<p>LOL. PLEASE, friends draw on faces all the time: IMPORTANT ADVICE KIDS: DO NOT pass out with your SHOES ON, this is express permission that you can draw on body parts. lol good times when a homie wakes up and yellls when he realizes his whole body's been turned to an easel
haha goood times</p>
<p>Speaking from experience, punkdude?</p>
<p>AUlostchick....i'm a girl....although i dont remember drawing on any female friends in places other than arms and face. guys...well they usually take their shirt off (and sometimes pants) in a drunken spell just before they pass out so it's easy access to draw whatever you want on them.</p>
<p>but there are certain friends i would NEVER draw on, because i know that they would be beyond furious. they would go ape s*** if they were drawn on. luckily only a few are like that, and the rest wake up and laugh it off.</p>
<p>maybe it's just me then. I don't know any of my girl friends that would draw on other girl friends. Maybe they would draw on guys. I would never draw on any of my FRIENDS (people I didn't like, oh yes. sweet revenge.). I think it's mean. It's like that thing in middle school where the first one to fall asleep at the slumber party gets shaving creamed. It's stupid and immature.</p>
<p>luckily, i'm not big on drinking. and i'm always careful to remove my shoes. but man...there's something rewarding about drawing a huge phallus on someone's cheek or writing "BALLS" on a forehead, backwards so they can read it in the mirror.....lol....anyone ever see garden state?</p>
<p>Dont drink to much, it screws you up....never take shots, they sneak up on you.</p>
<p>the other day we were doing shots with powerade and it tasted so good that we down them pretty fast, lets just say we were pretty sh8tfaced right after.</p>

"Study alone."
Heck no.

uhm why not? Some people study better in groups, some don't. I tend to get distracted or distract other people from studying. SO it's just your own choice.</p>
<p>I like taking shots and having that BAM feeling hit you, and all of a sudden you are DRUNK. Of course, I haven't done that in a while. But it's pretty fun every now and then. My birthday's coming up and I plan on getting massively sh-tfaced. However, my party will be in my own apartment so I can do that. Very short distance to my own bed, you see.</p>
<p>i don't like getting too drunk. that's what i love about blazing, u never get that....dizzy, stumbly feeling, u just fall a sleep at worst.</p>
<p>what makes alcohol so dangerous is that you can't tell ur effed up. with any other drug theres a definable point where you go..."man...i am ****ed up....i am in no condition to be moving, i'm gonna stay here and stare at this carpet for a while...."
how many times on a friday night do you see someone goin..."gimme ma keyshhh...i'm swear to drunk i'm not god.....i'll kick ur assh, me and jack'll kicka ur ashh..." and so on, and then wakign up and feeling like poop. i'd much prefer a good sleep after a nice toke....but every so often a good mash up makes for a funny story.</p>
<p>lol, I always know when I'm drunk, but I'll give it to you, some people don't. I'm one of those people that will be like, "HOLY SH-T I AM TRASHED THIS IS PROBABLY BAD. Oh well. WHEEEEEEE." Of course, I'm that girl that starts crying uncontrollably for no reason when I hit a certain point too. Fortunately, I don't hit that level very often or no one would ever want to be around me while I was drinking.</p>
<p>"uhm why not? Some people study better in groups, some don't. I tend to get distracted or distract other people from studying. SO it's just your own choice."</p>
<p>At any rate it's bad advice to give in general, since MOST would benefit from a good study group.</p>
<p>There are numerous studies that have found that making goals and writing them down increase exponentially the probable achievement of those goals.</p>
<p>Make an "I intend to:" list. Suggestions could include grades like, to have no less than a 3.0 first semester. Health, like to execise 5 days a week and/or to weigh within 2 lbs of my staring weight at the end of my freshman year.</p>
<p>Explore options and opportunites early on. To decide what to put on the list, really investigate what your school has to offer. My S' s school has several different program opportunities that require that you know about them and take affirmative steps starting the freshman year. If you don't know and act timely, you can lose those opportunities.</p>
<p>Admittedly, some students already have developed these habits. But, if you don't uniformly spend the time to find out all that is available (i.e., you are rather passive and let things "come to you"), you need to start doing so in college. In HS, the administration usually attempts to get the word out to the student and parents. In college, the information is made available to those that care enough to check into it. You can miss a lot of things by failing to check it out.</p>
<p>And, as the other posts indicate, procrastination is a major problem for the new adult student. Making those lists can be (and appartently usually is) a great way to get you on track and keep you there.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Know your alcohol limit or you will run into issues. Usually the issues are small, but sometimes horrible things can happen.</p></li>
