It all started when I met the girl I swore would change my life...and she did, and she's my best friend and we're cool now; however, when it first started and I first laid eyes upon her, schoolwork came second and she came first. I went to an all boys school for four years, so being in classes and living in the same dorms as hot, college girls kind of grabbed me by my crotch and dragged me in. I beg of you incoming students: do not let your love life affect your grades. It's a big no no. Bad habits are hard to get rid of. I strongly advise finding adequate time for guys/girls and school work equally so you don't burn yourself out with the "love of your life." It sounds silly, but with the college experience comes the freedom of being able to just bring any girl you feel you want to back to your room and doing whatever you want until whenever you want...and with that very freedom comes the ability to make poor choices when you let your sex organs take charge of your brain, haha. It's important to put school work first and get it done so you can party and bullshit your nights away.

Story of my first month and a half/break-up. Well, the significant other affecting the social life part.

Great advice. I'm going into my second year but I want to get more involved this year. It's not something I did enough in my previous two semesters.

Obviously you're kidding, you didn't list any Georgia universities. :D

What up Cherry Hill?

In 2006, 92.4% of applicants got accepted to WVU. If you don't get in then you have issues.

Nice write up. I agree with everything, which was said.

All I can say is, time management, time management, time management. Don't wait until the last minute to do a term paper//project//essay, believe me, I've been there before, and my grades fell because of it.

Question for OP: Why is it every time I'm by your school and I turn on your radio station, all I hear is hardcore music? Lol, I have to laugh.

Another thing i'd suggest -- "Have Backups".

What I mean by that is backup your papers online (I personally just use Gmail), have a plan for when your internet goes out (will a coffee shop or library network be accessible?), etc.

It's a metal station, haha. I'm the Assistant Programming Director there. Besides the fact that I had to learn to like metal to work there, it's been a great experience.

Ay this is rather long so I haven't read it yet as I have to bolt to class soon, but judging by your large number of posts (and your penis size) I assume you are a man who is very wise! I shall read it in due time and apply what you say to my daily life. Cheers, mate!

Hahahaha, I laughed way harder at that than I should have.

[gingercakes]

I appreciate this. Well said!

Fraternities and sororities are also two very distinctly different animals. I know at my school, no matter what a fraternity does as part of it's pledge process, they often never belittle you or make you feel not wanted. For the most part, it's physical stuff that puts physical stress on you. Sororities though...a lot of it is mind games because girls tend to be more emotional. I'm sure you will know if it is for you or not right away, but don't be scared to listen to any info students give you on it and don't be afraid to go to the Greek Life meetings every school holds in the first few weeks.

Well put- I was greek in college and loved it. Still have great bonds with all the BROs and it is a great reason to go back and visit. Most of my close friends now were greek as well. However, if I was a female, there would've been no way I would have put up with the sorority crap. They haze way worse than fraternities in my opinion.

Ahh, alright sweet haha. I was often confused, because I would turn it on at like 2 Am and be blown away by some metal.

8pm-Midnight on week days we have specialty shows (indie, emo, hip-hop, etc.) but during the day and overnights, it's all metal all the time, haha.
