College is a silly place. This is an important thing to keep in mind if you are going to be a freshman. College is a place that cannot be expressed in words. Ever. By anybody. Ever. This is a short guide to things that every senior should keep in mind before becoming a freshman once again. Guess what? College is not high school. Guess what? College isn't all about impressing the sick older kids with your rad American Eagle polo's with popped collars. And guess what? You'll be regarded as a faggot by pretty much everybody. This probably isn't your fault. Then again it probably is. First thing you need to remember when at school, "Don't be a faggot."
Another thing. You and your roommate will not necessarily be best friends. You don't need to spend every minute with them trying to make sure that nobody is a better friend with them than you are. Odds are, you will hate your roommate by the end of the year. This is a true statement. Spending every day with a random person that the college decided to stick you with is not the best thing. Every little flaw that you see in your roommate will be magnified by 100 by the end of the year.
Along the same lines, the first good looking girl that you meet is not necessarily your soul mate. Sorry, she's probably crazy.
Class schedules are less rules, and more guidelines. First week of class, you should go. First warm week of spring, you should not go. First day of snow, it is probably too cold to go to class. Even if it isn't. It is.
In college, there are three main aspects to life. Studying. Sleeping. Social life. No matter how hard you try to manage your schedule you can only have two of these things. Your first semester you will choose social life and sleeping. By second semester of your first year, I promise you that you will no longer be sleeping. Ever.
Some quick tips. Don't be overly friendly. Don't ever post on the Facebook group for your class year. Don't try to be the raddest dude you can be. Don't snitch. Don't sleep. Don't try too hard.
Dorm Life is the most accurate depiction of college that I have found. I promise you that you will meet every stereotype that is on this show within your first semester of school. Most of these situations will happen to you. And you will find that I am correct in my statements.
