BEFORE I CAME TO COLLEGE I WISH I HAD KNOWN…
– that it didn’t matter how late I scheduled my first class I’d
sleep right through it.
– that I would change so much and barely realize it.
– that you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
– that college kids throw airplanes, too.
– that if you wear polyester everyone will ask you why you’re so
dressed up.
– that every clock on campus shows a different time.
– that if you were smart in highschool – so what?
– that I would go to a party the night before a final.
– that chem labs require more time than all my other classes put
together.
– that you can know everything and fail a test.
– that you can know nothing and ace a test.
– that I could get used to almost anything I found out about my
roomie.
– that home is a great place to visit.
– that most of my education would be obtained outside my classes.
– that friendship is more than getting drunk together.
– that I would be one of those people my parents warned me about.
– that free food served at 10:00 is gone by 9:50.
– that Sunday is a figment of the world’s imagination.
– that psychology is really biology, biology is really
chemistry, chemistry is really physics, and physics is really
math.
– that it is a really good idea to go places alone.
– that it’s possible to be alone even when you’re surrounded by
friends.
– that friends are what makes this place worthwhile!
– don’t be dismayed at goodbyes.
– a farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting
again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are
friends.
