A Few Good Tips For College Students

Some of these tips are from personal experience, a couple in retrospect watching of friends, but mostly reflection on my last year of College. Honestly, I just wanted to collect some interesting things I have discovered:

Fun Tips:

1. A free lunch from a credit card company is never free
2. Credit cards may come in bright colors and promise big rewards, but the fees are brighter and bigger
3. Expensive books don't always mean Big pictures, but can be bought for half price from other students
4. Professors may have PHDs but that doesn't make them God
5. Sell ideas, not your soul to classes
6. Make Professors work hard, they make you work hard
7. Don't decide to send a nasty email to a professor until after the Final Exam
8. Just because you don't see the Campus Police checking for parking permits doesn't mean they don't
9. Going to the pub after failing an exam is a recipe for disaster
10. Motorcycle parking really is for Motorcycles
11. A speed bump at 55 mph or faster will ripe the exhaust pipe right out from under most mid-size cars

A little more serious:

1. Alcohol may seem like a good remedy for stress, but really it just creates more problems
2. College is the only time in your life where you get the chance to soak in so much knowledge, people, activities and networks don't waste it by partying to hard
3. Grades are insignificant measurements of learning and only follow you for a short time, Integrity or Dishonesty will follow you for the rest of your life.
4. College is 10% work, 50% using your head and 40% showing up
5. Just because your an adult doesn't mean give up on your Parents
6. Keep an Open mind, Don't forget where you came from and Leave your drama at home
