What I learned from college dorm life:
These are things I learned during my 4 1/2 year duration of dorm life here at Luther.
Feel free to add your own to the list:
- Wrinkle releaser spray is a must. Ironing is a thing of the past unless you go broke (See next point)
- If you've run out of wrinkle releaser spray and can't afford a new bottle, a curling iron is sufficient to use to iron your clothes in its place.
- Duct tape is the fixit tool for anything. Even if you eventually have more tape than sandal (if that's what you're fixing), it's still perfectly good as long as it's one piece. (Duct tape can also double as a disposable strapless bra)
- Hemming pants can be quickly and easily accomplished with a simple Swingline stapler
- Laundry can be stretched to last from break to break by purchasing more underwear on sale at Walmart
- Dusting can be averted by putting a school book on top of the dust. Repeat when book gets dusty. It also makes mom and dad think you've been studying hard to see books stacked all over your room.
- Hard liquor doesn't freeze, so you can easily hide it in the little freezer up in the corner of the fridge where no one ever looks
- Goldfish can live up to 3 weeks without food
- Clothes don't need to be washed after you've only worn them once. A cheap bottle of Bath & Body Works perfume will keep your stuff fresh and clean for a few more rounds
- Taking silverware from the caf/Marty's isn't stealing 'cause they let you give them back at the end of the year without question. Take as much as you want. I think I had a full place-setting for a family of four by the end of last year
- Ramen noodles and pizza become a staple in your diet, and even turn into their own major food group category: , the "broke and hungry" food group
- After you've graduated and someone questions something you may have done in your past, you can easily excuse it with the phrase "while I was in college" and they'll understand
- As long as you're on the college internet network, you'll never have to purchase a CD again
- You get really good at math and word problems, i.e. "You have 2 large pizzas for 16.99 and 8 people going in on it. How much does each person pay including a 15% sales tax?"
- Space management becomes your forte. You're able to turn a 10x10 square foot cubby hole into a bedroom, office, and living room. The hot pot becomes its own kitchen
- You appreciate the eventual day when you'll get at or above the poverty level

On the silverware: Or you can just steal all of it your junior year for your off-campus apartment for senior year. When you graduate, you pass it off to a friend for their apartment.
