15. Disney movies are more than just classics.


One of my buddies went over to college and rented and watched every Disney movie he could find for no better reason than to say that he did it.

Silly kid.

I'm assuming your college is like our universirty. In that case, I haven't started it. I'm just saying most of the list is pretty obvious.

Well, in Canada, college and universities are two very different things. When I say university I refer to places similar to NYU or Harvard. Colleges are much smaller, and are a little more like trade schools, though not quite. Like there's a welding program, and that sort of thing. Most of the diplomas are geared towards a particular career path, like educational assistant and social service worker, which is the program I'm in.

Pretty negative there Firestarter.
The list was hilarious and absolutely descirbes dorm life to a T.
I can picture the dreary brick and cruddy matress.
College is the best though.

51. The real world was never so appealing.
