According to Chef, "there is a time and place for everything...and its called college." Here are ten tips that I thought may help college students:
1. DON'T GET A CREDIT CARD: This was probably the biggest mistake that I made in my life. Credit cards are so easy to use and you don't realize how quickly those bills add up. College is a tough thing that will put you through some stress, and buying things (especially without actually having to deplete your bank account-at first) can be a great stress relief. Just watch out that the credit wave doesn't crash hard over your naive head.
2. LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS: I still don't do this, but they always seem to be right. I don't know how the fuck this happens, but it always does, making me wish that I listened to them in the first place. I guess the goal of every parent is for their children to avoid the mistakes that they made, but the children are too stupid to realize that until after the fact.
3. ITS A COLLEGE: MOST GIRLS ARE 18!!!:: This isn't always the case, as I have recently met two college students who are 17 and 16, but the majority of college students are of legal age, which will make guys at parties not have to check IDs before finding a girl stupid enough to bed down with them.
4. FRATS ARE FOR DICKS: Enough said.
5. OPEN LEGS WISELY: This is advice for both girls and guys. A trip to the doctor's is never a fun thing.
6. TALK TO YOUR TEACHERS: Teachers are there to help you. They want their students to succeed. Any student that enjoys failing their students should be hung by their lower intenstines (there are teachers that will challenge you by giving you a lot of hard work, only to make you a better student). Make sure your teachers know your name by participating in class and talking to them after class, especially if it is a subject that you might like to make a career out of. By getting to know you and your skills, the teacher will think of you if a job ever comes across their desk, or you could use them as a reference for future jobs and Grad School.
7. BEING ON A SITE LIKE THIS MAY HELP PAY FOR BOOKS, BUT ITS PROSTITUTION: I believe the definition of prostitution is girls (or guys) having sex (usually with strangers) for money, which fits sites like this to a T.
8. COLLEGE IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL: People mature a lot the summer before they go to college. The cliques are gone and people are generally friendlier, as they don't have the back up of their high school croonies to pick on people.
9. UNDERSTAND THAT A DEGREE DOESN'T GUARANTEE YOU TO RICHES, THE JOB YOU WANT, OR A JOB AT ALL: Finding a job is a very difficult thing. Jobs want experience, but in order to get experience, you need to have a job. Its the ultimate Catch 22, and one of the most frustrating fucking things that I have ever gone through.
10. FUCK THE RULES: What the fuck do I know? These are just some suggestions for you to enjoy or ignore at your own discretion (or risk). Just be yourself, but really try to avoid getting a credit card.
