1. You'll want to sleep through your first class, no matter how late you schedule it. 11:30pm Spanish...but my pillow's so cozy.
2. Having Cheetos and Diet Coke for dinner gets old faster than you may imagine.
3. Not every guy is drop dead gorgeous, spouting Plato and President of his kickass frat and not every girl is in a sorority, with a high ponytail, desperate to tutor you in Anatomy.
4. You can go out on a school night...no one's stopping you.
5. Being homesick is natural. Even the more independent looking kid on your hall is pining home for Mom behind closed doors.
6. You can study really hard and still fail the test.
7. You can get along with any roommate...if you try hard enough.
8. No one really cares if you were editor of the newspaper or vice-president of your senior class.
9. Friendships come from anywhere...don't just rely on your dorm.
10. You can feel lonely even if you're surrounded by people.
