CollegeTip: Professors

Always use rate my professors.
Always.

CollegeTip: inspection day.

When you know it's right around the corner, clean the room. Clean yourself. And be as innocent as a baby the whole day. Don't do anything stupid. But that's a general rule.

CollegeTip:Pepto

Buy it. Have it. Keep it. Share it. You will need a dose of pepto bismal on occasion when mommas not there to take care of you. I promise. You want it.

CollegeTip: Outfits

The Rules:

 

1.Never ever ever ever wear pajamas as pants. Or house-slippers as shoes.

 

2.It's okay to wear sweats, just keep it somewhat classy. Yoga pants are also acceptable.

 

3. Stop wearing leggins as pants. Just stop. Dont do it. And if you do, Please for God's Sake just wear a longer shirt?

 

4. Dress according to the weather. Don't wear tank-tops when its snowing. You'll just look weird. And it will make me think you have a sweating problem or something.

 

5. Same goes with shoes. No flip-flops or chacos or sandals in the snow. Crusty, dry and frozen toes are attractive on No One.

 

 

Those are my top 5 rules.

 

And I say all that, but then I'll turn around and say this too:

Be true to yourself. Dress how you feel. Express yourself. Because in college, it's a whole new field of people. I wear combat boots. I love love love them. And I'm sure some preppy girls mock them, but there are people just like me who also love them. And college is different that high school in the fact that everyone talks to anyone. At any given moment in the day you could recive a compliment from any random stranger, and it feels like this weird connection between you and the strangers of your college. Unlike high school where everyone just makes fun of everyone.

No one cares here. So be bold. Make a new fashion statement. And fear not the judgement of high school any more.

College Tip: Blankets & Bedding

Spoken from experience, a twin sized comforter is too small for a twin sized mattress. It goes like this:

You make your bed,

you tuck one side in, a pretty good tuck,

you cant really tuck the other side so you stuff it down by the wall and say "okay. That works."

Then you crawl in bed that night, wanting to cocoon down and get warm

when all of a sudden..

The backside is exposed. There's none of that rolling on one side business or your whole back can feel a draft.

This also applies when you have a friend come spend the night,

this blanket is not big enough for two.

So  buy a full for a twin.

a Queen for a full (lucky..)

or (if you're the luckiest) a King for a Queen.

if you have a bed anything bigger than that in a college dorm, well, you're not really living in a dorm,

your living in a freaking castle.
