Ten Things I Learned In My 1st Semester of College

May 5th, 2008 at 10:49 am by --KALEB NATION--

  1. Youtube is better, cleaner and cheaper than $120-a-month cable.
  2. Don’t take your roommate’s trash out because of the flies, or you’ll be doing it all semester.
  3. Do not ride your bike to class if it is within walking distance.
  4. Kitchen knives are wonderful for picklocking.
  5. Two hangers wired together with a loop on the end, passed under a door, are wonderful for picklocking.
  6. Before class, no matter what you’re talking about, somehow they’ll turn the conversation to illegal drugs.
  7. When someone calls you with a book deal, you’re excused from being late for class.
  8. Writing your name on your food in the freezer does not secure it from the Midnight Snacker Bandits.
  9. Pizza contains all the basic food groups.
  10. Watch out for Southern Belles
