Hey everybody

I'm going to college next year so I would like you to offer some tips on the following:

- college social life
- college academics
- balancing your life
- staying in shape
- anything else you wanna talk about

yea so basically I searched but only found social life tips and little anecdotes. share your stories and anything THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE OR DO DIFFERENTLY if you had a SECOND CHANCE. I think I can learn from you guys. thanks

Make friends with alot of people, but, try not to take sides or been seen as "one of that group". This way you'll be able to check girls from lots of different groups.
This can also help to set you apart from people, and make people see your time as rare, and so won't think of you as a piece of the social furniture.


Practice your DJ stuff from the word go, so people can get used to it.

And put college work (and let people know you do this) before everything else. Before friends and girls ect. People actually thought I was cool because of this.

If you just go to class and care a little bit, that puts you ahead of 80% of the other students. Anyone can party in college. Smarter people party it up and still have a high enough gpa to get into grad school. I knew lots of kids who were gone after one semester, because they never went to class and flunked out. Even if you have no idea about life after college, keep you gpa high and you will keep as many doors open for yourself as possible.

Normal cafeteria food will make you fat. I gained 20 pounds the first semester, and lost about 30 the next semester after I found the healthy food line in the cafeteria.
