I do not miss . . . wondering if I would get asked to the "insert fraternity here", " insert fraternity party here" (i.e. EX derby days date party)
I do not miss . . . not making any money but wanting everything.
I do not miss . . . having all of the time in the world but not knowing to appreciate it.
I do not miss. . . being single.
I do not miss. . . dorm rooms . . . I do miss the chapter room.
I do not miss . . . "Power hungry professors." I mean come on give me the homework and back off. I didn't enjoy the unnecessary pressure of some lame paper just to prove that I could finish something. . . I guess that doesn't explain my disdain appropriately but you might know what I mean.
I do miss - spell check yea why doesnt greekchat have spell check.

-trying to find a date for the formal
-seeing someone on campus wearing my clothes (we left doors unlocked so your closet was up for grabs)
-electing new officers (too uncomfortable trying to pick between sisters)

But...I'd do it all over again in a New York minute!!! :)

I don't missed shared showers and having to wear shower shoes

1. Being hungry or broke or both most of the time.
2. Roommates who talk on the phone all night when you have a class at 7:45 am.
3. Classes that start at 7:45 am that you have to take becuase you need the credits.
4. Band practices where you have to crab walk, run around the University at 5 am in the morning, or practice/ march in 95 degree heat.
5. Drunk roommates who throw up all over the floor.
6. Loooooooooooong registration lines.
7. Nasty cafeteria food.
8. Working in the cafe so you get to see what they put IN the NASTY cafeteria food.
9. I also hated shower shoes & sharing showers with other women.
10. PANTY RAIDS (but our retaliation JOCKEY raids were fun, though :D ).

I suppose the thing I don't miss was the ever recurring question of whether my BAC or my GPA would be higher for the semester.

Actually, I miss nothing, wish I was still there.

Early riser, had all classes in the AM! Started a Local that took a lot of time and fun to do and be with My Brothers.

But, in to days economy, the costs are going up and is harder to keep up even though money was tough back when. Hell, I worked in a dorm washing, waxing and polishing floors, but used it to keep My dancing skills up!:D

Law class was another situation. But dringking with Profs and flying with one. Good Times.:cool:

Hell, even ate well, not dorm food visa a vi! We cooked, boy did We cook! Oh, food to!;)

Advice, stay in school, I did until I got Married!:mad:

Ahhhhhh. I thought babysitting business was a reference to you being a fraternity officer ;)

I do not miss:

Drama
crappy roommates/suitmates
nothing to do during the summer (went to school in a small town)
expensive parking passes

*My housemates getting drunk and watching movies in the common room right outside my room at 4:00am when I have class at 9:30.
*Monday night meetings.
*Housemates leaving dirty dishes in the sink for about a week.

I lived at home during my UF years, so my situation is somewhat different than that of many others here.

- Campus parking. The high cost of decals. How hard it was to find a spot. How much I had to still walk to class in the scorching sun. Looooong lines for purchasing decals. You name it.

- My college did not offer just plain a biology major. So while most of my major changes involved biology, the final result was still not quite right for me.

- Mean supervisor in one lab I worked at.

- Many of the bad memories I have about college involve unsupportive people in a certain non-Greek organization I belonged to. So they are not really related to the college per se.

~my roomie having sex in the bunk above me and her bottle of KY falling on my head (no joke)
~intervisitation rules
~parking parking parking
~shared showers with clogged drains
~No air conditioning in 99% of the dorms on campus (there was one freshman and one upperclassman hall with air, so most of us got the dorm with air..)
