Perception Versus Truth

Perception Reality
I am not interested in the Greek system. It’s just set up to give upperclassmen the chance to haze freshmen. When I got to school, I wanted to pledge so badly because I saw how much fun the frats and sororities were having. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that they do haze freshmen.
In high school, I wouldn’t study for more than an hour for anything and I’d wait until the night before to start. I figured I’d have to study maybe two hours or so more than that in college. I found out I was entirely wrong after I took my first round of exams [Editor's note: For most college classes, your entire grade depends on one or two exams]. I ended up having to study about six or seven hours to get decent grades.
With the school being right on the beach, I knew I would probably spend more time there than I would studying. And I knew I was going to party a lot when I came to a big school. I go to the beach almost every day and spend more time surfing than I do studying. We party at least three times a week. There is always somebody who has time to hang out, no matter what day of the week it is.
Hooking up with random guys is going to be fabulous because you will probably never see them again, so you get to avoid awkwardness! I found that, somehow, you always seem to run into them, even though your campus is huge and you had never crossed paths before.
Princeton Review gave Oregon the No. 1 spot in the ‘Dorms Like Dungeons’ category. My hall was designed by a prison architect. I was expecting the situation to be as miserable as possible. This actually works out really well because no one wants to sit in their room. When the weather is nice, Oregon kids can be seen all over hiking, cliff-jumping and hanging out at the many surrounding lakes.
EARTHLINGS, PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DEMISE! YOUR PUNY WEAPONS ARE NO MATCH FOR SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY. PREPARE THE ASAULT, MY LEGIONS! WE MUST REPLENISH! Art history was a bad idea. The class was less about interpretation and more about historical influences. I found myself a little bored.
