3 Biggest Lessons Learned from College That You Won't Learn Until It's Too Late (b/c you're not going to listen to me)
1) Talk and get to know your professors, if you don't you'll have every reason to think the class is too easy, too hard, too pointless, not worthwhile, stupid, etc,etc.
You'll quickly realize that even the bad teachers are great people, and in doing so you'll do better in school and actually enjoy it.
2) You're there for school, and don't forget it.  If you don't, and stick to a solid gameplan for getting work done/preparing for tests you'll quickly realize that it's possible to ski 50+ (or 70+ freshman year) and do well.
3) If you don't like the people, meet new ones.  How El*Gato can claim he hates, or wants to light everyone he meets on fire, is beyond me.  Yes there are tons of d-bags, welcome to life my man....don't think that would be different at other schools.  Well maybe it would be, you could have fucking hipsters instead who I have even more of a problem with....who cares if they're nice.
