Like most kids that grew up in the 2000's, I loved "Zoey 101." However, it wasn't until I went to college that I realized how much I had hung on to every insight that the teen sitcom portrayed. I had never lived away from home, shared a room with a roommate, or even had to share a bathroom for an extended period of time. Luckily, I generally knew what to expect, thanks to "Zoey 101."

1. It's okay to be different than your roommates.

I'm an only child and have never had to share a room with anyone for more than a week before I went to college. I was so nervous and afraid that they wouldn't like me (still partially afraid that they don't) or that we wouldn't be a good match. However, "Zoey 101" taught me that that's okay. Your roommates are different from you? So what? Your differences don't matter nearly as much as your similarities. And despite how different my roommates and I were, I still grew to love them very much.

2. When you're angry about one thing, you're suddenly angry about everything.

At college, you're under a lot more stress than you were in high school. There's new friends, classes, work, roommates -- it really builds up. It's really easy to get moody this way, and if one little thing goes wrong, you're angry about all of it. Really, that's okay. And you can get through it. It'll be excruciating, but you'll get through it.

3. You crave being a kid again.

Once you move away from home, you start to revert back to behaviors from your childhood. Cartoons in bed, excessively eating sweets, staying up way later than you should, etc. The best part is that you're in charge of yourself at college, so acting like a kid has nearly no consequences.

4. Your Residence Assistants are not your parents.

The RA's are people, too. A lot of the times they are students, just like you, that probably have no idea what they're doing. You don't have to rely on them for everything, and you should learn how to handle some things on your own. They're there for emergencies, and hopefully they'll be able to help you then.

5. College homework can be really annoying.

I think that when professors sit down to do their syllabus, they make a list of activities a person might be able to accomplish in about five years. Then, they make sure each of their students accomplishes everything in a period of 4 months.

6. You will meet some of the best friends of your life at college.

In college, you have a lot more control over who you want to be friends with, spend your time with, and get close to. It's so easy to find a group of friends that are the right fit for you. They'll make you see all of the things that you can be.
