I'm almost done with my freshman year, and I somewhat feel like I've got this whole college thing down. There are a couple of things that I've noticed that would help college students everywhere become more successful.
1. Do your laundry at an ungodly hour.
Nine floors of college freshmen, and only one laundry room? Its like a battle field, every person for themselves. If you wait till about 1 or 2 in the morning, all of the washers and dryers are open. Who needs sleep anyway? ( lets be honest, you're doing homework anyway.)
2. Don't have any friends.
If you don't have any friends, you will actually be able to finish your homework at a decent time.
3. Take showers at an ungodly hour.
It's the only way to assure that you have hot water, and good water pressure. Plus, an added bonus is most people wont be taking a shower super late at night. The trick is to time your shower late enough that no one will be there but, not too early into the night that people might be getting ready for an early class.
4. Make sure you press the right button on the elevator.
This one seems dumb, but anything is possible. I cant tell you the amount of times I've pressed for the first floor, only to realize I'm in the elevator, already on the first floor.
5.Don't be a jerk on the elevator.
Don't be that person that presses all the buttons right before they get off the elevator. it's a living nightmare for the next person who gets on.
These are just a couple of the things that I've learned and observed during my short time experiencing the college life. All of suggestions are supposed to be taken light hearted as every person's college experience is going to be different. Along with that, over your college career, things will change and you will find that things that didn't use to work before suddenly work and vice versa. So remember to be nice. Remember to take deep breaths. As cheesy as it may sound, follow your heart. Take pride in knowing that you're going to change over these four years, and hopefully it will be for the best. If there is ne thing yu cant take away form this, please let it be #5.
