HIGH SCHOOL VS.
COLLEGE
* In high school, you do homework. In
college, you study.
* No food is allowed in the hall in high
school. In college, food must be provided at an event before students will come.
* In high school, you wear your backpack on
one shoulder; in college, on both.
* In college, the professors can tell you
the answer without looking at the teacher's guide.
* In college, there are no bells or tardy
slips.
* In high school, you have to live with
your parents. In college, you get to live with your friends.
* In college, you don't have to wait in a
certain lunch line to be cool.
* Only nerds e-mailed in high school. Cool
kids hadn't heard of it.
* In high school, you're told what classes
to take. In college, you get to choose; that is, as long as the classes don't conflict and
you have the prerequisites and the classes aren't closed and you've paid your tuition.
* In high school, if you screw up you can
usually sweet-talk your way out of it. In college, you're lucky to ever talk with the
professor.
* In high school, fire drills are planned
by the administration; in college, by the drunk frat boys on their way home when the bars
close.
* In college, any test consists of a larger
percentage of your grade than your high school final exams ever did.
* In high school, when the teacher said,
"Good morning," you mumbled back. In college, when the professor says,
"Good morning," you write it down.
* In high school, freshman guys hit on
senior girls. In college, senior guys hit on freshman girls.
* In college, weekends start on Thursday.
* In college, it's much more difficult to
figure out the course schedule of the man/woman you have a crush on, in order to figure
out where he/she will be walking around campus and at what time to find them there.
* Once you've obtained the information
described in #10, it's much more time-consuming to run between classes to that place where
you know he/she will be in order to "just happen to bump into him/her."
* In college, there's no one to tell you
not to eat pizza three meals a day.
* In college, your dad doesn't pay for
dates.
* In high school, it never took 3 or 4
weeks to get money from Mom and Dad.
* College men are cuter than high school
boys.
* College women are legal.
* In college, when you miss a class (or two
or three), you don't need a note from your parents saying you were skip....uh, sick that
day.
* In high school, you can't go out to lunch
because it's not allowed. In college, you can't go out to lunch because you can't afford
it.
