Well, everyone, it's the start of a new semester. Summer vacation has come and gone and now college students around the country have started to return to their respective campuses for the start of the fall semester. The beginning of a new school year can be daunting and scary for some, so here are some tips on what not to do to get at the beginning of the semester, as you settle into your classes and figure out which nights you can and can't get blackout drunk.

It is highly recommended not to talk to anyone until at least the third or fourth week of the semester.

Don't even think about meeting people or making new friends until you have settled into your new schedule and feel comfortable with your classes. Otherwise, the new people that you have mistakenly spoken to will undoubtedly become a gigantic distraction to you and your studies, causing you to be unable to focus on your classes which will undoubtedly prevent you from studying or completing any homework.

This will then set you up for failure throughout the rest of the term. In short, if you try to make new friends during the first few weeks of the semester, you will fail all of your classes and be forced to drop out of school. Of course, this is not guaranteed to happen, but it is the most likely scenario.

It is important not to miss any classes during the beginning of the school year, because if you miss one, you will be tempted to miss another, putting you on a vicious path of missing class after class.

The best way to ensure that you don't miss any classes is to not sleep at all during the first few weeks of the school year. If you don't sleep at all, you can't oversleep, which will ensure that you don't miss any classes as a result of napping or sleeping in, a mistake that many poor college students have made time and time again.

If you start to feel tired, just drink a large amount of caffeine and you will be perfectly fine. Each college student should be averaging approximately 10 energy drinks per day for the semester's first few weeks. If you really need to sleep, do it on the weekends, but you should still try your best not to.

Also, it is generally best not to have any mental breakdowns during the first few weeks of the semester. Save that for later in the semester, during midterms and, of course, final exams. You will have plenty of time to scream, cry and mentally break down as the year progresses, so do your best to try and refrain from doing so for the first few weeks.

Basically, do nothing at all except go to class during the beginning of a new semester. When in doubt, don't do it. You will be glad later when you are acing all of your classes. Everyone else might be out having fun and taking advantage of one of the most worry-free times in their lives, but you should save the fun for later on when you have a better understanding of how the new semester will go. At that point, you can make all the poor decisions you want, such as sleeping in and meeting new people.
