After I switched to orange juice for lunch, my tummy issues suddenly stopped. Lactose tolerance can be trained, but you gotta be drinking for a long time to get there. For some people like me, it's impossible to indulge in dairies. | ||

Being able to drink milk without severe consequences doesn't necessarily mean you or someone else isn't lactose intolerant by definition of the condition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance#Lactase_persistence On February 23 2012 13:53 Yenticha wrote: Yeah, here in Taiwan everyone drinks milk (mostly with tea haha). Don't see anyone complaining about lactose intolerance... Do you frequently see people drinking medium or large glasses of milk? If its a small amount added to tea or coffee its pretty likely that isn't really enough cause most people much (or any) discomfort. | ||

bring shower sandals to dorm. communal showers are just......depressing. Your favorite alcohol if dorm permits/if your balls are large (if not) Always enjoy a nice glass of whiskey (i.e. w.e tickles your fancy). sigh just reread OP and saw you specifically talk about things to bring, not dorm life in general so you can disregard below, though it might be worth it to glance over. Go out and meet as many people as humanly possible while in the dorms. makes socializing later years much easier. try any club that you have the slightest inclination for. you can always stop, but getting involved with a good and interesting club is a great way to help you stay motivated and entertained during school. not sure on age/drinking laws/moral compass but I would go party as much as possible while/if classes are easy. For most people they just get harder meaning less time to responsibly go out and get smashed. don't date or hookup with anyone on your floor. It will just be awkward if it ends poorly for the rest of the year. | ||

I'm lactose-intolerant (doubly so in the mornings), but I still drink milk tea from time to time, and it doesn't make me feel particularly sick until I finish a cup in a short period of time. My mom's way more lactose intolerant on the other hand; she can't drink even a quarter of a cup of milk tea and has to limit dairy intake. | ||

Socks, underwear, sheets, towels, shirts, pants, ect. ect. You won't regret it. Otherwise, enjoy the experience  Eh, idk. I really like studying while doing laundry. Something about it is so calming. Maybe it's having a tangible result you can check every hour or so unlike studying -.-;; | ||
