It’s that time of year
again…back to school.
After a long summer of enjoying a break from classes, you may have forgotten
a few things about coming back to campus. So here are some helpful tips
on things to avoid on your first day of school.
Don’t plan on arriving on campus five minutes before your class
starts and getting that front row parking spot in Q. In fact, don’t
plan on coming to campus five minutes before your class starts and finding
parking anywhere. You should arrive at least two days early because everyone
knows that trying to get a parking spot the first week is like checking
into the airport or putting yourself in a BattleBots competition. So if
it’s Monday and you’re reading this, you should have been
here Saturday morning.
While we’re on the subject of parking, ladies (and maybe some men)
when those notorious guys (you know who they are) come by in their oversized
van with tinted windows and try to offer you a “ride” to your
car in the parking lot…do not go with them! We did that once and
lived to tell about it, but that’s just us. We probably got lucky.
After excessive partying over the summer, your body probably contains
the percentage of alcohol it should contain in water. This does not mean,
however, that you should go to The Pub and consume five 12oz. before classes
just because you made it to work at 8:00 a.m. every morning after staying
out all night.
If you did not read the above, and now have 2 minutes to make it to your
class and are in dire need to use the bathroom like never before. Whatever
you do, do not use the bathrooms in IT or the USU. You will be waiting
in a line like Disneyland to enter something that smells like the Fresno
Fair.
If it’s between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and you’re
hungry, do not choose any of the restaurants in The Pit for your dining
needs. It will be packed with people (including swarms of University High
kids). But, hey, we’ve heard there are some edible plants near the
Thomas Administration Building.
If you need to wait in the financial aid line for any reason, don’t
plan on attending your classes the first day of school. We mean the first
week of school. Here’s a mental picture…imagine a hoard of
Star Wars nerds camping out for the first midnight showing. Except no
one is running around dressed as Jar Jar Binks.
Don’t buy textbooks. Take classes with all your friends and borrow
the books right before every test. We know a guy who did it last semester
and got a 3.6 (By the way Eddie, you still Jenna 60 bucks).
