Study Spots<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The steps of any of the buildings (Cooper and Elizabeth are my favorites)<\/li>\n
  2. The benches if you have a flat surface to work on<\/li>\n
  3. 2nd-floor common area<\/li>\n
  4. The patio during 5th block<\/li>\n
  5. Library (obviously)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dorm\/Res<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Clean your room on Tuesdays. You’re not gonna want to do it on Wednesdays. Trust me.<\/li>\n
    2. Two trash cans: one by your desk and one by your bed.<\/li>\n
    3. Also: keep tissues by your bed, you’ll cry a lot.<\/li>\n
    4. Command hook by your bed to hold your badge.<\/li>\n
    5. Don’t stack your mattresses; they slide around and you’ll hit your head<\/li>\n
    6. Set up a laundry schedule and stick to it, otherwise you won’t do it.<\/li>\n
    7. Don’t bring that much stationery. You will use one black pen and one bright colored pen on the Dollar General receipt in your bookbag. Promise.<\/li>\n
    8. You won’t use the 19 coloring books you’re stacking into those sterilite containers. Put them back.<\/li>\n
    9. You need more towels than you think.<\/li>\n
    10. Also more socks.<\/li>\n
    11. Don’t pack that many shoes.<\/li>\n
    12. I’m serious, you need like three pairs if that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Food<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Make a Domino’s account.<\/li>\n
      2. Don’t buy bottled water more than once every two months. Grab it from the cafeteria in the morning.<\/li>\n
      3. Don’t bring breakfast foods that need to be microwaved. You’re not gonna want to walk all the way to the lounge.<\/li>\n
      4. Bring more than one set of silverware.<\/li>\n
      5. I don’t care how much you like strawberries, you’re not gonna eat them.<\/li>\n
      6. They don’t care how tall your fridge is.\u00a0<\/li>\n
      7. It’s easier if you and your roommate have separate refrigerators.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Social<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Make friends with your seniors – they’re your best bet at survival.<\/li>\n
        2. Don’t spend all your time in your room, if you want to be alone all the time, go outside.<\/li>\n
        3. Check out at least once every two weeks with friends (or someone new); it’s good for your mental health.<\/li>\n
        4. If you’re gonna get into a relationship, do so carefully – if it goes wrong, people pick sides and it’s not healthy.<\/li>\n
        5. Don’t trust anyone with vulnerable information early on. You have to build trust like crazy.<\/li>\n
        6. Medias are some of the best people on campus to talk to.<\/li>\n
        7. You can trust Mrs. Sudie with your LIFE.<\/li>\n
        8. Keep a journal to write in at least once a week, hopefully, more. Also, take lots of pictures. These are years you won’t want to forget.\u00a0<\/li>\n
        9. BRING CARD GAMES. Dutch Blitz, Cards Against Humanity, and Uno have been my saving grace.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
