ME TOO!! I started college in 1987 and didn't even take a computer to college with me. I took a typewriter.

You took your typewriter? Why did you need one?

I remember I was in line waiting to register and wished the class I wanted was still open. It was like a race. You had to go to the line of the class you want first or you won't get in.

I didn't take it to registration, I took it to school with me when I moved into the dorm freshman year. Registration required eating your wheaties and wearing running shoes.

Okay. lol How was the dorm life? I commuted from my home. My daughter is going to college next year and if she could get in to the college near (about 30 min), she might commute. But I'm thinking dorm might be good too to make friends.

It was good and bad. I went to Chico state the year that Playboy voted it the #1 party school in the US. I learned how to make a beer bong my first week. I almost got caught up in the party thing too much - first time away from home, total freedom. I had to really buckle down after the first semester when I saw where my grades were headed. Once I gave myself a good kick in the rear, I did well. I'd have to make sure I finished a paper, or did the reading etc before I'd meet my friends for the parties. It was hard and sometimes I wanted to blow it off, but I did it. It also isn't something you can force your daughter to do... she has to get there on her own. My room-mate freshman flunked out the first semester.

Well my daughter has her goal for her life so I'm not really worry but you never know what might happen in life. If she didn't get in to nearest college, she doesn't have choice but to go to dorm.

I don't think I'll get tatoo either. I'm too chicken. lol
