1. Looking fashionable everyday is extremely exhausting. Especially when you're only getting dressed to go out for 2 hours.
2. A spinoff from the first, wearing good shoes is absolutely necessary. Bought $30 boots, wore them for four days straight, my feet have never been so sore.
3. Cars honk all the time. Sometimes for absolutely no reason. Sometimes because you're crossing the street too slowly. Sometimes in the middle of the night to wake you up...
4. Everything is better with pretty stickers. Except for things that need to look "professional".
5. Writing letters is way more heartfelt than a phone call or a facebook message. But in a pinch, those will do as well.
6. Assigned reading isn't nearly as awful as it would seem. Getting up the energy to get off youtube/hulu/facebook/skype to actually DO the reading is another story...
7. In order to survive, I must sacrifice one of the following: sleep, social life, or good grades. No compromise.
8. Having snacks in the dorm is vital. Personal favorites include sour-patch watermelons, pomegranate limeade, granola bars, and mini chocolate chip cookies.
9. The tourists on the tour buses can see in my third floor window. Best way of dealing with the otherwise awkward, invasive situation: smile and wave fanatically. I like to pretend I'm in a zoo.
And last but not least,
10. Cleaning the hair out of the drain sucks. Even though it's just mine... and my roommate's...
