    42 KB College soon Anonymous 08/16/09(Sun)23:06 No.35924292  
    Hello fellow /v/irgins,
    I'm going to college soon, and just wanted any tips I can get from fellow bros. I'm taking my 360 & games up, roomates bringing the tv.
    I'm the typical socially awkward ronery nerd that you see on /v/, so I have to ask, is College like High School at all? Is it very clique? Are their really as many stupid fratboys (you know the ones) as they say?
    Help me out /v/, in return a funny pic for you WoW players.

    >> Anonymous 08/16/09(Sun)23:18 No.35924956
    I only lasted a year in college (lol dropout) but I can tell you this:
    the first half of the year was awesome. everyone in our entire dorm building was extremely social, all doors were left open all the time (except for the one antisocial prick nobody liked). closed door basically meant don't bother knocking cause whatever is going on in there is important or sekret. if you get into the frat scene or go to the gym a lot, of course there's a lot of stupid frat guys. I stuck with the pep band. We had an awesome thing going that was completely separate from the frats. Weekly parties, 50+ people crammed in a small apartment drunk out of our minds after every hockey game.

    when the second half of the year rolled around, all the cliques developed and by the end of the year i felt like i was in high school again. pep band stayed cool, but the dormitory environment turned to shit.

    Uhhh college is quite different. If all else, try to join a frat. They you can BROout and play some gears and madden, and drinking games. A few shots and some beers will make you less socially awkward via giving you unwarranted confidence. Once you bang that chick, you should be fine. Just keep it up for 4 years. Try to find friends that matter, and not just some fags that try to abuse your generosity.

    Don't refer to /v/ as fellow /v/irgins by the way. Makes me feel like one by responding. Pretty sure it's at least 50-50. There can't be that many sad excuses on here. Can there?

    >go out there, BE A MAN, stop being a "ronery nerd", enjoy college, fuck bitches, play some vidya, and stop coming to /v/.

    Oh seconding this motion. Ronery nerd is a no go. No one wants to be one. Choose not to be and you'll be fine. Have fun.

    I've found that college is pretty different from high school. Instead of the widesweeping drama people find a friend group hang out and don't really bother others. The stupid fratboys really aren't that prevelant, it all matters where you choose to go. If you party a lot you're bound to run into them more. My advice is to find something you like to do on campus and get involved, it's a really quick way to make friends and it's pretty fun. Also, get to know your neighbors. You might be living with some pretty cool people and not even know it.

    There are only fratboys in team sports and fraternities. Take P.E. courses like jogging or fencing if you don't want to be around those people. Don't join a frat.

    Your roommate is not your friend. He cannot be trusted. Do not confide in him. Do not trust him with your valuables. Do not bring anything you cannot stand to lose. I'm not trying to scare you, but at the same time I don't want you to get taken advantage of. If you give him nothing to use against you, he can't do anything to you (if he turns out to be a dick)

    Back your computer up to an external HD and wipe out EVERYTHING you don't want shared with the world. Password protecting it won't mean shit. If you have photos/chat logs/search histories you don't want the public to know about, delete all of it.

    It isn't like High School. In fact, the kids fresh out of high school always stick out like a sore thumb because they are the ones acting like retards. That clique shit is for children.

    If your friends have written shit on your shoes, hat, tshirt, or backpack, don't bring it unless you want to get pegged as a newb. Don't draw weed leaves on your folders or dress/act gangsta.

    The overwhelming majority of college students are adults who have goals in life and are working towards them. They are more interested in passing their courses and doing well. If you work hard and take it seriously you will fit right in, socially awkward ronery nerd or not.

    If you don't smoke or drink now, don't feel like you have to start to 'man up' around your roommate or friends. I cannot possibly explain how difficult it is to stop.

    Here are protips from someone who has been on both ends of the professor's desk.
    1. Bring only what you need. You won't be staying in the dorm long...after the first year most students make some friends and get an apartment with their bros. Moving is a pain in the ass, and you won't have much storage space. Simplify. Bring your computer, ammenities, and maybe some basic furniture you wouldn't mind throwing out.
    2. Join clubs and shit. This will help you make friends, fight off the ronery, and most importantly build your resume and help you get contacts that will be useful when you graduate. Try to join two clubs; one in your field and then one that'll teach you a new school. Do something fun; swing dancing, or martial arts, or break dancing or fencing or whatever. It'll cut into your vidya time, but there's no better way to meet people. If you're focused on learning a skill, you'll be less self conscious when you talk to your peers.

