So we all know part of the college experience involves some leisure, procrastination and abandoned inhibitions. But if we want to make it through the semester successfully, we should at least try to follow these guidelines (OK, maybe once in a
while).
Do
Get up when the alarm goes off.
Don’t
Sleep in for another 20 minutes, scramble for your clothes and walk into class with your fuzzy slippers.
Do
Meet new people.
Don’t
Go home with a creeper, pass out in his/her dorm and wake up with lost undergarments and dignity.
Do
Your homework.
Don’t
Play C.O.D., watch Teen Mom and shuffle through your room doing anything else involving procrastination.
Do
Get a good night’s rest.
Don’t
Down bottles of vodka, do five keg stands and pass out at 4 a.m.
Do
Study ahead of time.
Don’t
Cram the material in the night before and skim through it five minutes before the test.
Do
Have some snacks at hand.
Don’t
Starve yourself from being overly occupied with work, stuff your face out of stress or
overdose on Ramen Noodles.
Do
Go to class.
Don’t
Sleep through the lecture or skip it because you decided you haven’t eaten and would enjoy a nice lunch instead.
Do
Clean your dorm.
Don’t
Suffocate from the toxic fumes of the dirty dishes, empty bottles and three garbage bags that have been sitting there for two weeks.
