Nobody Told Me...

• That popcorn tastes so good so many nights in one week.
• That an alarm clock is a necessity.
• That I will pray my mailbox had mail in it everyday.
• That there’s more to college and learning than classes.
• That food service really does try to cook meals like I had at home.
• That there is a person called an R.A. who knows what’s going on and who can answer most of my questions.
• That I can get involved in Hall Council and be a part of planning so many events.
• That I don’t have to make my bed everyday if I don’t want to.
• That I have to dial 9 to call off campus.
• That the residence halls provide laundry rooms and soda and candy machines.
• That I’ll learn to budget my time and energy.
• That roommates are the greatest people in the world.
• That there is a person called a Hall Director in every residence hall who can answer any questions that my R.A. can’t.
• That I don’t have to sit in my room the first couple of days just because I don’t know anyone or where anything is.
• That it will take hours to get everything put away and then it will take even more hours to find them again.
• That I can make so many friends.
• That my residence hall will feel like home when I become involved in hall activities, make new friends, and take advantage of all that residence halls have to offer.
