9 Things to Know Before a College Party


1. Pre-gaming is the party

Parties and Pre-games are two peas in a pod when it comes to college life. The thing is once you’re at the pre-game plans can change and the pre-game ends up being the party for the night.

2. Dress for success

Wear something you don’t mind getting stains on, because there will be inevitably that person who bumps into you and spills their drink everywhere.

3. Always go with group

Knowing that there are people you trust seeing you at your worst is always a good thing, even if they never let you forget what you did.

4. Drink enough but not too much

Don’t be that person who everyone is worried about and who eventually has to be carried out. This isn’t elementary school. You don’t need a babysitter.

5. Have a fake boyfriend in case

If you’re a girl there will come a time when someone who is just too out of it hits on you, so be prepared with a fake boyfriend. He can be completely made up or you can use a male friend.

6. You will most likely not talk to people you meet at the party again

You may talk to everyone at the party that night but chances are when class starts again all you will get is a glance of recognition and maybe a hello.

7. Bring money for late-night snacking

The next stop for a typical college student after a party is any local corner store, so be prepared with a few bucks. It’s wise to stock up your room with snacks as well.

8. Don’t drink the punch

Don’t do it.

9. The party life isn’t for everyone

You may just end up realizing that you’d rather sit back and watch movies on a Saturday night instead.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
