Welcome to college, maggots.

If you're entering college as a Freshman, it can be pretty scary. Have no fear because I'll help you with all the tips and tricks you need. This will be like Delaney's Declassified Freshman Survival Guide, except not because that would be copyright infringement. I'll just give you some ideas on how to survive your Freshman year of college.

The first tip is to make sure that you befriend the people who work in any area with food because it will be made better and with love. This is important because food is important. This is how you start off with a bang. Writing an article and in life, you start off with a bang by talking about food. You will be that funny, so relatable, hashtag goals kid. "OMG you love food too?! Yaaas best friend for life fam." So make sure you talk about food to everyone you meet, comment on others food, try a bite of their food, make them food, and make them into food. Wait what? So as long as food is topic of conversation, you'll be popular.

If you're ever finding yourself late to class, just invest in a pair of heelys. You'll roll right up to your desk and probably fall over but, you'll be on time and that's all professors care about! Grades? Nah. Homework? Forget it! Your mental health and well-being? WHAT'S THAT?! But, you walk in one minute late and the world smokes over and ends. Also, god forbid there's a coffee in your hand. Such heathen behavior that is.

Next tip is on the first day of classes, when professors ask if you have a preferred nickname, always respond with "Harambe." That should be everyone's nickname. Rest his soul.

If you're at a social gathering and a creepy boy is trying to hit on you and getting closer by the minute, don't worry just tell him how you're mentally unstable and can com-bust at any minute. If that doesn't work, because guys seem to love that, just say you're a feminist because that really is creep repellent. No, really if you're not a feminist you should be.

Always make sure that your music is playing so loud through your headphones, that others can hear it. Why have my own headphones when I could just listen to a mumbled version of yours? It really saves my phone battery!

Make sure to scream your political/ religious views to anyone with ears. That really gets you friends. Especially if you have car bumper stickers expressing those views!

Finally just have fun. Life is too short not to have fun in college, especially with the Illuminati trying to kill us all and what not. So eat that burrito, binge watch that show on Netflix, go to that frat, make friends with a space alien, swallow some questionable liquids, and make sure you study. Grades are important, but not the world and I don't want to give all this great advice without including that. If you fail a test, you'll get 'em next time. If you fail 5 tests then what are you doing? Use the tutoring center that your thousands of dollars of tuition is going toward.

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!

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.
