Things You Need To Know In College: Part 1
Author: Jamie Cohen


1) Don't be afraid to suck up to your professors. That stuff
was not cool to do in high school, but in college that could
very well help you graduate with a good grade. I would not
recommend sucking up in class. Be sure to visit your professor
during office hours and to ask for help. Let the professor know
you care about the class and about your grade. You will be
surprised at the results. I've pulled B's out of C's and C's out
of D's. You need to master this trick.

2) If you are trying to cheat the system, a good way to go
about doing it is through the bookstore. Buy all of the books
you NEED (remember they are plenty that you don't need or want,
so don't waste your money) at websites like Half, and Amazon.
Remember to buy these books used. You can save about 15-30
dollars per book. Then at book buy back day at the end of the
semester, you can usually sell them for more than you bought
them for. It's a trick I have been using for the past 4 years.
The problem is it won't work all the time, but when it does, you
will probably have a smile on your face. Nothing is more
satisfying than screwing the system that has been screwing you.
Also if your books are not wanted to be bought back by your
campus bookstore be sure to hold on to them and sell them online
and those two websites listed above.

3) Someone will most definitely try to sell you something. Most
likely it will be a credit card. Be very hesitant when this
happens because they will try to screw you over. They will try
to use everything even the kitchen sink to try to lure you in.
I've been almost led in by free sandwiches as well as free t-
shirts. They will ask for your social security number, the trick
is to tell them i , and lie about the last digit. That way they
don't have that valuable piece of information and you luck out
with a free t shirt or sandwich. The safer and probably more
effective thing to do would be go to your bank and ask for a
check card. That way if you don't have money, you can't use it,
so you won't be a heap of debt.

4) Don't listen to people on this unless it's me. Pile up your
classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Be sure if you are offered a
1 day a week class on a Monday or Wednesday to take it. You
should always try to get your Fridays off. You will also
appreciate a Thursday night of partying. You might not
appreciate your Friday morning waking up on the dorm bathroom
floor. But after that having Friday off will be just the trick
to make you feel better. The downside of this is that you may
have multiple tests on the same day but I believe having a 4 day
week would outweigh that.

5) Be sure to eat right. If you don't, you will get fat. Take a
trip to the local grocery store about once every two weeks.
Stock up on fruit, vegetables, and other things you don't think
you would eat on campus. I have seen friends of mine go to
college skinny and come out 30 pounds heavier. You do not want
this to be you. People will make fun of you. Make it a priority
to go to your campus gym maybe 3-5 times a week whether you are
running or lifting weights. Don't get me wrong, you will gain
weight no matter what. But with setting these priorities of
eating right and working out, it will definitely help you.
