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.

into a recitation class.

Seniors: Memorize the professor's habits to get a good grade.
Freshman: Roller skates to class.
Senior: Roller skates instead of going to class.