<li><p>Reach out and make friends, and do it early. A lot of people you meet early on wind up being your usual group, I've noticed. If you meet many people, you'll do yourself a huge service. Don't limit yourself here. </p></li>
<li><p>Don't listen to your academic adviser. They usually operate on the soft side -- "Don't strain yourself, this is college, adjust first! Take it easy, etc," but doing so means you'll have to rush and stress later to compensate once you realize what you need to do. Talk to older students who you wish to emulate and figure out what they're doing.</p></li>
<li><p>If there's free food, be there, or you're retarded.</p></li>
<li><p>You might be the smartest damn thing to ever have walked your high school's halls, but in harder colleges you no longer have that kind of security. Braggarts don't make too many friends in college -- you appear tacky. There's this girl I know who always managed to slip in her SAT score into conversation, and I can tell you now, people got tired of her constant self-praise. Learn to humble yourself.</p></li>
<li><p>Academics are important, but so is your social life. It is tempting to skip class once in a while, and that's fine. But make sure you know what you're missing. Go out once in a while with friends. </p></li>
<li><p>To those that are carrying over a relationship from high school: Unless you and your girl/boyfriend are exceptionally well-connected and are able to talk about issues and come to logical conclusions better than the majority of other couples, things most likely won't work out. College is where most high school relationships go to die. Sad truth, but it's just what happens, so prepare for the possibility.</p></li>
<li><p>Leave campus once in a while, explore the surroundings.</p></li>
<li><p>If you don't know how to do laundry, learn.</p></li>
<li><p>Buy LOTS of things when you leave to college. Trust me, being minimalist will just result in you needing to go buy more things later when you realize you need them. College is resource-intensive and expensive. Bring everything you see yourself <em>possibly</em> using, and you'll be glad you did</p></li>
<li><p>If you have a car, make sure you have spare jumper cables.</p></li>
<li><p>Get a laptop</p></li>
<li><p>Keep in touch with your parents.</p></li>
<li><p>Leave the high school drama in high school. This is college now -- start fresh. How often in life do you get another chance to do this?</p></li>
<li><p>Surround yourself with good people. </p></li>
<li><p>Don't do stupid things early on.</p></li>
<li><p>If you have sex, make sure the door is locked and any roommates will not be back for a while. At that, don't mess with your roommate's stuff (not cool).</p></li>
<li><p>Have a hobby or two</p></li>
<li><p>Don't cram last minute. If you have to cram, cram at least two/three times at regular intervals inbetween tests. For instance, instead of: Start course, cram before midterm, midterm, cram before final, final, instead do: Start course, cram maybe two weeks later, cram again before midterm, midterm, cram maybe two/three weeks later, cram again before final, final. </p></li>
<li><p>Nobody is going to come to you asking if your life is okay. If you have something you want done or want addressed, you need to be aware of your surroundings and resources in order to seek the help you need.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>My goodness how did I forget #4 above! You can save a LOT of money by attending meetings and seminars and stuff and having the free pizza (FREE PIZZA!) afterwards. Good advice all around.</p>
<p>Go to all your classes??? rofl</p>
<p>I say go to the classes you need to. Some classes there is no point in going because they either A) read word for word off the pp that are posted online B) say the exact same stuff as your book says</p>
<p>I usually can decide which classes I need to go and which ones I dont by the end of the 2nd/3rd week of school. Some classes are really easy and there is no reason to go to class unless you really dont have anything else better to do, and some classes if you dont go, you are screwing yourself over. Like i ALWAYS go to my science classes, they are vital, but I have never gone to any of my econ classes (and i got A's in al of them). </p>
<p>I mean I have better things to do than waste time sitting in class for an hour not learning anything</p>
<p>And socially, be very friendly, and dont act stuck up/*****y, because it WILL get around, even in a large campus. In college, most people like to have fun and meet new people, so be friendly and nice!</p>
<p>helpful thread</p>
<p>am I the only person who can't go to page 5?</p>
<p>Interesting. I also can't go to page 5.</p>
<p>Must be a fidelius charm.</p>
<p>I HAVE A QUESTION!:</p>
<p>So, like most teenagers, I like to sleep in. However, as we know, sleeping in comes with a price: a big loss of time. So, my question is: ** though waking up early sucks, is it a good idea to schedule 8am classes to MAKE us get up early, and therefore have the whole day to be productive?** I never missed a class in high school to sleep, so I don't really know if this is a big deal or not.</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
