Okay so I know there have been a few college threads lately and they have been really helpful.  But I pose one more question to the collegate members of Newschoolers...

What last minute advice/ words of wisdom/ funny stories/ etc. do you have for a freshman going into a big campus?  I'm moving into UW -Madison (Go Badgers!) in two days and want to make sure I have my shit on lock haha.

Don't be friends with girls....that shit is worthless.  As a freshman you'll quickly realize how many beautiful girls are around, easy to think they're nice and shit but forget that and just concentrate on the fact they DTF or you'll have wasted the easiest poontang evaaaaaaaaaaaa

Haha.. man some of my chillest friends at Uni are girls. A lot of girls you end up just screwing around with sure, but don't be afraid to persue a friendship with a girl if shes cool to hang with. Also its a mad bonus if she can vouch for you to her friends ;)

A wise friend and mentor gave me 4 rules to live by in college. It comes with a long speech but basically.
1. Thou shalt not die
2. No glove no love
3. Be comfortable with yourself above all else
4. If you want it, take it

Ya basically don't be that guy who has to go to the hospital for drinking.  You're going to be drinking more alcohol and for longer periods of time than you are probably used to.  You dont want to be remembered for being the sloppy kid, it will also hurt your chances at the easy vag.  No matter how badass a partier you think you are, you will be humbled.  This I promise you.

You will always find someone who can drink more than you, shotgun faster than you, bong faster than you. You'll discover that some people were just made to drink large quantities of alcohol very quickly.

I'm moving into UVM on friday as a freshman.  Kinda nervous but it should be fun.  It's also great having a sister who is a junior with an apartment and knowing upperclassmen for parties. 

This is advice my english teacher gave me this past year (he is 26 i believe)
-School is always first
-take classes early, do your work for those classes right after, you will have your nights free while everyone else is doing their work (plus in the winter skiing after early classes)  Also taking early classes will make it alot easier to adjust to the work life after school.
-Have fun be be smart about everything you do

I don't know how many people are going to like my "take early classes" but I like to get up early in the morning as opposed to 11, so I won't really mind early classes (some days I will haha) even though my earliest class is at 10.

You'll drink more in your first week of college than the rest of your life.

Don't drink to blackout like all the other college idiots.  Drink to have fun.

Like was said, make friends with your RA.

Don't be an idiot like me and not hook up with girls freshman year because "they piss you off" or "they're not your type"

To whoever said don't be friend's with girls, ignore that.  They can be your best asset when it comes to getting with one.  Wingwomen ftw!

Party all youwant but make sure you keep your classes in mind.

Don't be affraid to tell someone to stfu if they're keeping you up all night partying on a tuesday night when you have class at 8am on wednesday.

Live off campus ASAP after freshman year.

You'll meet a TON of new people all of the time.  Use that to your advantage.

Chances are it doesn't it's just kids on here trying to look superior by claiming how much they "drank."  I see tons of BS claims on here all the time.

haha that is very fortunate for you.  I had sex with 3 girls who were all sisters at my school.  One was in grad school, the other a junior, and when their little sister (freshman somewhere else) came to visit and heard i got with her two older sisters, i ended up taking her down too.  CLAIM.

Truth. And don't get the wrong idea about me. I drink very rarely at college. I'm just smart about it so I don't have to throw down $5 when I do drink.

maybe its not an issue because you dont drink a lot, but nobody likes a moocher. i can almost guarentee you that if you (not you kepler, but anybody) are constantly getting free booze off of anybody, they will find out and eventually get pissed off and stop inviting you/get a little ticked when you come. if you do something for the host, than maybe its not an issue (like pay them back in beer, give them rides, etc...) because you both are doing stuff for eachother.

Haha not gonna lie I've mooched off people before. But that's like at parties where I don't give a shit about the people and I know I'm about to leave in an hour and never go back because the people are super lame.

But I drink so little It really shouldn't bother people. I hardly ever get stupid drunk. And if I'm actually at a friend's house then I'll put money in.

I'm basically trying to get across to not just willingly give up your money every time someone says fork over cash for beer money. A lot of times it's just kids trying to make a huge profit off their party that's not even fun in the first place. More money just means more lame parties. I mean I was stupid right as a freshman too. I went to so many house parties that I've never gone back to where I gladly gave over my money to some kid who've I've never seen again. So those times, judge the situation and make the decision whether or not you can just grab a cup sitting on the table and wash it out.

black out every fucking night until you make some major life changing mistake.  then you'll actually learn something for once. 

enjoy getting fucked up for 4 years and then trying to pay off a $90,000 tab.

drink everynight you can because its fun and you dont have to worry about parents or anything.

if you want to do drugs then do them while your in college because thats the only time you will beable to do them, if your looking to get a job after school that is.
