1. You will see that random guy/girl you hooked up and/or danced with over the weekend every single place you go. In these situations, it is best to just go ahead and say hello. You are both doing a horrible job of pretending you didn't see each other.
2. Because you tend to hang out with people that are similar to you, you could very easily end up liking the person. At that point, you must discuss the situation maturely with your friend and come to a conclusion that will leave you at ease. I tend to go with the “may the best man win” solution. If both parties agree, it can end up as a small defeat without anyone's feelings hurt.
3. And when you break up, you will have to continue to see them at all the popular locations around school. When this happens, it shows how emotionally strong people are forced to be because they really can’t get away from the ex-significant other. Situations like this force you to grow up and act maturely, so you do not cause a scene that WILL be remembered.
4. You may trip and fall and that’s OK. Just know that you will be teased for the next 24 hours about it. Because you see people around campus multiple times a day, it creates an easier opportunity for them to see the trip and continually make fun of you. It forces you to have a lighthearted sense of humor about said situations.
5. Your phone/computer will make a very loud ring in the library or during class when it is dead silent. It will be awkward for about five minutes, then nobody will remember that it happened because they are too stressed about whatever it is that they are working on.
6. You will more than likely be late to class a couple of times. When you walk in the door and everyone stares at you, just walk around the back of the room and take your seat. Nobody really cares; they are actually excited to have something disrupt the lecture.
7. Whatever class you are taking, chances are high that someone you know who is older has taken it, too. Do yourself a favor and ask them for any help they can provide. They might have old notes, tests, study guides, ways to suck up to the teacher, or even just tips.
8. Everyone messes with each other on Yik Yak. So if your name is on Yik Yak, DO NOT get offended. It’s people trying to get a reaction out of you. It could very well be a compliment; if so, say thank you!
9. Due to sheer numbers, you will most likely know someone who has slept with the same person that you have slept with. Instead of making it weird, just acknowledge that you are both thinking it and share the bond. You really do have to laugh at yourself in situations such as this.
10. Throw up at a fraternity house? It happens. The best way to handle that situation is to first help clean it up, apologize, and then make fun of yourself. People will remember it for a week tops before something else takes the attention off you.
The trick is to keep a lighthearted, mature attitude and laugh off embarrassment. If you do this, you WILL have the time of your life.
