It’s been a few weeks into the new academic year, so in case you are new to college or just need some refreshers.

The library. Noise level - Whisper

1. I don’t know what’s so hard about whispering at the library, like if you are going to talk loud go outside I have three papers due this week I don’t care what Jessica said about your hair, and I don’t care about that you have so much work to do because guess what…. Me too.
2. Noise level is key. That being said, If I wanted to hear your music I would ask you to play it out loud. I am two seconds away from knocking your teeth in from across the room.
3. You can’t complain about how much work you have to do, you chose that what you are studying. Everyone knows how hard college is, I have a lot of work to do too.
4. Going along with number 3, don’t judge people on what they want to do with their life. Don’t be mad that someone found what they are passionate about and are actually happy with what they are doing.

Laundry

1. Just freaking do your laundry. It’s not hard, and you’ll smell better. If you don’t know how I have a tip for you; wash cold dry medium. That way colors don’t steep and spread to make everything pink.
2. Do yourself a favor and do it when everyone is in a class, or when they are trying to sleep off that wild party last night.
3. One more thing, there isn’t a dress code. If you want to wear sweat pants all day, you can, or you want to wear a suit and tie all day, you can.

In the classroom

1. Okay, so just because the professor doesn’t have assigned seating, doesn’t mean that you can sit in MY SEAT. If you sit in my seat I will think of how many ways to kill you during class.
2. Do the readings, this isn’t high school. Your professor is expecting you to know this information, so they can skip over them and move on to something new. So now you can’t complain about them never teaching something when you didn’t do the reading.
3. If you know the answer, just answer it. If you have a question, just ask it. Things are different now, it doesn’t matter if you are smart, it doesn’t matter if you get it wrong either because then you show you are learning.

General Rules

1. If you see someone you want to talk to, but they have headphones on, DON’T TALK TO THEM. They are busy.
2. I don’t care if you don’t like coffee, I’m going still drink it. I don’t care about how “bad it is for me” I will drink a whole a pot of coffee. I don’t care.
3. Don’t be afraid of starting conversations with people, this is the time to start networking and making the real relationships in your life.

These are nowhere actually official rules. This is mainly a coffee infused rant that sitting in anyone in any public area can see.
