it correctly.
5. Invest in a road bike. You look cooler and they go faster.
6. Become an expert on some TV sitcom. You'll meet someone with the same passion, and you'll instantly be best friends.
7. Hot pockets are delicious... And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
8. Go to Smith Rock State Park. At least once. It's beautiful. Oh, and make someone take you climbing.
9. Reread Harry Potter. If you never read them as a child, find out what you've been missing.
10. Get involved in some on-campus group or club. You'll quickly find that there are lots of people with weird interests... Just like you.
11. Bunk beds are one of the best space savers ever.
12. Never underestimate the power of candles and air fresheners--A college household necessity.
13. You can put anything in pancakes. Bacon, raspberries, Charleston Chews, etc. Seriously.
14. Don't eat too much Ramen.
15. Expired milk is usually OK. Usually...
16. Find out where your local Applebee's is. Half-priced appetizers after 9:00 p.m. if you buy a drink. Best. Deal. Ever.
17. Never take an 8 a.m. class during winter term. Bad things happen.
18. You'll end up spending most of your time doing stuff like this:
Don't worry. This kind of behavior is encouraged.
19. Invest in a box of Otter Pops. Seriously, it's only $3 and you get 100.
20. Learn how to Slack line. If you don't know what that is, look it up.
21. Make forts. At least once a term.
22. Avocados go good with every thing. Every. Thing.
23. Don't take life too seriously. It's not like you're getting educated for your future or anything like that...
24. Don't freak out if you change majors. It's better to be more well-rounded.
25. Buy a giant stuffed bear from Costco. Trust me.
Well, that's it for now! Thanks to all my friends, past roommates, and co-workers for inspiring my list. I'm sure it will grow as I finish my last two terms of college.
Yay!
