At college, I've learned quite a bit.
1. College ID.
If you leave you're room with anything, it's best to make your swipe be that one thing. Trust me, it's just a whole lot easier. It's your lifeline. Don't lose it, break it, or leave it behind. #SwipeIsEverything #NoSwipeLeftBehind.
2. Laundry
Make sure you're on top of when your clothes come in and out of the washer and dryer. Story time, I did my laundry on Saturday then forgot about it until Sunday night...and, well, it was the last time I did that! Each one of the clothes were intricately knotted together. #LearnFromMe #SetATimer. Don't fool yourself into thinking that the laundry room will be less crowded the later at night you go because then you'll wind up folding laundry at 1:30 in the morning. #TrustMe.
3.Shuttles
Just beware. It almost feels like when you need a shuttle, each one is going to the same exact place and of course, it's not the place you need to go to. #StartWalking. Don't get me wrong, if you have some time to kill then the shuttles are fantastic. OH, and if you accidentally leave something on the shuttle, it's over.
4. Dining Halls
After going to the same dining hall each night freshmen year [s/o to Boulder], I was so happy to move on to the second one across campus, closer to where I lived. Then I soon realized the second one was worse than Boulder and I wished, so badly, for those freshmen days at Boulder. Don't take the dining options for granted. #BoulderBlessed
5. Wifi
Don't expect to be connected to wifi for more than about a half hour without having to change it to the guest wifi or something. This also might just be me because I don't know how to deal with technology.
6. Take out food.
Caution: take out food can be as addicting as ramen noodles or peanut butter and goldfish. Especially when it's Chinese take-out. #YouHaveBeenWarned
7. Class
You don't have to get to class 15/20 minutes earlier. Spend those extra 10/15 minutes grabbing breakfast, it's better #CafeteriaBreakfastBurrito #OhSnap. Also, if you are worried about maybe embarrassing yourself in class, don't be, it happens to the best of us. Pinky Promise.
8. Gym.
If you haven't been to the gym in a while and know that you'll be suffering through your workout, then go to the top part of the gym where its less crowded if you don't want anyone to see the pure pain you're in. #MyLife. #FirstHandKnowledge.
9. Nighttime
When you go off campus at night, have a good friend that will have your back with you. Most of all, do what you want to do.
