Advice for a college freshman

[Fenix94]

I move in to my dorm in two days, and I'm curious if there's any advice the brotherhood has to offer me about college life.

Advice on what? Academics? Women? Living on your own? Please post a little about yourself (personality/interests etc) and what you're looking for advice about.

In the meantime, I can give you a few general tips:

Participate. Be involved. Go out and build up social circles. Join groups, clubs, sports, or maybe even a frat if that's your thing. The more friends and connections you have, the better you have it socially and emotionally. Sports will keep you fit and help you avoid the "freshman 15". Plus, being involved will help you meet more girls.

Meet more girls. Be their friend. Don't worry about the "friend zone" in college. Your female friends will at some point be down to bang it out with you as long as you aren't a complete chump beta. Believe it.

Take school seriously. With a little studying on weeknights, you should be able to get A's and B's in most of your classes, except possibly if you are in engineering or other very rigorous programs. Once you put that money down for classes, if you squander it, you'll never get it back.

Take it easy with the partying. Know when enough is enough. Don't let some bad decisions fuck up your future.

Have some style. Don't just be the average "college dude" with the wrinkled polo/tshirt, leather flip flops, shaggy hair and nasty-ass old hat. Have something that makes you easily stand out from the rest of the bros.

I move into my dorm in 5 days myself. From the info I've gathered myself: basically just get INVOLVED on campus, DO NOT stay tucked away in your dorm. Remember this is your time to shine playa so make the most of it.

First week of college is the easiest time to get laid in your life and everyone is looking to find someoen to hook up with and most people don't know a lot of other people. Great move is to throw a party in your room and invite as many hot chicks as you can find, and all the girls on your floor because they will likely bring some hot chicks they know as well...

Also as a freshman, make sure you are REALLY cool with one of the upperclassmen that has a car(think alcohol runs on Friday night...) Some will make you give them some money for doing you the favor, but a lot of times they will let you come along and hook you up for free if you are cool with them...either way, make it happen cap'n...

Ooh, I like this post!

Okay, here's some advice I wish I had known when starting college. You will meet many girls who will tell you all about their boyfriend back home, how much they miss them, can't wait to see them again, blah blah blah.

You will hear this and think you do not have a shot with these girls... yet, in truth, these are the EASIEST GIRLS TO SCORE WITH.

I had so many girl "friends" my freshman year who gave me this story, yet by November 80% of them had broken it off with their bf back home. Why? 'Cause they figure out that LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS ARE BULLCRAP.

Eventually, they'll want someone closer to them that can hold them, talk to them, and bang the shiznit out of them. That person, my friend, CAN be you, if you just move pass the smokescreen.

Granted, it's slightly easier if you go after girls who are aren't attached to anyone. BUT, if you start noticing that a girl who claims she has a bf back home is giving you flirty signals or rubbing up on you, it means she's DTF. All you have to do is make her not feel so guilty about "cheating" on her bf - in fact, it's better if you start riling her up with kino, then say something like "oh, it's just not right, you have a bf... I really should go" and cut it off completely. She's more likely to jump YOUR bones at that point!

For you guys that went to college I got a simple question. Yes or no to frats?

Get involved!!! Even if it's something stupid that you wouldn't normally do. Do it. Join clubs, fraternities, go to events. Not only is this good for socializing and meeting girls, it looks great on your resume for grad school/career. If you are living in a dorm go out and meet everyone! Everyone will be looking to go out the first weekend so be the guy that gets everyone together. Get people's numbers and eventually they will be texting YOU to find out what's going on. Find out about parties. Get ratios so you can get into fraternities.

The first few weeks everyone will be meeting each other and seeing what type of social circles they are going to form. Be friendly with EVERYONE!!! Girls will be looking to get laid. Many will be looking for fvck buddies. Even if they say they have boyfriends it doesn't even matter half the time.

Freshman year is a blast and it's usually when you will be forming your social circle for the rest of your college career. Don't hide in your dorm room or play video games on Friday nights. If you are normally shy then force yourself to get out there. I know I had to.

Of course take your work seriously but don't stress yourself out. Undergrad for me anyway was more play than work but I still worked very hard to get good grades. Grad school is the complete opposite. Work out and exercise. Gym memberships is one of the best perks of undergrad.

Be prepared to have the best 4 years of your life!

I wound up joining a frat and it was a mixed experience. I had a lot of fun with those guys but it was a lot of money and we weren't the most established frat on campus. If you want to join a frat make sure it's a quality fraternity. Don't go for a fraternity just because it parties hard. Make sure it has other great qualities, and make sure you like the brothers and can see yourself hanging out with them.

Also be sure it's an established and respected fraternity that has good ties with sororities.

Other than that I'd say fraternities are definitely a plus.

1. Fake it until you make it. You be the most confident dude even if your not.
2. Take no disrespect from noone. Check the slightest disrespect from anyone!
3. Focus on academics. My freshman year I got the worst GPA of my life.
4. Be the first to smash the sluts!

Lol so it's move-in day, I'm set and got these chill roommates so there's a lot of promise. Everyone seems focused on getting moved in today though, but I can almost guarantee there's a party going down either tomorrow night or a little later in the week. Haha, they say the first week is the easiest to get laid, so let's hope that's true here as well. Gonna make some shyte happen.
