Remember the first time you sat down in college with your blue book and prepared to take an exam? Bet you felt like you had really arrived, right?

How about the first time you carried your shower caddy to the communal bathroom down the hall? That was definitely where the real learning began. Turns out that shower flip-flops are a must. And forgetting your towel in your dorm room…well, let’s just say that you learned to make friends really quickly with the girl with the robe *and* towel in the stall next to you!

Our friend (and fellow book author, SQUEE!) Amy at Funny Is Family laid out the 20 things she learned in college (but not in the classroom) in one of the funniest posts ever. We kept going back and forth about which ones were our favorites until finally we emailed Amy and begged pleaded casually asked if we could share it here. Because she is awesome and knows that we totally pink puffy heart love her, she agreed!

Here are a few of our favorites:

5. Just because the dining hall will make you a grilled cheese on white bread (GC-dub) every day for every meal, you don’t have to order it every day for every meal. Similarly, if there is an afternoon nacho bar, you don’t need to hit that up every day between GC-dubs.

16. When your younger brother is a freshman at the same college, make sure he lives next door so he can share the care packages that your mom sends him. You know, the ones she never sent to you. Not even when you were a homesick freshman. Not even when she’s sending them to your brother who lives right next door, did you think I wasn’t going to find out, what the hell MOM?

20. Pay attention in computer lab. That internet is going to be a big deal.
