Always be cordial and respectful. Leave as much notice as possible. If you can't leave notice as you need to take the new position immediately, then tell them the truth. If they can't accept that then you don't need to associate with those type people anyway.

This is how you do it.

Don't be too surprised if your boss/manager gets angry or acts like a dick even when you handle your side of the situation with class and consideration.
Often times this reaction stems from the fact that the employee has been doing a good job and now the manager is hit with the stress of finding an adequate replacement.

unless your new job says you have to come asap, then I would give 2 weeks notice.

You may need to go back.

Just keep in mind that many employers will respond a two weeks notice with "Okay, you don't need to come back tomorrow."

If the opportunity comes, and I'm required to make the decision of taking the job, do I give my two my two weeks notice? There's absolutely no way (literally, no way) I would work here again in the future, so I don't have to worry about burning a bridge. I'm just stuck in a hard place where I don't want to screw them over, but I have to take an opportunity if it comes.

You give them as much of an opportunity as you can. While two weeks is nice, I've had to give a one week notice before. If you explain that it is a time sensitive position that will provide real experience on your resume, they will understand.

Do you already have a campus job or is this in case you are offered one?

It's a college job bro, it won't mean shite in the long run. I've worked at least 10-15 jobs from the time I was 16 to like 25, maybe 3 of those went on my resume.

ETA: Explain to your boss the situation, he'll probably let you leave.
