A wise man once said, "High school never ends." But what about middle school? For all of you who thought college was that much different than middle school, this list of tips from Ned Bigby, that still apply today, will make you rethink how far you've really come.

1. "Sit around nice people just in case it is your seat forever."

We all know syllabus week is when you get to class about 10 minutes early because the seats chosen on the first day are permanent, and anyone who messes with the formation gets shunned.

2. "Going across dance floors can be tough. So dance your way through!"

People are much more receptive to being shimmied past rather than being pushed, so keep that in the back of your mind while trying to navigate your way through parties.

3. "If you are sick don't wait, go to the nurse's office immediately."

Health services is full of homies with nursing degrees. As good as you are at diagnosing illnesses, they went to school for this and know more than you do from WebMD and eight seasons of "House".

4. "Make sure your bag is zipped."

You'll make sure all of your papers stay in your bag and you'll also eliminate the awkward feeling you give everyone you pass since no one knows if they should stop you and say something or if they should just let you keep going.

5. "Talk about problems with your friends."

Seeing as now you live next door to most of your friends, open communication is about 10 times more important.

6. "Online quick notes help you keep on track. Note: It is not a replacement for actual reading."

Sparknotes: saving lives since 1999

7. "Grades are important, but not the most important thing in life."

Seriously, at this point you gotta stop stressing about your damn GPA.

8. "The library isn't just for checking out books. You can also make friends in the library."

Nothing brings people together like a common enemy and lack of sleep (@finalsweek).

9. "Wear deodorant."

This one will never not be applicable. Well, unless you're allergic to deodorant but I hear baking soda does the trick!

10. "When you text and walk at the same time, make sure you look forward."

Light posts seem to pop up the second you look away from them, so, beware.

11. "Don't judge someone because of their clothes or face."

My face isn't the prettiest, but my mom says I'm pretty cool so give me a chance!

12. "Always have flash cards handy so you can make any time a study time."

Real talk: flash cards are easy to go through while you're on the elliptical, it saves major time.

13. "Make Monday fun-day."

It's never too early in the week to crack open a new bottle of wine!
