I wish for a pony.....

1.) What do you wish you would have known, or (about) or just information you wished you could have had.

2.) Did you do things the hard way unknowingly? To find out later, if you would have looked you could have circumnavigated a certain class or professor or such?

(1)     Finals will be the worst week of your life. College is nothing like you see on TV/movies and is generally much more boring. You will probably drink, do drugs, and have sex with people you don't know all that well--be safe about it. No matter what your roommate tells you, drinking the night before a midterm or final is never a good idea. You will go home just to do laundry and eat real meals, when you do this try to con your parents into taking you grocery shopping too. You will gain weight in college, not from dorm food but from drunk munchies. Don't be "that guy" in class: if you have more than one question save it for office hours, email, or after class. If you are not a morning person, you will not get up for your 8:30 classes, so just avoid them when possible.

(2)     Yes. But every person and every situation is different. Somethings you DO just have to learn the hard way. Have fun.
