- Get a cell phone that works and that you can turn off in class, its annoying as hell when someone's cell phone goes off in class, and even more embarrassing when its yours.
- If you and your roommate have been up late drinking heavily in your dorm room, remember your keys when you go to the dining hall to get food. When the RAs are writing you up (and charging 20$) to unlock your door, speak a foreign language to each other (German works great) and they'll feel bad because they will think you're an international student.
- There were people who you hated in high school who found their way to your university. They will see you and want to say hi and etc. Dont make eye contact. You hated them then, they haven't changed and neither have you, avoid them at all costs. Being drunk and talking to them is also a big mistake, because they will find you more approachable.
- Drink alot of water everyday, not just after drinking. Being hydrated makes you happier (no really it does)
- Your parents are the ones paying for all of this, so thank them often and don't be a cock monger to them (Thanks mom and dad)
- Never, ever, drink on a night where you have a test the next day. Get in your room and fucking study, you're at school for a reason.
- the quote "You can retake the class but not the party" is a load of horse shit. There are other parties. Your grades come first while in college, no matter how many fuck-offs tell you different.
- If you're roommate happens to be a best friend, you will find them to be a giant douche at times, and vice-versa. It happens. You need to help them the most you can, and they need to help you. Support each other and drink with each other.
- Cheap alcohol, no matter how cheap it is, is always shit and should be avoided. Instead of drinking every night, drink once or twice on the weekend and drink the good stuff. Your body and taste buds will thank you. Your wallet will be indifferent.
- Get a fucking job. You have a SHIT ton of time after classes and studying, go earn some money, not all of your education and socializing should be put on your parents.
- Get to know your professors in your field (I.E engineering, History, German, etc), you can make a great friend and a mentor and someone to look up to.
- You don't need to participate in all sorts of little clubs and bullshit. If you see something you like then go for it. None of it is required and they're all looking for money.
- Greek-sorority and fraternity shit is the biggest waste of humanity of all time. They are for rich, pretty, stupid people who spend all day tanning on their mercades-benzes and talking on the phone or text messaging gossip after a long night of drinking and fucking. Avoid these people. Occasionally a normal person will slip into these disgusting rich-love ins, feel bad for them. These people are pricks.
- The quiet nerds are the coolest people on campus. They're the most down to earth (most of the time) and they dont text message or say dude every five seconds.
- The jocks of the university will be the cockiest people on earth, most are not there for an education. Some are alright, but they all think they're better than you. There are few student-athletes that are approachable and cool. Julian Wright was one of them. Thats about it.
- EVERYBODY IN KANSAS HATES JOHNSON COUNTY. When i say hate i mean HATE johnson county. Even though these people have the right and a damn good reason, they can go fuck themselves because johnson county keeps Kansas above being a hovel. Most of those little western cities have their streets, their single stop-light and their one cop car paid for by Johnson county or Kansas city residents.
- On the johnson county note, I don't hate johnson county, just all of blue valley and most of Shawnee mission, Olathe (except Olathe east) is the only place in Johnson county that is down to earth.
- Alcohol is the best drug there is, avoid the other drugs and pot. Alcohol you wake up with a hangover and thats all. Pot and the rest mess with you for a very long time and can keep you from getting a job.
- Avoid hard alcohol in large quantities, Beer is where its at.
There is more to come I'm sure, so check back in a day or two.
