I don't necessarily agree with number 7, especially if she is your first.
You wouldn't major in the first class you take in college, so why marry the first girl that comes along and likes you.
I agree, since most of the folks on this forum are probably nerdy types that didn't go to the highschool prom or ball. College is a fresh start to do things, but changing your personality and confidence isn't going to happen overnight. A change in environment and associated freedom certainly helps (ie - don't go to college < 5 hours from your mom). The first time you get a girl to touch your penis is great! Just don't make a baby with her.
I have 2 friends that married straight out of college. 1 lasted 6 years and divorced costing him ~450k in a lump sum alimony (Intel) and the other has joint custody of a kid that probably isn't even his! hehe

Wow some really awesome info here. Going be graduating (tho not standard uni) soon and entering the big bad world. Hoping to take a few months off just to relax and go exploring a bit ( the world and myself).
Done the writing bit (eSports) got criticised to hell on some stuff and on some got a ton of praise that was kind off awesome.
Will see if can act on some of that advice.

First-year student here. Not into drugs (because I would get kicked from res and it's expensive) but I'll try the sleeping around.
Requested amendment to 5: Safe sex?

As a person who's experiencing college right now, this pretty much sums up what just about every college student wants out of their school, it's awesome.
IntoTheheart, drugs are not expensive lol. Go smoke a doobie with your pals and have a couple drinks. You're 19, act like a 19 year old, not some 90 yr old granny  .
And a tip for you first year freshmen, walk off campus when you're doing your shit. Or at least get out of the dorms; way too many people get in trouble for being rowdy in the dorms and end up ruining their financial aid/housing situations.

This comes off as really strange to me; very reminiscent of the sort of ads that tobacco companies would run, trying to appeal to both teenagers and older men who are beginning to feel old. You remember Joe Camel?
I dunno, the idea that doing drugs is "what young people do" just seems pretty foreign to me, especially since nowdays plenty of elderly people use drugs for pain management. It seems dishonest and just plain misguided to me to pressure someone to experiment with drugs because of their age; it's just a veiled form of "everyone's doing it so why can't you be cool".

I was more getting at that he should look more into having fun and do new things and not let such things like money and RA's be such controlling factors in his life. Fuck he's 19 and in college, you're supposed to have fun in that time period. It would suck to not act your age at such an awesome time in life.
But no, your shpeal about peer pressure is cool too.

All I"m saying is that alcohol is easier to get a hold of than drugs. And more of my friends drink than get baked so it's more social in that respect for me.

i think that dugs are something that can be lots of fun, just like sleeping around. But, that doesnt mean its for everyone.
If you are someone that likes those things, its always best to go about it in a smart, safe way. I.E. not smoking all the time and ruining your life because you dont do anything but smoke. In my opinion drugs should be something you enjoy in moderation with limited negative effects on your life. I would never do drugs like heroin, meth, or coke. Personally I limit myself to weed, psychedelics, mdma and alcohol. I included alcohol because in my opinion, it is the same as a drug in every single way, its just way more available and legal.
In terms of sleeping around, I find it pretty despicable when people sleep with someone else they have no feelings for and the other person believes they do. Sex can hurt someone. So basically, be careful. If you're not emotionally invested, make sure the other person isn't either. If you are, make sure the other person knows.
these are just like, my personal opinions on the topic.

Not doing any of it has a much lower risk-to-reward ratio.
no, there's not much risk in trying weed, but there is a reward. unless you dont value the experience of getting high once at all. if that's the case, then yeah, dont try it, but i think it's a valuable experience for anyone.

sorry if i implied that you cant make an informed decision without trying it. it should have been "you can make a more informed decision if you have tried it"
and obviously, you decide whether to try it or not by weighing the risk to reward of trying it vs not trying it.
weed - risk is very little. reward - you get the experience of trying it and understand it more. i say go for it.
heroin - risk is super high, addiction, life ruined, etc. reward - you get the experience of trying it and understand it more. risk is too high, dont do it.
and of course, you can use the above logic on suicide.

This--know your limits, obviously. If you've got a personality that naturally can't handle addiction, don't do harder drugs. On the other hand, most drugs can get you pretty decent memories if you're careful about it. Acid, in particular, is something I'd recommend everyone do, since it opens your internal perspectives so much. (I've never done it but I've seen how much it turned some pretty neurotic people into people who were much more normal.)
In terms of sleeping around, I find it pretty despicable when people sleep with someone else they have no feelings for and the other person believes they do. Sex can hurt someone. So basically, be careful. If you're not emotionally invested, make sure the other person isn't either. If you are, make sure the other person knows.

This too--be upfront with people in college about emotions or lack thereof. If things aren't working out, just tell her. If things are, tell her too. Don't hold back, and do this early. If nothing else, save her the trouble of getting invested into something you aren't or vice versa. If you're lucky, you might even stay friends.

That's the spirit. In order to learn how to live for someone else (i.e. your future family), you've gotta learn how to live for yourself. Don't be the kind of parent who never did the latter and ends up projecting him or herself on their kids

rofl shady, as an asian-american male in college, I gotta agree with this
"Don't be the kind of parent who never did the latter and ends up projecting him or herself on their kids "
I've seen it too many times.
Great post, agree with most of it, though the tone of this piece could be a bit nicer for the kids actually going to college the next year.
