Welcome to college
life! There are a few differences from high school
that you need to know...
In high
school, you do homework. In college, you study.
No food is allowed
in the hall in high school. In college, food must
be provided at an event before
students
will come.
In high school, you wear your backpack on one shoulder;
in college, on both.
In college, the
professors can tell you the answer without looking
at the teacher's guide.
In college, there are no bells or tardy slips.
In high school, you have to live with your parents.
In college, you get to live with your friends.
In college, you don't have to wait in a certain
lunch line to be cool.
In high school, you're told what classes to take.
In college, you get to choose; that is, as long
as the
classes don't conflict and you have the prerequisites
and the classes aren't closed and you've paid your
tuition.
In high school, if you screw up you can usually sweet-talk
your way out of it. In college, you're lucky to ever
talk with the professor.
In high school, fire drills are planned by the administration;
in college, by the drunk frat boys on their way home
when the bars close.
In college, any test consists of a larger percentage
of your grade than your high school final exams ever
did.
In college, it's much more difficult to figure out the
course schedule of the man/woman you have a crush on,
in order to figure out where he/she will be walking around
campus and at what time to find them there.
Once you've obtained the information described
above, it's much more time-consuming to
run between classes
to that place where you know he/she will be in order
to "just happen to bump into him/her."
In
high school, when the teacher said, "Good morning," you
mumbled back. In college, when the professor says, "Good
morning," you write it down.
In high school, freshman guys hit on senior girls.
In college, senior guys hit on freshman girls.
In college, weekends start on Thursday.
In college, there's no one to tell you not to eat pizza
three meals a day.
In college, your dad doesn't pay for dates.
In high school, it never took 3 or 4 weeks to get
money from Mom and Dad.
College men are cuter than high school boys.
