By now, I'm sure you've watched every one movie that attempts to depict college. You've probably interrogated your older friends and browsed every tab of the college or university you plan on attending. Although you have probably heard a lot of great stuff, the truth is: most of it just isn't true. Here are 10 lies you've heard about college:

1. You'll go out every night

Probably every college student you've ever asked will tell you how crazy and wild their lives are. You've probably heard hundreds of stories that sound too good to be true, and that's because they are. Sure, you'll go out. But in no way will you have enough time to go out every night.

2. You'll meet the love of your life

You'll have more than enough people to date, and trust me, you will date them. Sometimes it will seem like you've met the love of your life, but honestly, college is a time to focus on yourself. Have fun and don't swear off dating because you're waiting for Mr. Right.

3. You'll meet your best friend

A lot of people do meet some of their best friends in college, but that doesn't mean that they will be your true best friend. Sometimes the bonds you've made before college can withstand the test of time/distance. Make new friends but keep the old.

4. You'll hate your roommate

Living in a small space with someone you just met will definitely cause some friction, however, your roommate becomes your second family in college. They will become he one you tell about your day (even though they don't care), or complain about your classes to. A lot of the time your roommate will act more as your support system than your arch-enemy.

5. You'll gain the freshman 15

Everyone gains weight. That's a fact. But there is no rule that says you are obligated to gain weight. Eat what you want, and exercise when you want. You're in control of your body and can make it look however you want it to look.

6. Freshman dorms suck

Okay, I'm not going to lie, the size isn't the best. Neither are the beds. However, it's kind of awesome getting to live with a hundred other students who are going through exactly what you are going through. Make friends with your neighbors.

7. College isn't that much harder than high school

Anyone who tells you this is lying. College is hard, but in different ways. College is hard because you are officially in charge of yourself. No one is going to tell you when to do your homework, when to go to class, or when to wash your clothes. It's all up to you, and self-motivation is not as easy as you think.

8. There is always something to do

Okay, there might always be something going on, but that is if you're interested in attending a party of four people getting drunk on a Tuesday night. Sometimes it is a better(and much more fun) idea to just stay in bed.

9. You won't get addicted to caffeine

Yes. You. Will. Even if you don't drink coffee you'll find yourself guzzling down an energy drink, or two, every few days.

10. College should be the best time of your life

Like anything in life, you'll get out of college whatever you put into it. Work hard, study hard, party hard. Do what you want to do and use these four years to grow into a person that you will be happy with.
