With these insider-y tips, your college life will be a blast from day one!
1. Prop Your Door Wide Open
Your hallmates will peek in to see how your room stacks up, giving you the perf opportunity to chat and make new friends.
2. Don't Get Lost
No need to be the newbie with a map. Before classes start, do a dry run so you don't feel dorky trying to figure out where the heck you're going.
3. Eat The Best Pizza
Pizza is basically the only food group that exists in college, so ask an upperclassman where the most delish slices are served.
4. Make Ear Plugs Your New BFF
Your roomie may be tons of fun, but come sleep time, you'll wish you could hit mute.
5. Join A Rando Club
The next four years are about discovering new things! Join kooky clubs like Quidditch or sky-diving. (Yup, they exist!) You never know what you'll end up loving!
6. Make Nice With The Caf Ladies
If you want extra onion rings (uh, who doesn't?), you need caf workers to like you. A sweet hello whenever you see them should work!
7. Rock A Team T-Shirt
You don't have to be into sports, but catching a game is a good way to get swept up in school spirit. It will make you feel instantly more connected to your campus!
8. Follow Frats On Twitter
Want to know when all the cool parties are happening? Follow the most fun frats at your school for up-to-the-minute deets.
9. Keep A Secret Stash
You'll need an extra jolt of energy during an all-night cram sesh, so keep an emergency supply of healthy snacks like granola bars and trail mix, as well as some sugary treats like Sour Patch Kids or Skittles.
10. Find A BGF ASAP
Buddy up with the funny guy from class and make him your wingman—he's the key to finding out where the hotties hang!
