DANVILLE, KY—Senior Anne Ledford has learned many things during her three-plus years at Centre College. Here she shares her top-20 list of quirky things she's gathered from her college experience.
College has taught me....

2. Getting mail from your mom actually makes you cool.
3. Freshman 15 is a myth, but the college 30 is a reality.
4. That in high school it might be creepy, but in college it's cool to have a crush on your professor.
5. That dating for a week in college is like dating for a month in high school.
6. That I do appreciate a clean room.

9. That I'm no longer the smartest person.
10. To appreciate naptime.
11. Spring break is 10 times more fun when you're in college.
12. That just because you got in doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be on the dean's list.

15. I still rely too heavily on spell check to right my wrongs.
16. That a guy seeing you in your bath towel is not the end of the world.
