College!
Tom:
You know, you could just read up on it on wikipedia or somethin'.
Patrick:
Should I be ashamed of the fact that Wikipedia already provides the majority of my education?
Uber Ritter:
Someone may have said this before, I was skimming, but here is a hard-earned bit of advice from Freshman year's second half:
Friends first, Significant Other later--If a wonderful young woman/young man falls into your lap the first week of school, great. But your first social priority should be figuring out who you want to hang with in a completely nonromantic fashion, because if said girl/boy leaves you/leaves the college/whatever it's your friends that you're going to need to fall back on if you ever want to leave your dorm room and hang with people that aren't total strangers (or mere acquaintences, if you go to an ass-small college like my alma mater).
Oli:
Making friends is pretty easy guys. Just don't be a complete knob and try to be a little outgoing. Nobody is going to invite That Guy in your seminar who you've never heard speak for a post-class pint.

I agree with you, pretty much. Except the food. If the dorm has a kitchen, it's good to actually cook every once in a while! (But yes, those are your basic college staples, even though I've still never eaten ramen and I'm done with college.) Also, cooking for several people on your floor is a good way to make friends! One of my friends was an RA and he started a weekly food party so that the people on his floor could get to know each other better and they seemed to enjoy it from what he said.
