• Highlighters become the coolest thing on earth


Before I Came To College I Wish I Had Known That…
• I could change so much and barely realize it
• You can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways
• No matter how ‘cool’ you were in High School, no one here cares
• Every clock on campus shows a different time
• Even if you were smart in High School, you’re NOT here
• You can know everything and fail a test
• You can know nothing and ace a test
• Most of my education would be obtained outside of class

• Psychology is really Biology. Biology is really Chemistry, Chemistry is really Physics. And Physics is really Math.
• It’s possible to be alone even when people surround you
• Friends are what make this place worthwhile!

Share with your friends, because without friends, college is prison.
