The girls you pass on now because they aren't hot enough will be the ones you lust after for the next 50 years. Get all you can

Beyond the sports bets and hot stock tips, this is probably the best advice for 90% of people.

Even if you're completely spaced out, you would surprised how much you retain simply by being there.

Going to office hours makes a nice corollary to this.

absolute truth...when I went back to college to get my accounting degree, I graduated with over a 3.5--primarily because I went to class!!!!!

sign up for Band your first semester, drop out of school after your first semester and join the military to get your GI bill.

I skipped a math class because it was easy as hell and the semester was close to over and I had a high A already and wasn't worried about the final.

The day I skipped we had a test I didn't know about.

Wear a condom.

That crazy girlfriend who lied to you about being pregnant to keep you from breaking up - is going to drive you crazy for your entire sophomore year.

I went to college near my home town so all my high school F Up friends were to close.


I'd go off somewhere and study instead of drinking, whoring, smoking weed

Enjoy it because there are things you do that will one day become frowned upon.

You will not be able to share certain ideas. It will all have to fit under a certain political agenda. And everything you do will be viewed in terms of how it fits politically.

Don’t go to that Def Leppard concert at UNO arena that one time. Trust me. Mad Dog 20/20 is a bad idea. Always. As are flaming Dr Peppers.

And

Cum Laude is not as dirty as it sounds

Completely overrated. Eat an adderall a couple of days before the test and just do all the prep questions. Questions are the exact same format, they just change the numbers/variables.

4.0 accounting gpa using this method

Nothing. Anything I told the younger me would butterfly effect into who knows what today. I really like where that guy ended up today.

I wouldn't tell myself anything. I would just sit back and laugh.
