I've been to three colleges in three states. I wish circumstances had let me just stay at the first one. Also, don't take a break from college for a few years. Again, I wish circumstances had let me just keep going to college. I spent a couple years working and trying to get back into school, in a different state, and the application process can take forever (and you really need to have all your i's dotted and t's crossed on your app).

This is not necessarily good advice, at all. I hated my first school, was depressed, overworked/stressed, and horribly unhappy in general. I dropped out, took a year off, and reapplied elsewhere. I'm going to school in a different state now, and things are much, much better.

Sometimes it's not possible, because the school you're at isn't working. I was just saying that it makes things a lot easier and faster. I switched schools because my last one sucked, but it was expensive and complicated to do so, and I wish it hadn't been necessary. But it was, if I was going to get an education worth what I was paying.

Get enough sleep.
Consult Teh Internets!
Don't stress out! Seriously, man, calm down. CALM DOWN!

Each of these is a fallacious piece of advice.

Sorry to disappoint you, but "fallacious" doesn't mean "awesome and incredibly useful". It's okay, there's no need to apologize.
Cadeonehalf:
Best advice is this:
Don't compromise who you are to be popular. This is College, not High School, and "popularity" is so subjective (especially on large campuses) that its better to have a few friends than a million acquaintances.
Seriously a former friend of mine did just that and now has no friends and spends all day in his room because no one will hang out with him anymore.
Abigmoron:
If you want a job, try and get a work-study job if you're eligible. I'm not eligible, and am extremely jealous of my friend who gets paid to sit in a room and surf the internet for 4 hours a week.

Things I have learned about my roommate
A poignant coming-of-age tale about love lost
By Amper H Sandwitch
My roommate:
- Is completely and inexplicably racist against Belgians
- Loves lolcats and loves to send them to me
- Loves badly written sitcoms with laughtracks and loves to listen to them loudly
- Often spills things on her computer
- Has a UTI that she likes to talk about
- Thinks I should 'get out more' but doesn't tell me and instead keeps it as a passive aggressive little gem of pity
- Categorizes a party in a frat's-nest to still be a good party even after she is pelted by a beer can
- Broke up with her boyfriend over the phone
- Cannot understand why it is inappropriate for said boyfriend to lounge around the room in his underwear at 1.00 the night before a big test the next morning at 8.35
- MBates in her sleep
the end
ampersandwitch:
Yeah I guess I should get out more
