high school and college

TOO MANY MACS

My advice to incoming freshman...

1. Wear a condom. Now you can't depend on the rumor mill to figure out who's clean and who isn't.
2. If you're in the dorms, and you smoke weed, DON'T TAKE THE RISK. You'll feel constantly sketched, and who knows who's a rat and what not.
3. Stock up on food. You're going to get hungry, a lot. Unless you're connected to a cafeteria you're going to have lazy days.
4. No one fucking cares what you wear. Sweatpants will be your best friend.
5. Study. Fucking study. Study your ass off. I breezed past high school thinking I could do the same in college. Long story short: I was wrong. Develop your study habits quick or else it'll come back to bite you in the ass. Hard.
6. Professors couldn't care less about you. Unless it's a classroom setting, i.e. 15-30 students, you'll just be a name to the professor. Introduce yourself in the first class period. Be friendly. Just say "Hi, I'm Derp Derpson and I'm really looking forward to this class." Easy as that. You'll get on their good side, they might call on you in class, and if you impress them, they just might curve your grade a little bit more.
7. Go to class. Yes, you can hit snooze on the alarm clock and no one will shake you violently to get you going. Also, it's a hit or miss on whether or not there's an attendance policy. But surprisingly, you learn shit when you go to class. Shit that ends up helping you on the exams/papers. Oh yeah, and there's hardly extra credit.
8. Get a job. Somewhere, anywhere. Unless you're fortunate enough to have parents that can supply you with a no-limits credit card, you're going to be broke. Have some spending, or better yet, saving money. Time to think about the future, eh?
9. If there's free stuff being handed out, take as much as possible.
10. Get involved with something. Assuming you stay on/near campus. You're going to want to do shit on the weekends. Join organizations, go to sporting events, etc. Make sure you still have time to study, though.
Done

i go to college in august... im kinda scared now

As if you had a girlfriend.

This is too true. It's sad. I'm going on being a Junior in college. I'M GROWING UP WAY TOO FAST!

Definitely the other way around. I think you're doing college wrong.

I think college is easier than high school personally...

This comic speaks the truth.
Oh and the days of having textbooks given to you are over, have fun spending $600 on books at the beginning of the semester.

..first day of High School you had sex?

The thought of Freshmen getting it on makes me queasy.
Also, how do you have time for that, unless you're in remedial classes with a 3.9..

Hm somehow most of this doesn't apply to me, college is way better even though I'm in law school. The only real bad thing is that I didn't have a real vacation last summer (cruse you roman law!), everything else about college life is simply great

That first one is definitely something I didn't expect when I got to college

"Oh shit, late for class... what do I have that's somewhat clean? Let's see here... Gray shirt, Gray shirt, Ripped Long-sleeve, White T-shirt, Undershirt, Track Shorts, Track shorts covered in Paint..."

I go to class every day looking scruffy as hell

Well this is bollocks. Uni has been fucking brilliant.

I'm starting college in the fall...

I can't stress to my HS friends enough to cherish this time. I played water polo in the spring, and our sectional (last) games were always this week. After your last game it all starts to become real that soon, everything you do will be the last time. It may not be a hard change for some, but it's certianly a big one.

I hope no one gives me red thumbs for "blah blah high school sucks and it's boring and college is great". I'm sorry you had a bad time, and I hope college is/will be better for you and you enjoy at least one set of 4 years at school.

But if there's anyone reading this about to graduate, go to school Monday and soak it up. There aren't not many normal days left. It's not a time to be sad, just be aware to remember things you'll want to look back on when you're older.

When I was in highschool, I was planning on dropping out and getting my GED, so I decided to fuck around in my last year of school by trolling my friends and teachers. Now I have my degree and my friends are still in school for another 2-3 years, MFW

my high school experience never went to college i regret many things
