1. Thursdays begin the weekend.

With a high school weekend, you know that Fridays are the start of all the fun, but in college, Thursday nights are live. Sometimes Thursdays even get more action than those Saturday nights you were used to.

2.Clothes are worn much longer than you would expect.

Two days is below average for re-wearing a pair of jeans and the list of items you'll re-wear goes much past that...actually...

3. All around cleanliness.

You'll rinse out bowls and avoid soap just for the convenience.

4. Sleep habits change...

...regardless of your night-owl patterns or your morning-bird habits. Sometimes this will be influenced by your roommate, or the noise on the floor, or even just your schedule. You'll cherish naps and sleep whenever you can.

5. You don't eat on schedule and everyday, which can be surprisingly different.

Craving for late night food is something everyone develops. And hangover foods midday are splendid.

6. Hanging out with friends is different.

Just doing homework on a bed and not talking is normal.

7. You check your email too much.

There’s a chaaaance that class will get cancelled. Right? Right?

8. Ramen is considered fancy.

Anything you don't have to leave your room for and can make at any time and state is better than something the cafeteria could make.

9. You learn that missing anything is possible.

Not just your dog and your bed, but that Chapstick you left behind, or those shoes you never wear. Leaving all your options behind never gets easy.
