Most people come to college thinking they need dedication and hard work to succeed. Some kids go even as far as taking multiple AP classes to give them the “step up” they think they will need. These people soon realize that college is about only two things, none of which is taught in any AP class: acronyms and stairs.
As a Freshman, finding your way around campus is difficult enough because the it’s so much larger than our high schools. But to make things even worse, no one even knows the names of the buildings, just their acronyms; the JKB, the JSB, the JFSB, the MARB, the HFAC, and the CB are among the many. I just started to wrap my mind around them all when I went to a retreat with RHA where I learned about OTMs, NRHH, and IACURH. Do we really come to college to get too lazy to say complete names?
The stairs here can be sort of ridiculous. One or two are fine, but when the time comes that you find yourself at the field house with your laptop in hand and a bag full of books and you look up at that mountain of stairs, you will wish you took more PE and less AP classes.
