Graduation

I know alot of you may not know me, I’m Airman Doors little sister and Robyn’s sister in law. Well I’m finally graduating from high school and ready for every part of it! :smiley:

Just wondering if anyone wanted to throw some advise my way about school next year and life in general since my I’ll be on my own!

Thanx!!!:slight_smile:

The day you move into your dorm, wear shorts.

Bring Kleenex. You’ll need it when you get the inevitable cold that sweeps the freshman class in October. No, toilet paper will not do. Three boxes should last the semester.

Get your butt in class every day, barring deathly illness.

You will get bombarded with other people’s ideology. Don’t get drawn into debates until you’re sure where you stand on issues you’re not sure about. On issues that you are sure about, go ahead and debate, but don’t let it go to the ground.

At a party, don’t let your drink out of your hand. Ever. Don’t let a guy mix your drink for you, either. Even if he’s not going to alter it chemically, there are too many guys who will hand you a “weak rum and coke” with six shots in it.

A lot of people will couple up the first week. If you’re one of them, don’t get carried away: you’re far from home and so is he, and you may feel differently about each other in a month’s time. If you’re not one of them, don’t sweat.

On that note, get to know as many people as you can before choosing an SO or a group. Water finds its own level, and you’ll meet the people you’re meant to be with through pursuing your own interests. Standing next to someone at the punch bowl at the orientation reception is not a guarantee of lifelong friendship.

Be patient with your roommates. They have to get to know you at the same rate you have to get to know them.

But don’t ever let a roommate kick you out so she can have sex.

Don’t bother with fake ID. I don’t know the laws in your area, but you’re over 18, and getting busted can follow you. You don’t want any black marks on your record when you finally turn 21.

Never lend anything. Not even to your roommate, unless she uses it only in the room. Not even to your SO. Not to anyone. And put your name in all your books, just in case.

No advice here, except that shower shoes rock.

Congratulations, and act surprised when you open your gift from me and Dave. :wink:

If you absolutely must get drunk, call me so I can get pictures. :smiley:
