Elgajiji Talking

You know you are in college when ....

.High school started before 8am, but now anything before noon is considered “early.”
. Weekends start on Thursday.
. 6am is when you go to sleep, not when you wake up.
. You know many different ways to cook ramen noodles or macaroni and cheese.
. Instead of falling asleep in class, you stay in bed.
. You know how late McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Qdoba, etc. are open.
. You think it’s the weekend on a Wednesday and you don’t know what month it is.
. You check Facebook/Myspace more than once a day.
. You wash dishes in the bathroom sink.
. The standard of meals per day falls to two, sometimes just one.
. Your trash is overflowing and your bank account isn’t.
. You wear the same jeans for 13 days without washing them.
. Your breakfast consists of a coke or cereal bar on the way to class... anything with caffeine will do.
. Quarters are like gold.
. You live in a house with three couches, none of which match.
. You try to study but seem to procrastinate by eating, going to study breaks, talking to people, etc...
. You talk to your roommate on instant messenger when you’re both home.
. You ask people what YOU did last night.
. Facebook becomes a part of your daily life – when friends say something funny, oh “that’s going on facebook.” When friends take pictures of you, you wonder how long it will take them to post them.
. You see people you know you’ve met but can never remember their names or how you know them.
. You sleep more in class than in your room
. You go home to do your laundry because you're too poor to pay the $2... or too lazy to go to a change machine.

. You stay up late to finish homework then sleep through the class it was due in.
. Going to the mailbox becomes an ego booster/breaker.
. Most of your T.A.s are foreign...what's the deal?
. You never realized so many people are smarter than you.
. You never realized so many people are dumber than you.
. You meet the type of people you thought only existed in the movies.
. Printers break down only when you desperately need them.
. Anything can be cooked in a microwave.
. Going to the grocery at midnight is completely normal.
. You call restaurants that deliver more than you call your own family.
