You know you're in college when...

^ It wasn't a script - or maybe it was a script that this chick had come up with on her own.

My husband attended the same school as I did, for both undergrad and grad; we were both grad students (and engaged) at the time. He also got a call that night, from someone else, who didn't try to stipulate a dollar amount he "should" donate. Guess what - he donated. I think he only donated $10 or so, but he donated.

If I was still working there I would totally show this to my boss!!

And to add to the list...(sorry if it's a repeat)

You can cook anything...as long as it's made on a George Forman grill

bump for those about to start "the big league"

DAYUM, I feel old as hell typing/reading that.. lol

Living in a rural area (many many MANY moons ago) we were able to dial (yes, dial) five digits (of a seven-digit number) to call someone on the other side of town. Swell, I just gave MY age away .

You know you're in college when:

Due tomorrow=DO tomorrow
Getting up early means 5 minutes before your 11 am class starts
When you park 5 long city blocks away from campus to avoid paying for parking

[unDOVEated1920]

you know you in college:

when people wear clothes to the club and back door wear them to there class the next day

when you get drunk off off blue juice from a sigma party.

the drinks at college parties are better than club dranks

the only time people work hard is during mid terms, finals and papers due

when people go to their hometown then their friday class

you know you're in college when:

interior decorating: rearranging a futon or papasan chair and hanging up a new poster.

going to the bathroom in the middle of the night involves carefully climbing down the ladder from your loft/top bunk and putting on shoes.

all of your bathroom stuff is in a bucket.

[nikki1920]

Your bathroom bucket contains a HUGE can of Lysol because some of your suitemates assumed that Housekeeping would clean up ANYTHING!!

Your suitemates were afraid of you because you went off after one of their guests vomited all over the hallway, and they didn't clean it up. *yes, I did that*

You had a sign that meant that you were "entertaining" a visitor and were not to be disturbed.

You can complete your workstudy hours in less than 2 months because you're bored

You know exactly how much cab fare you need to get to Wal-Mart or Taco Bell.

Your campus is so small it could be located inside of another school (trust me, mine was--it could've fit inside of UAB and still had room)

Your campus has more houses than actual dorms

Before the cell phones, the pay phone rang constantly and there was a message board for messages from family mostly

You know the office hours of your professors by heart

You can tell freshmen by the "lost" look they have on campus and seniors by the "damn, I wish this year would be over" look

Before computers were in your actual room, you would "borrow" a friends computerized typewriter to finish your term papers/finals

You knew who had a T.V. in their room, by the number of people piled in the room during anyone's given favorite show

Going to the bathroom without shower shoes was a hazardous risk to your health!

The only time you had less than 15 hrs was during your senior spring semester

You know you're in college when:

You and your bestie don't know who owes who what anymore, you just cover each other if one is short the dough

You lose weight because of the disgusting caf food

You know just how late your 8am chemistry professor is to class every morning

Having real flatware and a microfridge in the dorms made you popular

Taking summer classes specifically for having rent/bill money for the summer thanks to loans

You walk a mile from your off campus apartment to class because it's free and gas is too expensive

That's just a few lol

[christiangirl]

1. She still owes me $30.
2. I gained weight because the caf food was AWESOME.
3. Didn't take chem but the pre-calc prof was always 15 minutes and 10 seconds late. How do I know? When we left after 15 minutes, he always caught us on the staircase and shooed us back to class.

That's just a few.

[pshsx1]

...when you wake up Friday morning, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning saying "I'll never drink again." Right.

...when you're in 10am class on St. Paddy's day, already drunk.

...when you cuddle with your roommates in the living room in January because you don't want to pay for heat.

...when Oreo cookies and Busch Light suffice for dinner.

...when you're a Senior taking English 101.

...when you don't mind walking 10 minutes to class but if you have to park more than 5 spots away from the grocery store entrance, the Wendy's drive thru suddenly seems like a much better idea. "I didn't really need groceries this week..."

[FHwku]

when, between you and two roommates, not one person can remember to get toilet paper.

....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.
