Well, this Sunday I'm going to have my first taste of College, as that's when I have to go there for band camp. And right after band camp ends, which is around Friday of next week, school starts. And I don't know why, but I just have anxiety about it. You know, anxiety about walking around the universities huge campus and stuff, worrying I won't be able to find my classes and stuff. Heck, even a little worry that I might even get lost. I mean, I am kind of pumped for the football games and meeting new people and all that stuff, but there's still the anxiety. So does anyone have any tips on getting OVER this?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Get a map of the campus, know where stuff is before you NEED to know where it is.
My first few months I had no idea where the **** anything was or where I was going. Campus was bad enough, but the surrounding area and nearest city were even worse. Luckily I mostly hung with kids that had been there a little while so I didn't have to locate much on my own.
You can always just walk out the door and see where you wind up. That's usually enjoyable in an unfamiliar place.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Dont be afraid at all! If you were the Loser in highschool no one knows that, you can start from strach, and be the guy with all the girls. Seriously the girls are horny as **** and its like shooting fish in the barrel. Youll have a blast man.
