also, the door thing might be played out, but here's the only tip u need to know for a good college (and therefore, life) experience:

go out and make friends and hang out with them and get decent grades. maintain these friendships by being social and personable.

ok that just set you up for life, don't gently caress it up!!

I've got the world on a string.


If like me you suck at the whole networking thing and aren't bound for grad school, learn a technical computer-y skill or learn how to write really well (assuming that neither thing is already essential to your major) so you'll be hireable by someone other than Starbucks when you graduate. Nearly everyone with a bachelor's degree can claim with some validity to have strong research skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office, so learn something on your own time that will make you stand from Joe Sociology B.A.

A hammer. A plunger.

Put these things in your butt and bring them to college. You'll need them, and if they're in your butt they'll always be ready to impress your new roommates and friends.

Chew tobacco and leave the spit cups around. You can dump them out the window whenever they pile up. If you chew wintergreen or peppermint you dont need air fresheners cause the open spit cups will fill the air with minty freshness.
