ITT: Give advice to incoming college freshmen

[iCatch]

what the title says^^^

i know this is a great opportunity to randomly chat up girls since everyone's going to be doing it to get to know their fellow classmates.

any more specific advice anyone have?

Like I said in another topic, do ****. Unless your school is like, 90% homebodies and commuters, you're just as new as anyone and just as curious to check random stuff out. After a few minutes of conversation you can easily say something as simple as "hey that hill is cool let's go check it out." Also, don't be the dude trying to define yourself in words. Many people go on this defense of their individuality as soon as they show up, taking lots of opportunities to talk about who they are, where they're from, what they're like... Skip that preamble, just go do things. Sociology wine and cheese? Why not? Buying 24s? Sure! Value Village trip? Great! Decorate your room with ripped-out pictures from magazines you found next to a dumpster. Keep popsicle sticks and glue in your room and announce that it's craft time. It really doesn't matter what you do, as long as you aren't appearing as a try-hard.

There's always a core group of dudes who spend the first 3 weeks trying to find out where the slvts are at, or how many girls they can bang. These guys are talkers. Then there are the guys saying hi to everyone, creating memorable experiences, and likely getting laid at the same time as part of the package.

good stuff man. you gave me a good idea of "just do something" see that hill over there? it looks cool lol that's gold. i would've never thought of things like that. good way to make more conversation as you're walking to the destination or whatever

anyone else?

Be the guy that's friends with everyone. Talk to people as much as you can. People are very receptive in a college environment.

The beginning of college is the easiest way to build social circles. Meet people at orientation, meet people in the dorms on your floor (what I did was just go door-to-door; if people are receptive, be their friend; if not, forget them). Join clubs. Meet people in classes.

There's so much to talk about because you have so much in common with these people.

And yes, exploring a college campus is a great way to meet people and just tons of fun.

Cheers!
