We all know and love the classic Nickelodeon show "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide," but have we taken enough time to really look at the tips? In honor of college students everywhere struggling here are 15 of "Ned's Declassified" tips that are just as relevant in college.

1. Tip #305F - Stay together with electives

The Middle School (ahem, college) system will separate you from your friends but you can use your electives to stay together at least once. Plan ahead: pick the same class. It's simple.

2. Tip #503.B - Be ready for surprises

I guess the only way to be really ready for the first day is to realize that nobody's ready.

3. Tip #320A - No class is ever full

No class is ever "full," it just reaches capacity. And to get in, all you need is Tip #320B.

4. Tip #320B - Get teacher approval

Get teacher approval. And a decent speech.

5. Tip #112 - Do whatever you can to stay awake

The Boring Teacher: Always have something in handy that can keep you and the class awake.

6. Tip #338.XU - Don't kiss up, do the work

I know it doesn't feel like it but teachers are people too and if you just do the work or at least try in class, you'll be amazed how much your grades shoot up.

7. Tip #334.3F - When you're sitting with your friends, you are at the cool table

When you're sitting with your friends, you are at the cool table.

8. Tip #987.4 - Home sick? Ask a friend for notes

Avoid falling behind in class and get a classmate to make copies of notes from the days you miss. But make sure that person takes good notes. Or better yet, get someone to video tape the class.

9. Tip #308 - If you're on the wrong end of a rumor, IGNORE IT!

If you're on the wrong end of a rumor, don't panic, just ignore it.

10. Tip #312 - Don't believe rumors and don't spread them

Rumors. Sometimes they're fun but usually they are nothing but trouble. So don't believe them and don't spread them.

11. Double Dating = Less Pressure

Avoid awkward silences with double dating.

12. Ask your teacher about tutor options

Don't beat yourself up. If you have a tutor, it doesn't mean you're dumb.

13. If you fail, don't overreact

Talk to your Guidance Counselor (or adviser, or professor, or TA) for advice on how to pass.

14. Don't get in the way of 8th graders

Walk with your friends in dangerous zones (away from eighth graders and actual college dangers).

15. Tip #309.8.2 - Have fun, don't have super-high expectations and go with the flow

THE FINAL AND MOST IMPORTANT TIP EVER (which was technically Moze's tip all along) Have fun. Don't have super-high expectations and go with the flow.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
