Success in college can sometimes be hard to come by. There's so much going on all of the time, it's easy to get lost in the chaos. One moment everything is fine and you have all A's and your high school body, the next you're struggling to bring that D up to at least a C+, wondering why your favorite jeans won't zip up all the way. Needless to say, surviving college is hard. The Office characters break down some quick tips to ensure utmost success:
1. Try to leave all of your work until the night before it's due.
That way, all of your motivation will be directed towards your work, and you will be able to get it done faster. Procrastination is always the answer.
2. People love it when you make a scene wherever you go.
They think it's really funny and gain so much respect for you. It really shows how cool you are.
3. Professors encourage you to interrupt their lectures to ask a bunch of irrelevant questions.
That way, they know you're social and interested in engaging with them during class time.
4. Feel free to sleep in on a test day once in a while.
Sleep is a necessity, so if you're not getting enough, skip that 8 AM class that just happens to have a test scheduled for the day. Your professor will understand. They were in college once, too.
5. If you want to play your music on that loud speaker of yours every night - do it.
All of your neighbors will hear it (and I mean all of them, even the fourth floor), and will want to come by and hang out with you.
6. Despite the rumors, you can really eat whatever you want, whenever you want to.
The freshmen 15 really isn't a thing, and I mean you're stressed all of the time, so you have to compensate by eating, right?
7. That being said, don't worry about going to the gym on a regular basis.
Walking around campus will suffice for any exercise you'll need. Going to the gym, as well, looks like you're just trying to be an over-achiever. Besides, you have too much work to do to fit in a gym schedule.
8. Bring your dog to school with you.
The Resident Assistant's love to see all the different dogs in the dorm, you'll start off on a great foot with them right away. And, honestly, having your dog at school with you will be a huge stress reliever.
9. To get your crush to like you, make sure to say the opposite of what you mean/want.
They'll catch on right away, and think it's this really cute game you're playing. They'll actually end up liking you more.
10. Set up your schedule so that you have an 8 am class and a 9 pm class on the same day.
You start your day early and end it super late. That way, you're as productive as possible. Going to bed late and getting up early - what could be better!
11. Don't worry if your bank account is in the negatives, there are really no consequences.
I promise it's really fine. It happens to the best of us. Just don't worry about it and continue to buy things. It'll work itself out.
