I started my own Facebook Post segment of little funny things I've learned in college my Freshman year and it really picked up! Here is the entire list of "Lessons Learned in College". If you have any to share or want to comment on these, feel free to shoot me an email at Gmail.
1) Fully stocked fridge= lots of people over all the time
2)Double check what room number you have.
3)Buying books are an evil necessity that require camping outside the bookstore.
5) Who said anything about diamonds? Microwaves are a girl's best friend.
6) Get a "Do Not Disturb" sign. People like to knock at 2 AM.
7) Home cooked meals never tasted so good.
8) Laundry is heavy. (This should be a given but normally people don't haul their laundry down a flight of stairs while attempting to hold house keys, a cell phone and detergent while walking to another building only to find you forgot your money for it.)
9)The things you pay attention to the most in lecture aren't facts or dates but the few good jokes your professor cracks. (For example, see Dr. Blackwell's History 1301 class and her explanation of why Britain went to protestantism or ask her about the Disney Pocahontas movie)
10) You will wish you had taken a few extra scan-trons from your teachers in high school. They disappear like crazy!
11)Just because YOU don't want to get out of bed doesn't mean you have to abuse the poor alarm clock. It's only doing its job.
12) Ice Cream on the way to class in 100 degree weather = puddle of chocolate on your new shoes. Nice...
13) Febreze = ♥
14) Popcorn bags are full of false promises and for some reason, are not as full in college as they were at home.
15) You will learn to guard your room key, toothbrush, and food with your life.
16) School IDs are much more important in college than they were in high school.
17) Dining dollars do NOT mean you dine until the dollars are gone.
18) You will get creative with food (especially when all you have are Cheetos, bread, ham, nutella, and maybe some ranch) (Learned from Stephy)

19) Wireless Internet is a blessing of epic proportions that you will wish you had.
20) When you need them, repair services take forever. When you least expect it and want to take a nap, they decide to show up. DX
21) Do NOT decide to do your laundry later than 9 pm. Ever.
22) Free food = blessings from the skies above.
23) Extra cash was a given in high school and now it seems like no matter what you do, it goes down the drain quickly.
24) Texting+ Facebook does NOT equal textbooks!
25) If you can survive history class, you can survive anything!
26) Algebra is as clear to me as Mandarin or Lithuanian.
27) Never underestimate the use of a frying pan.
28) Remember who's apt at breaking into a dorm on your floor, and is available at all hours. It comes in handy when you lock yourself out of your room (and don't ask me how I know that)
29) The neighbors who keep you up late at night listening to their X BOX crusades aren't all that bad... when they're not playing X BOX.
30) You WILL be able to test out your wardrobe and length to go without doing laundry.
31) There is such a thing as praying for the tooth fairy or any kind of random income to come in.
32) If you can survive midterms, you can survive anything.
23) NEVER lend out your only mug. You WILL regret not having coffee,
24) Me: "OMG It's midnight!"
Everyone else: "Duh, it's college."
25) Spongebob Squarepants microwaveable macaroni just might be the coolest invention you will ever encounter.
26) Dishes can and will be used for something other than their original purpose.You will discover that you can come up with many uses for forks that don't involve eating. lol
27) When it comes to guys, ask questions first then flirt later. It'll save you lots of headaches later.
28) Noise canceling headphones = ♥
29) Professor+ T.A = Awesome. T.A- Professor = chaos.
30) Parties are fun... when you're the sober one watching everyone get wasted and doing stupid things.
31) Student discounts are a Godsend.
32) Check the Weather Channel before getting dressed in the morning.
33) Headphones are a necessity everywhere.
34) You WILL learn how to balance, juggle, face roaring lions and be subject to the observing eye of many in college. So if you don't get your Bachelor's Degree you at least have a future in a career as someone in a circus.
35) You can tell where you stand with a guy and how they see you based on when they call/text you:
Good morning texts/calls = you're liked.
Texts/calls every 5 minutes= they're creepy and obsessed.
Anything past 11:45 on a weekday or anything past 2AM on a weekend: BOOTY CALL
A text while watching the game/playing X BOX= He wants to marry you.
36) Good friends are the ones who write on your Facebook wall. Great friends are the ones who bring you pudding when you're sick, lend you their notes from lectures you can't go to, and check in on you because they haven't heard from you.
37) A TV is pointless unless you have cable and a laptop is useless unless you have internet.
38) When you go ice skating, it doesn't matter how hard you fall. As long as you get back up, there's no excuse not to have fun.
39) Always carry your government/school ID. This should be self-explanatory but it should be highly stressed. lol
40) When it comes down to it, sometimes there's such a thing as too much studying.
41) Never leave on a date without shoes on (A lesson learned through Mark ;])
42) You will eventually get over being seen in pajamas in public. As a matter of fact, you will inspire envy for being so comfy.
43) Never take classes with professors you've had before if you can avoid it. They will proceed to tell the entire class that you've met Tyra Banks on the first day of class. (True Story)
44) Yes, it is possible to develop a serious burn from eating a Hot Pocket.
45) The definition of a Starbucks Revival
46) Thick, fuzzy socks make ice skating SO much easier!
47) Chivalry is dead.
48) Life doesn't wait until you're ready.
49) Never put jeans on the delicate cycle in the dryer... unless you like damp jeans.
50) Three meals a day becomes more of an urban legend than Bigfoot. As a matter, based on the sounds that come from up stairs, Bigfoot lives on the third floor.
51) Sometimes, best friends don't come with Greek letter shirts or campfires: they come in unique packages.
52) When they make a new addition to the campus, suddenly you realize how it looks nothing like the rest of the campus.
53) Finding a dryer that works is something worth doing.
54) If the last time you went out was when "Born This Way" was Lady Gaga's latest single, you need to stop studying!
55) Online Classes can make you or break you and you should at least check on the content half as much as you check on Facebook.
56) Nice looking sweatpants are a GREAT investment, especially when you want to look casual but not like a sloppy college kid.
57) Make friends with your co-workers. They're the ones who will make time fly by.
58) Sometimes, its the people who say absolutely nothing that make all the difference.
20) When you need them, repair services take forever. When you least expect it and want to take a nap, they decide to show up. DX
