For all you whipersnappers out there excited about your first semester in college, you might want to think twice. Oh sure, college is fun but stuff can always go wrong. As your college experience creeps closer and excitement peaks you might want to keep these lessons in mind.
1. Move-in day is hectic to say the least. When you're packing at home you may think you need those 50 dvds, hundreds of books, or those stuffed animals you thought you couldn't live without, but in actuality you will have no time to watch those movies. The only way you'll find the time to read those books is during that boring and un-needed first semester requirement class.

2. DON'T BRING OCTOPUS LAMPS! Apparently they can be used as a deadly weapon for taking over your suite. I swear I never took the ILLEGAL lamp and chased my suite mates around the building, but if you read the letter it may seem that way. Well we learned this the hard way. We received very official looking letters that made us feel like convict crimminals. Just imagine having to tell your mother that you got in trouble for a lamp that your RA saw you bring in. Supposedly it is a fire hazard so don't bring it unless you want to see your mother make a fool of herself in a store asking if a lamp is illegal.
3. Get over your fear of mice. Even if you live on the seventh floor those craftly little devils know how to use the elevator. Miss Moon is what I like to call a heavy sleeper. I screamed when I saw the mouse and literally had to drag her out of bed. I said "I really don't want to find this mouse." She simply replied "Well I don't either" and went back to sleep. We proceeded to catch seven mice over the next two weeks until we figured out that we were actually attracting them with the food in the trap.
4. Now you would think that things would get better after all that fun, but you'd be wrong. I brought back the new lamp and I thought that the problem was solved, but then Mary Jane plugged it in and then we left in the dark literally. The lamp blew a fuse at night. We went to our RA for help and he proceded to ask us "what is a fuse?" He was of absolutely of no help!!! We went downstairs to the help desk and asked them how to solve the problem. The lady at the desk told us to call the emergency maintanence with a number of four or five digits. We were like this is not a real number, but realized that she was no help. Fortunately for us, we leave our laptops plugged in at all times so Mary Jane found the number for them and called.
Then we met Luigi. . .
