You know you're in college when...

[LucyKKG]

Ok, you know there are lame/funny things only college students (or maybe those just out of college) will do. What have you got?

You know you're in college when you move empty beer bottles aside to make breakfast.

or when you make hamburger helper without the hamburger.

(Both true for me recently...except I didn't have the necessary milk to make beef stroganoff hamburger helper...)

You know you're in college when you schedule your classes so that you are done by noon on Fridays.

You stop carrying cash because everywhere you eat accepts your stuent ID card for payment.

You skip classes the day before Parents' Weekend so that you can clean it up.

The ATM on campus dispenses in $5 increments (UNC circa 1995, did I just age myself? lol)

The grocery store nearest to you features 20 types of Ramen Noodles but only 5 types of fresh fruit.

When you skip class a lot but come when their are tests and assignments to complete.

When the only thing you care about is the amount of money you get on a refund check.

[libramunoz]

When you know your school's alma mater by heart!

When you look forward to seeing the yearbook to see if you are in it.

When you can get a haircut, a fesh 'do, and a main/pedi for less than $12.

When Wal-Mart becomes the local "hang out"

When you car-pool to get to the bus station/train station/airport to go home for a "break"

When you are "timing the clock" for 10 minutes for a regular teacher and 15 minutes for a professor

When you know 15 ways to save money on washing clothes BEFORE you ACTUALLY have to wash clothes

When you know how to sleep with your eyes open during a boring lecture

When your eyes know how to go back and forth to watch a professor and take notes without ever having to look down on the paper

When you wait until you're a senior to take gym class

(true story not from me)

You know you are in college when your 400 person Monday, Wednesday, Friday class only has 50 people in it on Friday morning.

You know you are in college when your refrigerator has more beer cans than actual food.

You know you are in college when the only thing in your refrigerator other than alcohol is ketchup.

You know you are in college when the main coversation his about parties.

You know you are in college when all your money is spent on books you dont want to read.

[Zephyrus]

When you can get stoned and not get busted.

[deltadevil]

Lol earlier this year I have seen some high school students get busted on high school day for smoking weed. They happened to be from my old high school.

You know you are in college when the male students flirt with the sorority girls more than the cheerleaders.

[epchick]

You know you're in college when see you see the Ramen Cup of Noodles for sale and you buy the whole case.

You know you're in college when you are trading items so that someone else will use their mealcard to pay for your meal.

You know you're in college when even a 10:30am class is hard to wake up for.

You know you're in college when you realize that online classes aren't all they are cracked up to be, nor are they the "easy way" out.

....you spend way too much time at said library.

... your bookshelf (which is made of milk crates) collapses because of all your textbooks.

... you know you'll only get $3.75 for a paperback you spent $22.50 on, but you sell it back anyways because $3.75 is the price of a Long Island.

.... you have to do three loads of laundry: whites, darks, and a seperate load for your school colors.... I have to do a whole seperate load of reds.

Lol!! I remember last semester I had to buy this high price freshmen composition book so by the end of the semester I sold it back because I wanted a little bit of extra cash. Nobody told me that I would need to book for the second part of freshmen composition so I had to go buy the book again. That really pissed me off.

when the storage area becomes a black light smoke lounge
when you split a handle of Pepe Lopez with some one you just me like a week ago and then run around naked on campus
when you somehow don't get arressted for above activities
when you blast sublime at 3 am but your neighbors don't care because they're feeling your vibe
when you wake up, throw up, go to class, ace the quiz, stumble back, call a pledge to clean up your puke, and then threaten to black ball him for making your hang over worse, then you pass out again
when you get threatened with being charged with opperting a night club illegaly but then a home-made wine making explosion happened and the cop thinks its a gun shot and realizes that a fraternity party isn't that big of a deal in the greater scheme of things (the bike was in the tree when we moved in there, I don't know how that's probable cause for anything)
when you promice yourself you'll stop posting on greekchat once you graduate

When you know the exact amount of an extra value meal at McD's, and can pay for ANYTHING in change. The pizza guy dreads your call, because he knows he's getting a buttload of dimes!!

I didn't buy a Long Island, but I definitely sold my books back for pennies because I needed grocery money.

Definitely paid for a LOT of stuff in change. I was using my laundry quarters so laundry got put on hold, too.

When you pay for a pack of cigarettes in change, and you don't even smoke.

When you see all of your best friends almost every day.

When a room only big enough to fit a twin-sized bed and the world's tiniest desk is acceptable, as long as it's the only single left in the house.
