The most important thing I learned in college was how to sleep. I'm not even sure what my major was, but the sleeping skills I learned living in the dorms will stay with me forever.
Decibel for decibel, typical college dorms can give Beirut a run for its money, what with your neighbor's stereo blasting "My Shit is Bananas" or whateverthecrap 24/5 (he goes home on weekends), or that fartface on the floor above you who's relentlessly trying to learn "Don'tcha" on the trumpet, or the guy with the IMAX quality surround-sound who can't stop watching "You Got Served" - needless to say, it can be hard to get some sleep in the dorms.
People like to act like they're crazy and don't need sleep; I am not one of these people. If I don't sleep at least, like, ten hours, I'm likely to bury a laptop in someone's head. I wish someone had shared the following infinite wisdom with me before MY freshman year - so many heads/laptops could have been saved. This, my friends, is how to sleep in college.>
