There are some quirky things about college that people IN college know, but that freshmen or high school seniors may not be aware of. Today, I am going to save you the time and trouble of learning these quirky things through trial and error.

College Quirk #1

Writing notes is a pain in the behind, but I guarantee you will have AT LEAST one class every semester that requires prolific note taking. If you prefer to type on a laptop in class, fine. But for the old-school set, note taking in your Five-Star three ring is a reality.
Note taking can be annoying and frustrating, but there is a quirk of which you should be aware:
Using fun writing utensils (pens, pencils, etc) will greatly increase your fun while taking notes. I personally prefer using Sharpie retractable markers with a fine point. They come in lots of different colors, and although I can't use back-and-front pages in my notebook (the color bleeds through), it's a small price to pay for the delight of taking notes with a magenta marker.
