The Differences Between High School and College

1. In high school, you do homework. In college, you study.
2. No food is allowed in the hall in high school. In college, food must be provided at an event before students will come.
3. In college, the professors can tell you the answer without looking at the teacher's guide.

6. In college, you don't have to wait in a certain lunch line to be cool.
7. Only nerds emailed in high school. (Cool kids hadn't heard of it.)
