College vs. High School
25. In high school, you do homework. In college, you study.
24. No food is allowed in the hall in high school. In college,
food must be
provided at an event before students will come.
23. In high school, you wear your backpack on one shoulder; in college,
on
both.
22. In college, the professors can tell you the answer without looking
at
the teacher's guide.
21. In college, there are no bells or tardy slips.
20. In high school, you have to live with your parents. In college,
you get
to live with your friends.
19. In college, you don't have to wait in a certain lunch line to be
cool.
18. Only nerds e-mailed in high school. (Cool kids hadn't heard
of it.)
17. 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.
16. 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.
15. 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.
14. In college, any test consists of a larger percentage of your grade
than
your high school final exams ever did.
13. In high school, when the teacher said, "Good morning," you
mumbled
back. In college, when the professor says,
"Good morning," you write it
down.
12. In high school, freshman guys hit on senior girls. In college,
senior
guys hit on freshman girls.
11. In college, weekends start on Thursday.
10. 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.
9. 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."
8. In college, there's no one to tell you not to eat pizza three meals
a
day.
7. In college, your dad doesn't pay for dates.
6. In high school, it never took 3 or 4 weeks to get money from Mom
and Dad.
5. College men are cuter than high school boys.
4. College women are legal.
3. 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.

college, you can't go out to lunch because you can't afford
it.
