If You Find Yourself At A Frat Party, Do This, But Not This

10. Bring a hair tie.

College can mean many things for students. But, if you go to a school with a big Greek life population there are a few things that everyone should know:

1. Don't leave your drink unattended.

Not everybody has good intentions. The safety of you and your friends should come before all else.

2. Do arrange for rides.

Chances are you will be moving from party to party, which could be pretty expensive if you intend on ubering everywhere. Therefore, have a general plan of action ahead of time.

3. Don't sit on the toilet seat.

SQUAT, or just hold it if you can. They are gross, gross and more gross. Plus, there is never any toilet paper.

4. Do eat that greasy pizza at 3 am.

OK maybe don't do this every night, but it is very satisfying on occasion. No regrets.

5. Don't lose your fracket.

Having a "frat jacket" is an absolute must. When you feel like you're about to get pneumonia you will be thankful for that extra layer.

6. Do dance. A lot.

And do it like no one is watching. Nothing says college better than dancing with your friends in a grimy basement.

7. Don't go overboard on social media.

We get it. You have friends and are having fun. Why prove it to people that could care less by posting a minute story?

8. Do stay with your friends.

Does this one even need to be explained? No one should ever get left behind.

9. Don't wear anything you remotely care about.

Just saying, it will become destroyed.

10. Do bring a hair tie.

An absolute MUST if you don't want to feel (and look) like there is a wet mop on your head.

Frat parties can be a great time when done right. Making the right decisions will ultimately help shape your entire undergraduate experience and create ever lasting memories.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
