I will be rooming with my cousin. He is helpful, but I could use some advice for dorm living, college skill, and other things, just college in general. Help?

Congrats man. But i will say that you are pretty lucky as i also found out that the people i met in the first week were a bunch of brainless morons and i now have a completely different group of friends instead.

Thanks. I think both of our experiences are extremes and a normal experience is somewhere in between.
From experience, it also helps connecting to other 18 year old guys if you're into drinking shitty beer and playing madden or halo... or if you have a fake ID, then everyone will love you.

Yeah I don't talk to really any of my friends from freshman year, its kind of depressing, I moved off campus after that and I commute from a pretty fair distance, and they all live really close. you'd think they could invite me to a party every now and then... And I lost 25 lbs freshman year, mostly because of the shitty campus food, and I've gained it all back by now but meh.
Anyway, Reason I don't live in Lubbock anymore is because my family moved to MD my senior year of High School. That said as the years progress I think this is just as good as anything else, Lubbock's a nice little town, a great place to go to college and a great campus, but there's not much to do there except drink or smoke pot, possibly do some meth and knock up a high school girl. Of my friends who still live there, five got married between the ages of 18 and 20. My advice is go for the schoolin', leave before the soul-sucking.
And try and meet up with my friend's Josh and Jason, they pretty much just sit around, talk about philosophy, smoke dirt weed and listen to Bob Dylan.

Stay away from weed and video games. Don't go the route of buying beer instead of juice to keep in the flat, if there is only beer that is all you will drink. Get healthy easy to make food stuffs, if it's not easy to make you will either not eat or go out for fast food.
Pot/kettle etc.
