Things that Change When You Go to College

·     --You have an undying loyalty to this place where you are going to spend the best four years of your life like nothing else.

·      --Your wardrobe gets a severe injection of your college’s colors.

·      --Shameless repping.

·      --You and your family may be caught all wearing some of your university’s swag. At the same time. On multiple occasions. In public.

·     --You live this weird “double life” – your home life and your school life. You have to adapt back and forth between two extremely different lifestyles and people.

·      --Your appreciation for privacy increases. In a dorm, you are never truly alone. EVER.

·      --Sleep is always the best way to spend free time…

·      --… but free time doesn’t exist. You thought you were busy in high school, until you got to college.

·      --The concept of sleeping in public is completely normal. Everybody has their favorite snooze spot on campus.

·      --All the time in your day (besides class) is yours, and it is up to you to choose how you are going to use it.

·      --2am calzones are always a good idea.  

 

·      --People do not care what you wear. Seriously, experiment all you want. There are so many different styles out there and I am constantly inspired.

·     --You realize home-cooked food is a luxury. Before it was okay, but now it is a delicacy.

·      --Everyone is struggling. Even the people you think are put-together.

·      --Everyone is also doing a million and five things all the time, just like you.

·      --You realize your family is actually pretty cool. And normal.

·      --You become so much more tolerant of other people and see the world completely differently.

·      --You realize how lucky you are for what you have.

I love my school- Some of my friends and I at the Homecoming game last fall
