What do you not miss about college?

[KillarneyRose]

I most definitely do not miss not having two nickels to rub together.

In fact, my best friend was up here a few weeks ago to run in the Marine Corps marathon and we met up to shop at Pentagon City and as we were wandering through the mall she said, "Remember how a bunch of us used to hit the stores before every mixer to find new outfits?" (she and I weren't close friends until my senior year) and I just looked at her and said, "Are you nuts? I was one of those people who had one cute outfit and wore it at every mixer for a year!"

- 8 am classes
- annoying roommates
- raising tuition rates
- paying a ton for a little itty bitty textbook
- paying an arm & leg for parking
- having to work all the time to pay sorority dues and trying to balance work with school/sorority and still being broke (One of the MAJOR things I love about being out of college is the grown up paychecks! )
- petty drama and trying to always stay out of it
- professors that sound like the Clear Eyes commercial guy
- waking up at 6 am to be one of the first people to register so the critical classes wouldn't be full
- certain people bitching that everyone needed to pay the large chapter dues and then making everything mandatory so that no one had time to WORK to get money to pay the dues and them not understanding that not every college kid has everything handed to them by mommy & daddy. hehehe sorry but that one I just never understood !

I don't miss trying to hold down a job, a babysitting business, while still trying to do well in school. Adding fraternity business on top of that, I remember why I didn't sleep all that much.

WHOA, You are not still in school? You are Not a COED anymore!

Dang, I am and have been looking for A Younger Women from Kansas where Peeps are Sane!

What is funny, when I had 2 roomates and We had an Apt. above a House, We went to the Grocers Weekly and bought what We were going to eat for the Week. Damn, We did eat good!

Never heard of Raymond Noodles and was below our standards of dining!

Oh, Fried Chicken, mashed taters and White Gravy. Potatoe salad, BBQ Beans, Bean Salad, Roasts, Fish, Salads, Hot Dogs maybe once a month, burgers the same. Fish, Mac & Cheese with Tuna and other meals!

We never told anyone what We had as We were Frugal with Cash for Food!

LOL Oh gosh no. I graduated from college in '97.

Hey wait! It just accured to me that my ten year college reunion is next year. - That should be fun. I'm sure me and my friends could come up with tons of stuff to add to this list

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

[Tickled Pink 2]

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 ).

parking tickets
walking across campus [esp if it was raining]
looking for parking
the bursar, registration, & financial aid office staff
sorority rivalry & drama [uber competitive chapters]

[dekeguy]

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.
