Duh!Â
Besides, in my day they didn't discuss cookies. We called it diving.
Also, persuing a female for the express goal of obtaining the bakery is demeaning and sad. Best friends make the best bakers of goods such as cookies and pie and sometimes doughnuts. They know you, they have similar coomon points of interest, and in the long run, they make more lasting and meaningful relationships.Â
I mean, you can wolf down a box of Nilla wafers (or the store brand fake oreos, bleagh) and just feel kinda sick, but if you make homemade Snicker-doodles or Ginger Snaps with your best girl, the satisfaction of a job well done, and the enjoyment of the flavor are ten times better for both (or all three if you are adventurous, or they have a younger sister).
Etc... Most recently During final scenes of Transformers when Prime says THE line.Â
A reference librarian can help you with your first one, but I reccomend you get a s-t-y-l-e-book at the campus bookstore when you pick up your textbooks and supplies. The bookstore clerks will find one for you.Â
As for how to have the best experience in college:
1. If you already know your major, get to know the folks in that department. Volunteering to help gets you noticed.Â
2. Go Greek only if you have the cash (itss expensive) and if you are sure of your major. Focus your time on school, but party hard when you can.
3. Make a decision about choosing a major as soon as possible. Undecided = 12 years in undergrad and many major changes until you find the right one. Â
Dorm life:
1. Sleep at Night. Not during lecturesÂ
2. No one is forcing you to read the text book, and in fact some profs don't even discuss textbooks, but they expect you to know it for the midterm/final whatever...Â
3. As stated above, Bathrobe, flip flops, ear plugs and night mask to cover eyes when sleeping so roomate can wander in, flip on the light, have sex with a girl and you can get sleep.
4. If you have a spiritual side, stay true to it. College is a time of experimentation and you won't get into trouble if you refuse to do something you are not comfortable with.
5. Get a mac. Trust me, a Macbook saved my life because I can type faster and take notes easier during lecture.Â
6. Get to know your RA and get on their good side. They're more forgiving if you are nice to them (unless you get a total jerk which is fun for pranks).
7. NEVER and I repeat NEVER sleep in the lobby/ common room. This invites death/prans/pans of warm water/ice/permanent makerker penis tatos on the face/beer can sculptures/or other doom.
8. Look for the clubs and organizations you are interested in. A great way to meet gamer chicks is to show up to the gamer club of your college, and talk to the ladies there, even if they're taken, their roomate may not be.Â
Relationships:
1. Get to know your cafeteria, do try new stuff DON't over eat (it's called freshman 15 because students eat what they want and gain weight).
2. Say goodbye to that highschool sweetheart. Most (not all, but most) end up breaking up during Winter break anyway.Â
3. Use protection. Your partner may have been more "experimental" than you think and the computer labs are full of viruses...Â
4. Good people to get to know, Advisor, Reference Librarian, Dept Secretary, and maintenance dudes. When your heat goes out, filling out a form takes weeks, Phone a friend takes a few hours and buying the friend dinner/lapdance or whatever.Â
General College Hints:
1. Do not be afraid to show up to a morning session in a bathrobe. Better to be AT the lecture than late and miss an important thing.
2. Freshman Funk: The stench two freshmen just off the bus from home generate after 3 weeks of not doing laundry. Don't be that guy.Â
3. Anything left in the Lobby/Common room is considered free, but don't trust anything left overnight.Â
4. Party on the first floor. If you fall out a window drunk it won't kill you.
5. Get a bartender's guide and study it. If you don't drink but you do know how to make shooters and mixeddrinks, you get invited to more parties.Â
6. Read sylabus, drop/add courses as soon as possible. Buy Textbooks after the first session Trust me.
Finally remember the reason you are at college.Â
The diploma is the goal, not the 100th sexual conquest (unless you are a psych major)
These words of wisdom are culminated from 13 years of college at various Private and State run institutions.Â
Good luck soldier, Now get your game on.
