17 Things I Have Learned Since Starting College

Let's get to it:

1. A gardening hoe is considered a weapon; therefore, do not bring one to school.
2. You can carry around plants, though. Plants make for excellent conversation starters and you will make friends that way, if in no other.
3. People are very friendly (I love it). 
4. People are not so friendly in the parking lot. It's survival of the fittest there.
5. There will be classes that are too easy for you.
6. Derivatives are actually satan.
7. Being awkwardly funny is suddenly a good thing. 
8. Cafeteria food still sucks.
9. The coffee is alright, though.
10. People do not dress any better than they did in high school. But that's okay. If you, like me, are someone who likes to get a bit fancy just for school, then go for it.
11. Some of the most interesting people are the older ones. I met a hilarious guy named Bob who, upon introduction, said, "That's Bob with one o, not two." 
12. You will blow cash on food and you should just accept it. Impromptu wing or burger runs will become a thing.
13. People actually study. A lot. I've always studied a lot, but now it's like everyone else's nerd level and mine are leveling out.
14. People don't group off. Everyone can be your friend and you can be anyone's friend.
15. Some profs are plain rude. Not fake rude or joking rude, just rude.
16. Most professors are very kind and interesting people, though.
17. Not doing an assignment will make you feel ashamed of yourself and you will want to crawl in a hole and stay awhile.
