The college rulebook.

1. Everyone wears jeans. Gals wear them tight and low-slung. Guys wear them baggy and low-slung.
2. Everyone has a cell phone.
3. Don't be too early to class, as you will then bump into the end of the class before yours.
4. Try really, really hard not to answer all the teacher's questions. Sometimes someone else actually knows the answer, too. ( And sometimes, you are wrong. Imagine that.)
5. Laugh and smile a lot. People will like you if you do.
6. Notice that there are other older people like you around, and they look pretty dumb if they try to emulate the youngsters' dress, so just be yourself.
7. Whatever happens is what is supposed to happen and it will all turn out fine at the end, so no more worrying yourself into a great big stress pimple on your chin, no, no, not any more.
8. Don't pack up your book bag till class is over. It is rude.
9. If you have to spend every moment of every day studying, school is not an option. There has to be time for play, too. Balance is the key. Well, duh.
