10 Laws Every College Kid Breaks But Only Gets Arrested For If They Are Stupid

*Disclaimer, it is not right to break the laws of the land, but if you do don't be stupid about it!*

Here are ten laws that every college kid breaks, but get away with unless they're dumb.

Speeding

Everyone and their mom breaks this law, but you only get arrested if your going 20+ miles over the speed limit or if you are drunk or have illegal substances in the car when you are pulled over.

Underage Drinking

Almost everyone I know does this, and there are ways not to get caught. One way is to not do it, you can have a good fake ID, do it in your home, and don't drive while drunk.

Smoking (anything)

Smoking is not my preference, but if you don't hide it or the smell, then you are a dumb criminal.

Peeing in public

Have someone cover you and be in the middle of nowhere to get away with the crime, otherwise you'll be on the sex offender list.

Using a Cell Phone while driving

If anyone doesn't break this law, who are you? Either way, it is dangerous, you could get arrested if you cause an accident or have other related driving violations (i.e., suspended license) when you get pulled over if you depend on your phone that much, use the voice control feature on your smartphone to avoid further trouble. As long as you play it smart, then you are good to go!

Driving without a seat belt

YOU SHOULD USE A SEATBELT FOR SAFETY, however, if you choose not to do not cause an accident because you will get arrested and sent to jail. If you see a cop, put the seatbelt on quickly!

Jaywalking

The only way you can get arrested is that you jaywalk in front of a cop car, then BAM! Jail time!

Sharing medication

This is something that you should not do at all, but if you take the same medication as your friend you're okayish. You could get arrested if your friend has to go to the hospital because they had a weird reaction to a pill you gave them. So this law should be the law out of this list that you should follow.

Gambling

Whether it is betting Starbucks or a million dollars, everyone gambles somehow, you could get arrest if you are caught in the act doing it or if you win the million dollars, could be up for racketeering charges. So in other words, watch your back and have everything in cash.

Hit and Run

You can get arrested for the crime if you run away, if you back to the person you just hit, you may get off with a little warning. It would help if you also had a perfectly clean record (being white does not apply) anyone can get out of it if they admit and never had a run in with the law.

Use the advice wisely and I do not okay your illegal actions, I'm just teaching you how not to be stupid.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."
