Advice from a college kid.

Believe me, not all knowledge comes from textbooks.
And knowledge of the stupid things generally doesn't come from adults.
So out of the mouth of the college kid...

1. Don't go puddle jumping in fleece lined crocs. The puddle will adhere to them for at least three days.

2. Do not, even under the direst of energy depleted circumstances, drink redbull before breakfast. No matter how early your day is starting and no matter how much you have to get done, as much as being tired is distracting, a tummy ache at 6am is infinitely worse.

3. Treat cafeteria food with extreme caution. If you don't know what it is, best leave it off your bright blue plastic tray.

4. Don't go rabbit catching with dip nets in the rain. And if someone covered in grass stains, mud and bruises tells you that, don't ask why.

5. Don't walk under objects where lots of pigeons sit. Nuff said.

6. It is not neccesary for your rain boots and umbrella to match, but if your umbrella has stripes and your boots have polka dots, your coat should not be plaid.

7. Don't lock your keys in the bathroom. Especially your bathroom key.

8. Don't try to run between the bathroom and your room in a towel, even if your door is 8 feet from the bathroom door, and its an ungodly hour, there will undoubtedly be someone in the hall.

9. Don't get addicted to facebook. And if you don't want everyone on FB to know all the stupid things you do at college, don't make friends with FB addics either.

10. Be a nerd, sleep and study! No matter how much fun midnight puddle jumping, or ultimate dodgeball, or rabbit hunting, or umbrella wars are, you'll look a lot better in the morning, and you won't have to wonder if you failed your quiz on salad dressings if you just assume nerd status and read the text book that weighs more than you and go to bed.
