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.

My neighbors sold books for classes they were still in at the time so they could buy kegs for a block party.

....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.

I want to know where I can get books that cheap. Mine run average of 160 or so. And I also want to know where you are getting long islands that cheap, I pay at least 6. Not like i drink them anyway cause they taste horrible, but ya get my point.

My room was so small, the dresser had to be wedged in sideways! Out of season clothing was in the bottom drawer, and I had to slide the bed out to get to it.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned pizza as a major food group. Hot for dinner or munchies, cold for breakfast.

I had a bed that had drawers in the bottom of it, and anything that didn't fit in those drawers had to go in the closets of the room next to me.

Incidentally, that room was quite large, but it didn't have an outside window so it couldn't be used as a bedroom.

Wow, having flashbacks!!!!

When you get your friday dinner at the local bar cause it's TGIF and they serve free food with purchase of pitchers.

Okay, I am the 'go to class eight hours straight so I don't have Friday classes' person. I'm on my second semester with that schedule... and it was great until I got a job that I work 8-5 on Fridays.

You know you're in college when you use all your grocery bags as trash can liners.

You know you're in college when you ask if the store you're at offers a student discount with ID.

You know you're in college when you fight over who gets to housesit next = no roomies and free laundry!

Oh man, there's a burrito place in town and I always forget they give student discounts. They usually ask me, but they didn't last time I was there.

I've been out of college a looooooong time, but here goes.

You know you're in college when:

You are flying home to visit the 'rents, and you get to the airport by spending 45 minutes on the T, rather than 10 minutes in a taxi, because the T only costs 85 cents. (I'm dating myself here. )

People want to befriend you because you have a car.

You have a friend who looks kinda sorta like you, who will lend you her ID so you can buy booze.

You learn to cook real fast because the cafeteria food makes you barf. (Aramark SUCKS!)

Me too - the little plastic ones are perfect for the smaller garbage pails around the house.

^^Guilty. That's just being resourceful.

Road trip = ANYwhere with your friend who has a car

You get excited because there is a 24 hr Wal Mart opening near campus AND you have a car! (True story)

[cheerfulgreek]

When you use your trunk as a table so you can eat your Ramen noodles.

You know you are at MVSU when..
1. The police let everybody on campus without checking them
2. The mosquitoes (sp) are your next door neighbors
3. You try to stay away from the cafeteria food.
4. When people leave because the school messed up their scholarship money
5. When the football team wins only 2 or 3 games a year.
6. When you run into the same people every single day because the campus is small
7. When everybody leaves off campus for the weekend except the out of state people.
