- Toothpaste/shampoo/conditioner/EVERYTHING lasts much, much longer when not shared between three sisters.
- Just because they keep the ice cream machine turned on at breakfast, doesn't necessarily mean that you should use it then.
- However, bagels with lox make wonderful breakfasts.
- Writing two papers in one weekend isn't nearly as hard as people make it out to be... If you're a robot.
- Functioning on three to four hours of sleep is no longer impossible... Quite the opposite, actually... It's the norm.
- Practice rooms have become my best friend.
- It's obviously a miracle that with four girls all sharing the same bathroom, there are absolutely NO fights whatsoever about who showers when or who is taking too long... It's WONDERFUL!
- While it's nice to not wake up and find a mess left by chinchillas, you definitely miss them when you wake up in the middle of the night and now there's no one to talk to.
- When you're not feeling well, there's no big lump of fur to come and set her forty-pound body on you as if she's some sort of lap dog.
- The convenience store on campus is misleading... I see nothing convenient about paying $6 for a box of Wheat Thins.
- Between jazz band, concert band, classes, homework and quintet practices, you fall to your knees in praise when you find enough time to squeeze in three meals in one day.
- Ramen is now a swear word. (Kevin and Maegan disagree.)
- Living with all the kids in your Seminar class is an interesting experience... Mostly for the better... but occasionally for the worse.
- Being able to hang out at places other than campus? Yeah, I miss that.
- I've learned what vacuums are for... and I really wish I had one.
- If your RA is cool, you can get away with a lot of stuff... so long as you let her have rice whenever you cook it inside your room.
- E-mailing your professors to do a little bit of schmoozing goes a long way!
- When one of your professors says "C's get degrees... So practice your ass off and do your homework later", take that sort of advice with a grain of salt.
- Having a Mac is considerably less convenient when everyone else on campus with a printer runs PC, so you have to go all the way to the Mac Lab in the library basement to print out your papers.
- Getting the mail will never, EVER be quite as exciting as it is in college... After all, after college, odds are my mailbox won't be full of cookies every time I check it...
