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.
