Leave your door open so you meet your floor. They might turn out to be pretty cool.

Let loose at the parties and dance a little.

There's only ever Natty Light. You'll drink it and enjoy it because its 50 cents a can.

Try not to go too crazy during welcome week.

Just ignore the creepy fifth year seniors that try to hit on the all the freshmen.

You'll have that super awkward party hookup.

And it will inevitably not work out.

Resist the urge to murder your roommates when you have to go to sleep early and they are being super loud.

You'll have the horrible realization that you forgot to turn something in. Just chill and try emailing your professor.

You're going to come across some pretty nasty campus food, but you'll learn the wonders of having a meal plan.

You might have the exceptionally awkward situation of walking in on your roommate.

Just tough through writing those papers and proofread a million times.

And sometimes you'll get really crappy grades on that paper you worked super hard on.

Overall, it's going to be a tough year but you'll make great memories and friends along the way.
