Maybe it’s because I attend college in a big city, or maybe it’s just a sign of the times, but when I moved off campus last year and got a car, I received a lot of coaching on how to handle myself. My loved ones repeatedly warned me to hustle to my car, to always check the backseat, and to pretend all other drivers are brainless and out to get me. Going over these rules day in and day out I had the strangest sense of déjà vu. Suddenly, it hit me: college is basically "Zombieland".

So in honor of all of you college-zombie survivors out there, here are 11 (in no particular order) of the 33 Rules for Surviving Zombieland (aka College).

Survival Rule #1: Cardio

Whether you’re hustling to lose the freshman 15 or just to make it to class, cardio is key in college.

Survival Rule #2: The Double Tap

Did you really finish all of your homework last night? Better check again.

Survival Rule #3: Beware of Bathrooms

This is college. You never know what state your communal bathroom will be in.

Survival Rule #4: Wear Seat Belts

Have you seen Houston drivers?

Survival Rule #5: No Attachments

I have yet to meet a professor who will let me email them my assignment. Bring a hard copy, just in case.

Survival Rule #8: Get a Kick-Ass Partner

Whether it’s a kick-ass study group or your best friend(s) to the end, everyone needs at least one great partner to survive college.

Survival Rule #12: Bounty Paper Towels

You are going to spill things in college — a lot of things — and that school-sanctioned one-ply isn’t going to cut it.

Survival Rule #18: Limber Up

While these might be the best four (or so) years of your life, they can also be the most stressful. When stress is cramping your style, remember to Limber Up: Stretch, hit the gym or snag a massage.

Survival Rule #22: When in Doubt, Know Your Way Out

Whether attending a sketchy party or just lost in a new building, Survival Rule #22 will get you out (or to your next class) safely.

Survival Rule #30: Pack Your Stain Stick

Did you remember to wash that shirt? Maybe.

Survival Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things

College goes by before you know it. While the first few years feel like an endless onslaught of tests and term papers, take time every now and then to enjoy the little things: the beautiful sunset, an adorable bunny in the quad, or those precious extra minutes of sleep before your roommate's alarm goes off.
