I will be starting college on Monday. I'm excited but nervous. I've heard very good things about college. Is there anything that I should know that would help me out a lot. And, for those who have gone to college and completed, what are some of the biggest things you regret NOT doing. I wish there was a college forum.
What should I know about college?
- Thread starter bud_2005
- Start date
Once college starts, meet as many new people and make as many friends as possible right away. People are a lot nicer an dmofre receptive during the first few weeks, especially incoming freshman. This is because cliques haven't formed yet and everyone is new.

College is going to be the best time of your life. Meet as many people as possible especially girls. Joining a fraternity depends on what school u go to. Some guys join fraternities cuz they are losers and cant mke friends on there own.

Here's a radical idea:
Go to class.
Party all you like, but go to class and care about your grades. The people who don't will regret it later in life. Freshmen don't care about grades, but grad school will later. Get to know your academic advisor and always register for classes asap.
Consuming too much pot, acid, or mushrooms never killed anybody. Drinking too much alcohol kills people all the time. Don't do 10-15 shots in a sitting. Always eat before and during boozefests. Greasy food like pizza soaks up alcohol and slows absorbtion. And if a passed-out drunk is puking, turn him on his stomach or he can choke on his own puke and die.
These are the things I learned in college.

That depends on the girl.
What I did that got me a reputation within about a month or so, (I went to a smaller college) just make a point to meet 1 new person each and every day.
My technique was simple, I would wait untill lunch, buy my food, find a table with a free seat that I hadn't talked to before. I would ask them 'I hate eating alone, do you mind if I join you?'... then I would sit, because it's only happened once where they said 'we are having a private conversation'... which wasn't really a rejection cause I met them the days after either way.
Once I'm sitting though, I didn't even worry about starting the conversation... because something would always come up to end the silence, either by myself or one of the people at the table. Think about it, they've agreed to let you join their group for at least the following half hour... there's nothing better to do but get to know each other.
It eventually got hard to remember names, but that wasn't much issue.
Seriously though, after about a month or so I started having guys come up to me saying things like 'whats your secret? How do I see you with a different group of women every single day?' and shyt like that... major confidence boost.

All the above posts are good. But I want to make on thing very clear.
University is short.
Very short.
Get off your ****ing ass, and do something about it. Don't be like me and wait till 3rd year to get moving on getting a GF, or even just getting out there, and becoming a better man. It's time wasted that you DO NOT want wasted. I closed off alot of doors my first year from being that "shy, unsmiling" guy. Don't let that happen to you.
I'm pleading with you to listen to me. Just get out there and do it.
At the very least if it still doesn't work out for you, you won't have the regret of "not trying". Cause even though the break ups hurt, and they hurt bad, it's still better to have loved then never at all.
Remember. You can never experience all the good in life if you've never experienced the pain. They go hand in hand, so both should be accepted, and cherished.

i did this a ton too last semester. it's a great idea. unfortuantely, i didn't really build great rapport last semester and none of them panned out to be friends, as i was still getting over my fears, etc.
i just got back from lunch now though, and met 3 new people. i was somewhat rusty so i got a bit nervous at first, but shook it off, and we got pretty comfortable joking and talking.
it's fun, and you meet tons of new people. i think this is a great tip.

I learned not to smoke 4 bowls of the ganga, drink 12 beers in 3 hours, then try to perform in bed with a girl you know wants your balls. But that's just me.
But what everyone said holds too. Go to class. Study hard, it's your first priority. Have fun, game HB's, etc etc.

Before you even get to college, find out how to get an on-campus job. They understand your schedule, so they will higher many students who can all work very short shifts. You should do this ASAP, as these jobs will be taken up quickly.

