Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to XU

  • Meeting people takes a lot of effort if you live in certain dorms.

  • Only spend money on the bare essentials.

  • Do not, I repeat, do not bring your high school yearbook.

  • Overuse of Instant Messenger will reduce your GPA by at least 0.2, guaranteed.

  • It's better to get some sleep and wake up early and finish work than to pull numerous all-nighters.

  • Everyone acts like an idiot in college, so don't feel so bad.
