I just finished my freshmen year, it was way different than I thought here it goes.
First week of school: everyone is new, meet as many people as possible. Everyone I hung out with and knew I met in the first week (which included orientation) and I met more friends through them, got to go frat parties, off campus parties, etc. all through the people I met the first week.
-Drinking is good, smoking weed is better, smoking and drinking in 1 nite is a great combo. Don't forget to drink some water if you can remember too before you sleep.
-No matter how good of an idea it sounds, dont start drinking at 6am then goto bed at noon. You can loose an entire weekend.
-Make friends with fat chicks, chances are they have a beautiful roomate (happened like 4 times this year alone)
-Always, always, ALWAYS drink with girls.
-Rush this year. Even if you don't want to join a fraternity, you get to have great food, free alcohol, free strippers, and maybe you will meet a good friend. You may think you may not want to join a fraternity now, but rush can change everything. I delayed a rush for a certain frat, and I am glad I did - I ended up transferring to another univerisity in another state
-Join at least 1 club. It will be nice to meet peopel with same interest, and hopefully older people over 21, who live off campus, and have a car.
-Don't goto Anandtech.com as much as you used too, go do things you have never done before.
-I liked having an 8am class because I was able to get up (I dont really sleep much) and have all of my classes done by noon. I could do whatever I wanted during the day when it was the only time it was quiet in my dorm.
-Put posters on your wall, it gives character to a room. Someone could walk by and see a poster of his favorite band in your room, and boom, another friend.
-Be nice to everyone, you never know who might become a drug dealer and give you the hookup
-Get a digital camera and take pics of everything. When it isnt in use, lock it up somewhere in your room and keep your door locked at all times. I really wish I had a digital camera last year, but I got one now and I am ready for another year.
