I think its that time of year again. Yes, that time of year where I begin to add to my college tips section. Now, anticipating college freshmen can have a clue as to what this entire college game is about. I mean sure, your parents have been giving you there opinion, and some of your friends have been giving you the half-assed friend version of what college is, but wouldn’t you like it from someone who doesn’t know you?
Ok…I’ll admit that sounded a bit weird.
In case you don’t know me by now… some people call me Dar, and I’ve been going to a University (for a while now). If you’ve got ANY questions feel free to ask them, and I’d be more than willing to answer them. I’d keep rambling on about myself, but there is an about page for you to learn all about me.
So to start the summer of tips off right I thought I’d google college images, and give you tips from the photos I see.
Watch Out:
With a campus full of a mixture of lunatics, immature idiots, drunkards, and almost every other type of stereotypical class of people you’d better watch out. Don’t be too surprised , the moment your parents have left, to see some of the most random things you have ever seen in your life. Prepare yourself for prankings now… n fact, arm yourself with a few pranks of your own.
Don’t be this Girl
You’ll get to college and their will be many parties, but make sure you’re not the idiot who parties the hardest. I know there will probably be many people getting drunk all around you, but that doesn’t give you the excuse to attempt to out drink them all. I’m not saying don’t drink, but KNOW your limit. The last thing you want is the reputation of the guy/girl who was passed out in a garbage can in front of the History Building. You also don’t want your parents having to bail you out because you are a minor in posession or a drunk in public. If you’re going to go to a party be smart:
1) Bring a friend or a few friends.
2) If you’re going to drive designate a driver who takes sober driving seriously.
I’m so serious…The person who is driving should not be the drunk person who is the least drunk.
3) The designated driver should be wary of all drinks handed to him/her at party. Bring your own water and keep it with you.
4) Designate a time to stop drinking alcohol and start drinking water. Like an hour before you want to go…So you can sober up a little bit.
Next week, I’m going to try to write a party-tips section.
Professors are Weird
Sometimes your professors are the weirdest of them all. Some have been in college longer than you and I have been in school. When they do something that is on the nutty side (and many of them will),don’t be too weirded out by it…just go with it. See, how that kid taking notes isn’t phased by what is going on.
I’d like to note some of the cooky proffessors I’ve encountered:
One professor hated more than 3 questions within 15 minutes. She would get pissed off at the class after three questions, call us spoiled, and say we didn’t want to learn. She would then stop talking, walk to her desk and sit down. Creating an oddly uncomfortable silence between the class and her. It was always the 4th question that pissed her off, and yet even after I explained this to the class… some students just didn’t understand her 3 question weirdness.
My friend had a proffessor whose office was nothing but stacks and stacks upon paper, the papers had a small little pathway to the professor’s desk, if his office chair was angled in the right direction he would be able to sit at his cluttered desk. There was another tall stack of paper pathway leading to the seat in front of his desk. If you were skinny enough to fit between the tall stack of paper pathways and make it to the desk, you would notice that the office smelled like smoke. Professors aren’t allowed to smoke. Which made me wonder if he filled the office with paper so he could smoke, or the tall stacks of paper were un related to the secret smoking.
I had a professor who had been recently promoted from Grad student to professor and was offered a desk in the department office (where all of the professor’s offices are). Upon being offered a movement of office he began stuttering and shaking his head. He’d been a grad student to long. He simply just couldn’t move from his beloved grad student office. So, he has his same crammed desk in the corner of the grad student office now for about 10 to 20 years after he became a professor. I’d like to note…that I think its time for him to move.
