No, you're pretty justified there since Animal House isn't nearly as good as it's made out to be. Not giving due respect to Lambda Lambda Lambda would be a whole different matter though.

When going to university, make sure you know how to cook, wash clothes, clean and pay bills. I am always horrified by the vast number of people who turn up every year unable to do these simple things.

Emaline:
Ugh. I am 20 now. I need to get in school. Not trying to over take this thread or anything, but has anyone gone to any art schools? I have a couple I'm looking at, but I was curious if anyone could recommend some others./Joe Hocking what school did you go to? And would it be a terrible idea for me to major in either printmaking or graphic design?

Be discerning about your friends!

The opportunity to make new friends is really important and you shouldn't fuck up like most of us did in school! Get to know a large variety of people, before figuring out who you actually like to hang around! It doesn't always mean people who have the same interests as you, but it does mean people who you won't find annoying or mean later on!

It sounds simple and probably a bit boring, but I think this is actually pretty important. There are a lot of new people to get to know and hang out with, but only a handful you will hang out with for a long time into the future! Forging strong relationships is important for when people are in different classes and it's harder to hold on to friendships!

NarwhalSunshine:
Learn to make a grilled cheese sammich with an iron, not really necessary but a pretty cool trick
Learn to tie a tie
Buy a three button dark suit and red tie, you never know when you'll need a suit and a red tie is perfect for every situation
Don't worry if you don't know what you want to major in, you're still young
I'm in the same situation as you, except the university I'm going to is in my city and I've already dropped out of another college.

ViolentDove:
Learn how to cook at least two dishes. Learn how to make at least one cocktail. If you're sharing a house, read He Died With a Felafel in His Hand and take heed.

@Emaline- My lady friend studied printmaking at an art school. She liked it; it's one of the more practical art disciplines, while still giving a pretty wide range of technical options in artworks. However, from an employment point of view, she's still wishing that she studied more computer-based graphic design subjects, and is actually going back to school to do so.

Basically, I guess I'm trying to say that if you want a better chance of a job afterwards, you'd be better off getting a fair bit of graphic design subjects in, rather than printmaking (although the two can overlap a fair bit).
