Differences in Students

[jschut, BSN, RN]

With the start of school, I thought you might enjoy the following

list showing the difference between freshmen and seniors:

Freshmen: Are never in bed past noon.

Seniors: Are never out of bed before noon.

Freshmen: Read the syllabus to find out what classes

they can cut.

Seniors: Read the syllabus to find out what classes

they need to attend.

Freshman: Brings a can of soda into a lecture hall.

Senior: Brings a jumbo hoagie and six-pack of Mountain Dew

into a recitation class.

Freshman: Calls the professor "Professor."

Senior: Calls the professor "Bob."

Freshmen: Would walk ten miles to get to class.

Seniors: Drive to class if it's further than three blocks away.

Freshmen: Memorize the course material to get a good grade.

Seniors: Memorize the professor's habits to get a good grade.

Freshman: Roller skates to class.

Senior: Roller skates instead of going to class.

Freshman: Knows a ton of useless trivia about the university.

Senior: Knows where the next class is. Maybe...

Freshman: Shows up at a morning exam clean, perky, and fed.

Senior: Shows up at a morning exam in sweats with

a cap on and a box of pop tarts in hand.

Freshmen: Have to ask where the computer labs are.

Senior: Has "own" personal workstation.

Freshmen: Worry about the last freshman composition essay.

Seniors: Worry about the last GRE essay.

Freshman: Lines up for an hour to buy his textbooks in the

first week.

Senior: Starts to think about buying textbooks in

October...maybe.

Freshman: Is proud of his A+ on Calculus I mid-term.

Senior: Is proud of not ~quite~ failing Complex Analysis

mid-term.

Freshman: Calls his girlfriend back home every other night.

Senior: Calls Domino's every other night.

Freshman: Is appalled at the class size and callousness of profs.

Senior: Is appalled that the campus deli closed down.

Freshman: Is excited about the world of possibilities that awaits

him, the unlimited vista of educational

opportunies and the chance to expand

one's horizons and really make a contribution

to society.

Senior: Is excited about the new dryers in the laundry room.

Freshman: Takes meticulous four-color notes in class.

Senior: Meticulously quotes professor when

he says something funny in class (when awake

in class and not skating).

Loved it:)

I remember when I first started nursing school, I just about freaked out when I saw students munching down on stuff in class. Now I do it too.

I think Mt. Dew is the most popular drink in my class. When we are in clinicals, the volunteers at the hospital bring around a cart with snacks, soda, etc. Everyone anxiously awaits this "Dew Cart". They don't have it in the soda machines, just on the snack cart. :chuckle

[Whisper]

but what is Mountain Drew? I have never heard of it before.

Thanks

[2003rn, ASN, RN]

Mt. Dew is a soft drink with lots of caffeine. Helps keep us up when we need to stay up late.:)
