Well, high school is officially over (boy am i glad..) and now im off to college in 4 months. It's been a great 4 years, i have learned a lot and now that i have a clean start in college, im going to put them all in action. I am just wondering if anyone here is kind onough to give me some word of advice in building a good rep while at college. Thanks
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"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.

Just say hi to random people during the first day, they're friendly...trust me(Don't feel bad if ur really nervous, I was...meeting people got rid of it). If someone is rude, that shows their character. You'll be surprised that most will say hi back. And when u see them around campus, they'll remember you. Get to know people in ur dorm hall, ur RAs, RDs, etc(They saved my ass countless times) Especially the females in ur dorm hall(I knew everybody on my floor, including the females. Join a club or hell, a fraternity(Make sure its a good one) College is what you make it. Make sure you have a good time, luckily i have two years left to put all this Don Juan stuff to test w/o regretting it like i did my first year when i gave up too early. Good Luck

Yeah man, immediately start to create a huge social network. Like Hey Jose said, get to know everyone you can, especially those in positions of power (resident advisors, hall directors especially). They're so valuable to anything you do on campus.
My first year, I got involved with hall council, which then turned into working with campus wide groups, which turned into me getting to know some of the most important administrators on campus. Even when I was neck deep in sh*t for stuff I was in (don't ask, long story), I had people there to guard my backand stand up for me, and everything worked out ok.
I'm almost done with my second year, and no matter where I am on this campus, I can almost always find someone I know. There's more than 10,000 people living on my campus, so creating networks is very doable, especially early on.
Oh yeah, think about joining a sports team. Every sport has groupies