Yea, definitely look for work-study. My recommendation would be the IT-Help desk, it is so easy. All you need to do is re-format a student's computer, or do a virus scan to look for any viruses.
Alright guys, i think i have a similar problem to the topic creator. I'm going to be a rising sophmore, and i actually did something similar to what Pimp did. I'd join the table with a few girls or one girl sometimes, just got 2 # in the classroom, got like 10+ at frat parties, did the normal thing of what horny guys did(Just see a girl dancing and grinded with her) and got just one ONS. I've read the DJ Bible just recently and will end my Keyboardjockiness for good. But I just have a few uncertanties about this...
1) In one topic of the bible, one topic creator tells you, considering S.S., to not hide your interest when you approach, but another topic creators says to have no interest at all and talk to her without an agenda(Jfire). Which one should I follow?
2) Alot of people on this board tell you to smile. I keep telling myself to smile when a female walks by when we get eye contact, but I just can't do it. I just have the subconscious feeling like i'll be creepy or a freak(even with a light smile) because most don't do it. Yea, i know no physical harm will come to it, but I just can't get this feeling out me when walking on campus.
3) In the bible it says to work out and everything. I'm out of shape right now (5'11 185 with a pouch) but will work out soon, should i still try DJing in the meantime?
4) I'm on academic probation right now and have one final chance to put my grades up this fall. What worries me is even if I do get my grades way up and workout but not approach any females at all and when 2nd semester comes when they're not as receptive, I'll be back to square one over here?
5) When i was friendly with quite a few people, sometimes they'd say, "I'm busy" or when females are sarcastic or when someones dominating my view, I just get the feeling that i'm a child compared to some people. I heard on here quite a bit of times, be a man, but I just don't know how to react to these situations.
I just want to be totally certain that I should try this.

1.) Don't show much interest, if any at all... be indifferent, because it is very powerful when dealing with hot women if you are the one super-guy who doesn't seem to want them. I recommend that you send a lot of mixed messages too: be indifferent or talk to them in a nonchalant manner and at the same time look them in the eyes seductively, smile, touch, flirt with them, etc. The KEY is to not give yourself away, be too obvious, and become 1 of 10000 other guys she already knows like her. You should use her signals to know when to make advances. So I repeat, you can SHOW her you like her with your actions, but NEVER directly tell her you like her. Both creators were right, but you have to use a combo of the two.
2.) Smile, but not a big ear-to-ear goofy smile, just a seductive grin. Try to make it so you can do it naturally, to avoid having it looked forced and phony. Unless you're high or something, I don't know how you would go around campus showing your full set of teeth to everyone... it just might not look right, so that is one reason for the grin instead. You won't look any less confident, which, incidentally, is what smiling is all about, showing confidence and friendliness. If you're not confident and relaxed, a decent smile is going to be hard to pull off. You need to carry the attitude that you own the dam-n campus, and walk and smile accordingly. She should smile back. I say if it is a girl you bother to even smile at, you might as well strike up a convo as well.
3.) Why not?
4.) I think you stress about time too much. 2nd semester and 1st semester are both excellent opportunities.
5.) Confidence and the resulting "don't give a fu-ck" attitude are a must. Do THIS: next time a girl gives you attitude, push that attitude right back at her. I have done this in the past with women and they all FALL to their knees in submission (well, not literally, but you get the point).... their bi-tch shield is for weak men, you can break it if you just have some balls and be a man. For instance, if a girl upon meeting you says with a bit of snobbiness: "who are you?" as if you are nothing to her, you return with: "I was wondering the same thing about you." or "hang on, first of all, who are YOU?" and you have turned it all around on her, becoming the one in control of the situation. Don't ever get emotional or act angry, just stop caring what others think and learn to turn the tables in those situations. If all else fails, just walk away from the woman and find another one; this can be powerful too. Women only have strong enough "game" for deterring all the wussy AFC men out there, meaning, if you have even a little bit of "game" (I hate the word but no other way to describe it) she will easily be overtaken and you turn her into YOUR bit-ch.

THANKS ALOT!
get a job in the computer lab or library so most of the time you're getting paid to do your homework... and it will force you to do your homework because you'll have nothing else to do unless you do it except sit there.
That way you have 10 hours a week where you're getting paid AND doing homework. that way you don't have to ever choose between playing video games with friends or doing homework because most of the times video games will win.
I even used to schedule group meetings while i was work. score.
