When people tell you that college is the best time of their lives, they are absolutely serious. I spent last year at school and had too good of a time so I am not returning this yer
Make sure to have fun, lots of it, but only after you have finished your homework.
Right now all my friends from RIT (Rochester Institute of Tech.) are returning to school and I would give anything to be back there with them and with the parties (and my girlfriend
).
just remember why you are there: to learn. After you remember that, remember that your parents aren't anywhere near by and make sure to try anything and everything that comes your way (unless the chances of death are aboth 75%).
The more crazy shit you do in school the less crazy shit you will do out of school. Take full advantage of it.
Oh, and you may want to look into joining a fraternity. They are not like what you see in the movies. My fraternity kept a huge record of all old tests and papers submitted by the brothers. It helps out a lot. The best fraternity to join is Tau Kappa Epsilon.
BTW, I never in my life thought I would join a fraternity but when I actually saw what went on in one I realized that it was the best way to work through school. If you have any questions regarding fraternity life feel free to PM me and I will try my best to give you the most unbiased info possible.
