College Food, Dorms, Relationships, and Other College Stuff

Food
Please, whatever you do, do not assume that College food is much better than high school food. The only food that's actually "better" is the completely unhealthy stuff they serve like pasta or burgers. Believe me when I say it is the most impossible thing to figure out in any timely fashion how to eat well with Campus Dining.
Dorms
You know how mom keeps saying "the dorms are smaller than you think?" SHE'S UNBELIEVEABLY RIGHT! Take your room (no matter how small it is) and shrink it by at least half, and that's about the size of most dorm rooms. And in most of them you're expected to share with someone else. Expect: flies (fruit flies, nats, nasty big flies, etc), spiders, cleaning on a weekly (or twice weekly) basis, lots of laundry, and many other inconveniences. Expect your roommate to be a slob and to leave nasty wet towels in your microwave until it smells of mold and mildew and you don't realize it until you open it and feel like you need to barf at the grossness that is your roommate's habits.
Relationships
Expect little of your partner -- especially if you or the both of you are transitioning either as a freshman or grad school or wherever you or your partner are at. Because it is a very unrealistic expectation to think your partner should be emotionally and mentally together their first semester - even three or more months in. Believe me. It's that big of an adjustment for people. And the only solution is time.
Registration
Registering for classes is quite possibly the most frustrating experience for freshmen like me who are neither as dumb as a rock and need to be in counseling sessions to make sure they're doing well or even be in remedial classes (there's nothing wrong with having to take remedial classes, so don't think I'm hating on remedial classes) nor quite had high enough test scores to be in honors. Because the students in the remedial classes and the students in honors get to register within the first week of registration, if not the first day. Where as the rest of us not-so-special students have to wait until the last week, or even the last day of registration to choose classes, meaning what? That we get last dibs, or as I like to think of it, the "left-overs." Because by the time our registration day comes around, all the classes we wanted to take are filled up and the only thing you can do is redo your schedule for the eighth or ninth time and pray that those classes don't get filled up, too, before you can officially register for them.

I'll have more rants for you all later. Good luck on all your endeavors!
