quote
there’s a man assigned to me and he checks on my stability. we discuss you every week, then i rinse and rinse, repeat. and he charges by the tear ‘til i weep no more strictly out of fear that i can’t afford your love; and the moon just burns above.

1. snacks are important. if you don’t have copious amounts of snacks in your room at all times, you are going to seriously regret it while trying to finish your art history paper at 3 am on an empty stomach.
2. don’t stick things to the wall unless it’s scotch tape or those weird magic tape strip things. other things tend to peel paint or leave awkward marks on the wall. marks which don’t wash off. or come off with nail polish remover. and end up costing you(r parents) damage charges.
3. if you get invited to things, like shopping trips or sports events, GO. it doesn’t matter if it’s something that never interested you before. you’re going to change a lot during freshman year and you never know what might interest you from one day to the next.
4. listen to your friends regarding relationships. if they say a boy is bad news, he probably is. if they say a boy is perfect for you, he probably is.
5. buy the expensive materials. your projects will look infinitely better.
6. macs are not real computers.
7. get a job on campus. living in the city is expensive, and you don’t want to be left out if everyone is going to do something fun just because you don’t have money. you are living on your own; you can’t run to your parents whenever you need money. plus it’s a nice feeling knowing that you can do or buy what you want because you earned the money.
8. caffeine is your friend. class at 8 am is not. if you introduce them, you have a much better chance at survival.
9. get to know your professors. they’re more likely to make time to help you if they know who you are, and it makes class time a lot more fun if you can joke with them.
10. try to remember to breathe when you see the hockey players walking around campus like they’re normal people instead of gods.
11. DON’T BUY THE BOOK BEFORE CLASS STARTS. in some cases, DON’T BUY THE BOOK AT ALL. the super expensive one you never opened is also most likely the one you can’t sell back. not to the bookstore, not online, not even to the sketchy van on the corner that offers CA$H FOR BOOK$.
12. get a best friend. new places and experiences are a lot less scary when you have someone to hold hands and pretend to be lesbians with.
13. get used to strangers talking to/staring at/singing to you.
14. if you get lost, walk towards the pru.
15. cookie dough stays good for 21 days at room temperature.
16. be flexible with your roommate. let tiny problems go. starting a fight about every little thing that bugs you will make you miserable in the long run.
17. if they tell you not to go there by yourself at night, DON’T GO THERE BY YOURSELF AT NIGHT.
