If I only knew...

BEFORE I CAME TO COLLEGE I WISH I HAD KNOWN...


- that it didn't matter how late I scheduled my first class I'd
sleep right through it.


- that I would change so much and barely realize it.


- that you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.


- that college kids throw airplanes, too.


- that if you wear polyester everyone will ask you why you're so
dressed up.


- that every clock on campus shows a different time.


- that if you were smart in highschool - so what?


- that I would go to a party the night before a final.


- that chem labs require more time than all my other classes put
together.


- that you can know everything and fail a test.


- that you can know nothing and ace a test.


- that I could get used to almost anything I found out about my
roomie.


- that home is a great place to visit.


- that most of my education would be obtained outside my classes.


- that friendship is more than getting drunk together.


- that I would be one of those people my parents warned me about.


- that free food served at 10:00 is gone by 9:50.


- that Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination.


- that psychology is really biology, biology is really
chemistry, chemistry is really physics, and physics is really
math.


- that it is a really good idea to go places alone.


- that it's possible to be alone even when you're surrounded by
friends.


- that friends are what makes this place worthwhile!


- don't be dismayed at goodbyes.


- a farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting
again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are
friends.
