college surprises

10 things nobody bothers to warn you about before you go to college (at least nobody warned me anyways):
1. it takes surprising diligence and effort to keep your kitchen counters clean
2. cheese is expensive!
3. it's impossible to have good grades, a social life, and  sleep. choose two and enjoy!
4. cooking is a lot harder than it looks
5. some classes are designed so a certain amount of students have to fail. this is called cruel and unusual teaching methodology 
6. the first thing people notice about you isn't your face, it's your hand. your left hand. specifically your ring finger
7. electricity costs money?! say what?
8. taking a nap under a tree or in the library is acceptable and encouraged
9.  you miss your family a lot more than you think you will
10. you work towards college your whole life, but once you get into college, it's not the end... it's only the beginning!! now what?
