[Heathen]

Keep extra money for tires, stitches, and beer
Call your mom
Don't get attached to your first piece of college pussy
Spend less time on the internet
Buy used books, buy new condoms
Never turn down a free drink
Call your mom.

college != highschool. I never had to actually study a single time in highschool. Ever. College is very very different.

Also, get your classes at the beginning of the week. M-W. Thursday and friday are for dickery, saturday and sunday are for HW/dickery.

[annihilation]

Any plans on what you're gonna do? (in college)

[Cojafoji]

Don't. Fuck. Up.

Don't plan college classes early in the morning if you won't get up. Don't plan them late in the day if your friends enjoy hitting the bars. If you make a schedule, do your absolute fucking best to stick with it.

Trust uncle coja on that one.

Lol yeah... I'm graduating on sunday next week. :0 Oh Well, college here I come!

unless you're going into a university, supporting yourself, and living under your own roof (which you're paying for), you're not heading into the real world quite yet.

It's more real than Highschool.

To fair its not that bad when you do go through it.

One thing I'd say is plan out your next move. Theres no point suddenly rushing and freaking out over it. If your gonna go to college/university then look for places, look at different campuses.

Bills are always more expensive than you think they will be, so be warned.

Game, set, match.


Way to make me feel like a bum D: Oh, and don't be afraid to live at home while going to school. It's way cheaper, your school might do a core to core transfer with a four year uni (if you want to transfer out later), and it allows you to work a job to pay for your schooling. :D

don't get bad grades

This. I live in southern california, pretty much the epicenter of economic fail. Moving out would crush my bank account so fast. fuck, it would crush my parent's bank accounts too.

[SnaFuBAR]

Get off the fucking internet and stop using blogs to skate by for passing grades, you ass.

Just saying.

commuting killed my gpa, of course i was driving 45min one way plus commuting another 35min for work. While i was going to school i was putting nearly 50k m/year on my cars. i probably would have gotten a point higher if i stayed in the dorms. if i know i have to drive i just go ahead and leave when i should stay in the library and get shit done. my best semesters were the ones where i drove straight from school to work because i'd only have a couple hours in between class and work and thus spent the time studying.

[Cojafoji]

If you're gonna fuck up, you're gonna fuck up, regardless of whether or not you have to commute.

Edit: But yes, I know the strain of a 45 minute commute. Though, most of the time I had to just grin and bear it.

IF a teacher can't teach, don't take that class with him/her. Don't depend on easy teachers if you want to learn your shit, unless they "General diversified education courses", in that case, go all out with them.

This.
When I was at college most of my tutors knew exactly what they were doing and pushed you HARD if you got something wrong.
but one tutor, his idea of a lesson was print of wikipedia hand them out and then tell you to got the library while he would go for a coffee and "be in the library in 10 minutes".
The first time he taught us about circuit diagrams he drew the entire circuit upside down because he didn't notice the paper with the circuit he had plagiarized was upside down.
His lessons may have been the easiest but damn we didn't learn anything from him, the other tutors ended up having to teach his stuff in their lessons.
Trust me, you get the harsh teachers and you will learn something, plus when you're finished you will feel like you have accomplished something.
