You meet the type of people you only thought existed in the movies. You learn to sleep with light, noise, extreme temps, and roommates snoring. You don't have to cover your textbooks anymore. You live for chicken finger day at the cafeteria. You begin to realize that college is about the ideal lifestyle, except for those pesky classes.
