I've abided by these self-proclaimed lessons. Most are the college norm, but I've grown to accept and embrace these. And if you like SPU or are thinking about SPU or are just simply wondering how the hell things have been, read dis.
Lesson 1: Never EVER get a dorm room right next to your RA's room. There will be people filtering in and out of their room all night long, pretty much..and there is always drama. And talking. And laughing and crying and conflict. It's never-ending, and you will hear all of it.
Lesson 2: People don't sleep here. They just don't. They enjoy watching their television programs on full volume after midnight; it's just something people do around here. They do not have a grasp at how uncourteous they're actually being. And they have yet to hear the concept of headphones.
Lesson 3: If you leave your door open often, you can kiss your sweet privacy farewell.
Lesson 4: Free time is the most valuable time. Make the most of every SECOND!
Lesson 5: You must become familiar with the bus system. Routes 17 (downtown), 13 (Queen Anne), and 31 (U-District) are the only ones you really need to know.
Lesson 6: Naps are perfectly acceptable right after an early class; don't let anyone tell you that taking a 10 am nap is wrong.
Lesson 7: In turn, naps late at night are okay, too. 9-11 pm naps are wonderful; don't listen to what they say about it.
Lesson 8: Don't ever ever ever be stupid like me and take an 8 am theory class every morning without the intent of majoring or minoring in Music. PLEASE. Do yourself a huge favor.
Lesson 9: The 24 hour Starbucks in U-Village is your new best friend, especially if your friends have cars.
Lesson 10: Yes, Starbucks and coffee in general are HUGE here. Get used to it if you haven't already (but it's okay to surrender to tea, too. Just don't lose those java roots).
Mmph. There you have it.
Sorry if it sucked.
