There are many things new things each college student learns during their time in college. Here are a few I have learned over my couple years in college this far.
Going to office hours is very helpful and it might be hard to find the office in which you are trying to go to the office hours in.
There is a lot of walking. Or running, if you're late to class.
You can make anything a meal.
It is perfectly acceptable to eat a snack in class. If you consume a whole meal though, you may get some funny looks.
If you are going to sit on your computer or any electronic device for the whole class period, try to sit in the back so everyone behind you is not distracted by your screen.
Registering for classes is basically like a fight to the death battle with all the rest of the students.
Everyone is doing their own thing, so make sure you do yours.
The walls of the dorm buildings are very thin.
Don't tell yourself that you will do something "over break." You know darn well that won't happen and instead you'll spend it sleeping, eating, or catching up on 12 seasons of "Grey's Anatomy."
Take time for yourself.
Greek life is one of the best things you can join in college.
Who real friends are and why they become so important to you.
How to cook?
How to be independent and be able to do things for yourself and not rely on anyone else.
There are always free T-shirts. Look around at all those groups and organizations tabling.
Never pay full price for a textbook.
For some odd reason, all major projects, tests, assignments will be due on or around the same day. Plan ahead.
You will be unsure of your major at some moments, and you may change it a million times, that's okay, you do what you feel is best.
Triple check your alarm the night before your big test. You don't want to be the person who misses a test because your alarm did not go off.
Sleep is very important. So is showering.
And getting ready in 10 minutes is doable.
The campus printers always break down or run out of paper when you are in desperate need of them.
You spend way too much time pondering life thoughts about why there is still not a box of Lucky Charms with only marshmallows.
You learn how important your dog is to you.
Mexican food is always a must.
