<p>“Also…“all you can eat” buffet style dining hall means doesn’t mean eat it all.”</p>

<p>I learned that you have to STUDY!</p>
<p>I learned that most frat boys have zero appreciation for Edgar Allan Poe.</p>
<p>If he looks like a frat boy, smells like a frat boy, walks like a frat boy, and talks like a frat boy, chances are he’s a frat boy. Despite the fact that he’s walking around the freshmen quad at 1 AM claiming to live there. And you won’t know the truth until you’ve had an hour long conversation with him and subsequently realize he’s in your economics class. Awkward.</p>
<p>Don’t lend your skirt to a drunken bro for his Halloween costume. He will wear it. Sans underwear.</p>
<p>I learned that if you’re a guy and have any sense of respect or maturity, girls will not be interested in you.</p>
<p>^Yes they will, it’s only the obnoxious ones who are obvious about it anyway.</p>
<p>haha i would have to disagree with BrekfastChampion.
thats the sort of guy i am interested it.</p>
<p>btw love this thread!</p>
<p>Instead of studying an hour the night before a test like I did in high school. Now I have to study for at least three hours the night before a test to get the same grades I did in high school.</p>
<p>Study groups suck for anything not related to math. My advisors lied to me.</p>
<p>I should have taken more AP classes in high school. I was 3 hours away from being classified as a sophomore and registering earlier than all the other freshmen.</p>
<p>Everclear burns your throat like crazy.</p>
<p>College is freaking amazing, like one semester-long party.</p>
<p>I was completely right about avoiding classes early in the morning. I had a good time laughing at my friends with 8 AM classes while I got plenty of sleep and felt wonderful during the day. </p>
<p>There’s actually not nearly as much work as I was led to expect, and plenty of free time to hang with friends!</p>
<p>Finding friends based on actually having things in common, not just proximity/convenience, makes for much stronger relationships.</p>
<p>Southern Comfort is delicious.</p>
<p>Engineering is hard.</p>
<p>I like Pokemon a lot.</p>
<p>And, oh, read the chapter before the lecture. Seriously. I’m not kidding. READ it.</p>
<p>Use RateMyProfessor more often. While some students do leave bad reviews because they got bad grade, there are many more who give an honest review. I used that website a good amount to choose my classes this year.</p>
<p>Even a 10AM class is too early for me.</p>
<p>And if a bunch of people tell you that a professor is terrible/hard, don’t think you’re special. That professor will be hell for you too.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The greatest insight I have ever heard.</p>
<p>Get work done. That’s what’s gotta happen. </p>
<p>I spent hours working in the dorm and socializing when I could have gotten the same amount done in the library in half the time. I’m going to try to remember this and get my work done ahead of time, and then socialize and distract everyone else. </p>
<p>Also, you gotta start getting those connections. Find the people who can help you and use them. It sounds funny/bad when I say it, but I believe it to be true.</p>

<li>studyhacks is god</li>
<li>If your class is useless and doesn’t help at all, ALWAYS STILL GO, but just study yourself during class. </li>
<li>NEVER SKIP CLASS.</li>
<li>I use google calendar to plan my week out in advance now to avoid massive work pile-ups.</li>
</ol>
<p>Life is good.</p>
<p>Love this thread.
A lot of you guys are saying not to take early classes and that sounds extremely appealing to me since my high school begins at 7:20. But I’m really worried I’ll somehow be sleeping my life away if I’m not up with the sun. Haha does anyone have an opinion on this?</p>
<p>My DiffEq professor told us at graduation that he learned: “Washing your neck every morning allows you to wear your shirts many more days without having to put the shirts in the wash.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Woah. What’s the logic behind this?</p>
