1. You know your social circle's schedule by heart.
No need to worry about who you'll have lunch with and when, because you've memorized everyone's schedule.
2. Subsequently, you've also memorized your crush's schedule.
"OMG! I had NO idea you would be eating lunch at 11:45 today!" (Like he does every single day of the week.) Act surprised to "run into him," but don't be too obvious. Also, this could be considered stalking to some, but ignore the haters.
3. You know everything about everyone.
Like, everything. Middle name? Check. Hometown? Check. Major? Check. It's not that I don't want to hear about your second cousin's family barbecue this weekend, it's just I don't want to hear about it.
4. If you ever decide to skip a class, you end up seeing the professor that day.
Usually what happens is that after you send that email about "feeling under the weather," you end up seeing the professor at lunch. And you look fine. *feigns cough*
5. Every potential for a date party is either not single or going with someone else.
This is why at small schools girls ask guys like a billion months in advance. All of the nice, fun dates get taken fast. You've been warned, ladies.
6. Subsequently, you see that terrible date everywhere.
This one has to be the worst. Remember freshman year and that guy that ended up being an awful date? Well, you basically see him everyday on campus. Tip: When you see him walking your way on campus, pretend to be on the phone. This may seem a little suspicious after four or five times, but stay committed to it...believe me.
7. A late-night coffee run means seeing everyone on campus.
Like, all 300 people. And you look like you've just rolled out of bed, because well, you have. Based on personal experience, people will be so alarmed at your outward appearance that they will skip the usual small talk.
8. You end up making the best friends you could've ever imagined.
Despite the awkward run-ins, stalking tendencies, and the fact that everyone knows your business, you actually come to appreciate all of these things about your college. By the far, the best part is the friendships you develop.
