I can say we all look back at some part of our college years, give ourselves the face palm, and think, “What the hell was I doing?” If you are still in college, maybe you can learn from some of our alumni lessons. Or hell, do it anyway, it makes college more fun!
1. Do the One Night Stand
I think this is a necessary part of college, if you are single. A rite of passage you might say. Just be safe, and don’t let the beer goggles burn you.
2. Don't Buy Books Right Away From the Bookstore
I would probably have a pretty good life savings if I would’ve been smarter my first year or so. First, scope out the class to see if you will ever open the pages of that 50-pound $500 book. Second, make a friend and split the cost if you will need it. Third, if you insist on having the book - go online and buy it there. Your wallet will thank me.
3. Don't Think Popcorn is a Nutritious Dinner
Well I still do that… but - hey, your resources are limited; you do what you gotta do. But if you can take advantage of the meal plan, seriously DO IT. Man do I miss that.
4. Do Study Enough
Party over study, duh. Well, until you are on the Super Senior 6 year plan.
5. Don't Study Too Much
All work and no play leads to a boring freaking life and zero stupid stories you can tell in the future.
6. Do Study Abroad
Think you can’t be away for a semester. You can.. This is my single biggest regret, forget the drunken embarrassing stories!
7. Do Facebook The Right Way
Seriously my Timehop from college is embarrassing. 2 am is NOT a good time to post that oh-so-funny-until-I-see-it-in-the-morning status.
8. Don't/Do Drugs
College is the time for sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Sex, rock and roll, go for it. Drugs, remember what your 5th grade D.A.R.E officer taught you, just say no.
9. Don't Get That Tramp Stamp
Not trying to be your mom here, but really are you going to like it in 25 years?
10. Don't Skip Class.
Hangover or not, go. You are paying 1,000’s for that shit.
11. Do Consider the Future Consequences of Your Signature Outfit.
Remember, remember, remember… Employers can access your social media. Tit tassels for Halloween might not be your best look.
12. Do Alter Your Appearance Within Normal Boundaries
I once dyed my hair black, not my best look, but hair can go back. Remember that hole from that one piercing will always linger.
13. Do Make More Friends
Sure, your drunk buddy that helps you puke is great. But meaningful relationships last longer than the hangover.
The Hangover said it best, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Except herpes. That sh!t’ll come back with you.”
College is like 4 years of Vegas, and stories only need to be relived when you and your college roomies get together, unless you manage to do everything on this list…
