Here's an article I want to share with you:

Tips for College

Enjoy!

7. Make friends with people in your classes. This will save you come finals.

This is an important one.

30. Invest in a great pair of headphones so you can be a good roommate and you can shut out the sounds of your roommate's snoring and/or Dawson's Creek DVDs.

This is consideration and is important.

31. Don't drink too much caffeine. When you pass a certain point, you might as well be President Bush back in his college days.

Who da wha?    I Don't know what they're talking about here.

33. Go to class! Then you don't have to do the reading.

Depends on the class, some you do have to do the reading and some you don't; just judge for yourself which ones. Also goes with if you should buy the book for the class. Some you can get away with using the libraries books others you will need to buy the book. You won't be the only one thinking "I'll just use the book in the library".

I can't say too much about dorm life since my stay at colloge was only when I had classes. I commuted from home to school and back home.

This is obviously a joke, as there is no such thing as "too much caffeine".

They also forgot the rule "Have an ass-kicking calculator"

HP 41C ftw!

(Though TI-89 Titaniums are pretty cool...)

I've got an 89Ti (Got it cheap), and a HP 49G+ as my primary calculators. I mainly use the 89Ti as a "Can I use your calculator" calculator. For my scientifics, I use the 41CV. I also have a HP28S, mainly to show off.

"You can take any calculator you like to the midterms, as long as it doesn't dim the lights when you turn it on."

"You can take any calculator you like to the midterms, as long as it doesn't dim the lights when you turn it on."

yep. Make sure you take one that will short out the electric grid for 9 blocks in any direction.

Another one they forgot- quarters are gold.

19. Avoid both phone and computer while intoxicated. When you stumble in late-night, just keep walking. Just because your ex has been "idle" for 12 hours doesn't mean they're with someone else—except that it does.

Not just good for college, good forever, I don't want to try to count the 'sorry i was drunk last night' appologies after a drunk rant I seen over the years.

I'm reminded, by the intoxication, no doubt, of an email I got recently - from my Dad, no less.


Seems Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Valentines party. He's not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home.

As bad as he is feeling, he wonders if he did anything wrong. He has to force himself to open his eyes, and the very first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose!

Jack sits up, and sees his clothing in front of him, all cleaned and pressed. He looks around the room, and sees that it is all in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a -huge- black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note handing on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick!:

"Honey, breakfast is on the stove. I left early to go get groceries to make you for favourite dinner tonight. Love you, darling! Love, Jillian."

He stumbles to the kitchen, and, sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspapre. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son... What happened last night?"

"Well, you came home after 3am, drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door."

Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean, I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"

His son replies, "Oh THAT! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, lady, I'm married!"
