Heading to college? Here's some advice about doing laundry, from the book "How to Survive Your Freshman Year" (Hundreds of Heads Books, www.hundredsofheads.com, $14.95), straight from people who've done it:
    __
    "I was on the way to the laundry room and I dropped my underwear on the dorm stairs. I didn't realize until someone came up to me and said, `You dropped your underwear on the stairs.' I was so embarrassed."
    Constance A. Lindsey, Duke University, Graduate
    __
    "I had this girl who did my laundry and I would notice that I was losing underwear. I rummaged through her stuff one day and found six pairs of my Fruit of the Looms! I haven't trusted anyone with my clothing since."
    Ryan Bowen, The University of Georgia, Senior
    __
    "One time, the washers were broken at the dorms. So I asked my new guy friend, who was six years older, if I could wash some clothes at his place. His friends came over that night and saw my yellow thongs and pink granny panties. Needless to say we stopped hanging out."
    M.T., Georgia State University, Senior

    "I had girl's underwear in my laundry one time; she must have left it in the dryer. They had her name in them, so I went to her room to give them back. Itw as kind of awkward, at least for me."
    Alex, Emory University, Sophomore

    "Keep track of the time when you are doing your laundry. During my freshman year I was late to take my clothes out of the dryer and someone stole my Victoria's Secret underwear and left my granny panties. I was so mad!"
    Danielle, Duke University, Graduate