    >> Anonymous 08/16/09(Sun)23:45 No.35926622
    >>35926581
    3. Take any opportunities that come up: If someone invites you to drink, or go to a bar, or a club, or try shrooms, or go to a sick kegger at chad's, fucking do it. I don't care if you think you'll hate it (and you probably will), go anyway on the off chance that you have fun. Worst case scenario, you'll learn for sure what you like and don't like. Best case scenario, you find a new hobby, make friends, or even get your dick wet. Just make sure you're smart about it.
    4. FUCKING STUDY. Get your general education classes done with IMMEDIATLY. Yes, it sucks, yes you came to study X, not dick around with Y, but just fucking do it. The teachers will cut you slack if you're a freshman, and when you take care of that crap it'll let you get into the interesting, specialized stuff. Try to have your major figured out before you go. Figure out how much time you need to study every week, set a schedule, and FUCKING STICK TO IT. Even if the new vidya comes out, don't play it until you put in your hours. Remember, you're paying to be there, you only fuck yourself when you slack off.

    i beg to differ. while not a frat, our pep band's shenanigans were almost as severe as animal house. on the first weekend of every year we get completely back-asswards wasted and run around through all the dorm buildings tipping over furniture, ripping posters off the walls (public areas) and screaming the lyrics to drinking songs and/or metallica. This served as an awesome recruiting aid, as people who want in on that shit would seek us out.
    for christmas, we stole a pine tree from the neighboring school to put in our "party house" (apartment where everything happened). When I say stole, I mean drove over in a pickup truck, chainsawed a pine tree from their sporting grounds, and sped off leaving ruts in the field.
    we'd go to all the women's hockey games and sexually proposition the away team to distract them.
    we had a bigass air horn like the ones on 18-wheelers, retrofitted into a box with a tank for portability. if someone wronged us, we'd set it off outside their window in the middle of the night.
    it was very much like animal house

    My high school experience was fucking awesome. It was a lot like /v/, actually; everyone was bros, and everyone raged about everything.

    I'm worrying that college just won't be quite as rockin.

    I have no idea.

    I go to community college, so I kinda just go to class and then work and then home.

    Don't really have friends anymore since they're all busy with their frats and their new friends.

    Don't really have a chance with women because all the girls here are older and married, and the ones that aren't want nothing to do with a loser who lives with their parents (even though they do too).

    I kinda just...live.

    I think this is what being 30 must feel like. Just never thought I'd feel it at 20.

    I don't know about you guys, but my first week in a dorm was complete hell

    Getting up by myself (I broke my alarm clock within 3 days because in one of the days my arm shot out and it slammed against the wall) sucked. I lived with 3 other guys and I didn't talk to them for the first week (I went in my own room when not in class and sat alone listening to music or playing my DS)

    I was scared because I'd never been away from my parents before (You fags were, too), and it was impossible to get to sleep. I talked to no one on campus, went to class, went back to dorm, sleep, repeat. Call my mother every night to talk to her, talk quietly so other guys in dorm can't hear.

    Actually the reason I ever came out of my room was seriously a ;_; moment. I was the only one in the dorm at the time because the other guys were at some party, and I'm alone with my door shut and locked, and one of the guys comes in with his girlfriend (he in particular looked like the kind of guy I wouldn't like, because he was really buff and always talked about doing wrestling and such). He calls to see if anyone's there and I open up my door to say I am. He had a pizza box in his hand and was like "Hey, my girlfriend and I got some pizza on the way home but didn't eat it all. You want the rest?" I was like wat at his generosity especially after my being an asshole and not talking to them for an entire week. But I asked if it was okay and he said yeah he was stuffed and gave me the pizza. Shit was so ;_;

    I left my door open from then on.

    Be brave your first fucking semester. First week of school, knock on doors and introduce yourself. If you see they have vidya, try to strike up a conversation.

    First month or so is when everyone groups up.

    I pussied out and it took a kid in my english class to force me out of my room. I spent all day playing FFXI.

    The day i met them was the greatest day of my life, we all sat down and played melee and rockband for 8 hours, we had a half day due to snow.

    what the fuck kind of fancy-ass dorms did you have? all the 4-person suites i've ever seen are 2 people per room plus a bathroom.

    greentext aside, you failed miserably. at least you learned. Fuck, I was so glad to be out of my house and among like-minded individuals for once, i was social as all hell. my room became the go-to for hanging out and shooting shit when you were bored.

    try to make an effort to meet everyone on your floor if you're living in a dorm, or at least the guys in the rooms immediately adjacent to or in front of your room. it will pay off in the end.

    Also, if your dorm has a kitchen, take some time to use it. Cook something that you can serve the whole floor, like chili or stew or tacos or fucking cake. Knock on doors and tell 'em to come out and bring a plate. You'll be instant bros with everyone.

    Yeah, same thing. Our dorm was set up where the baseball players were on the 1st and 2nd floor and the honor students were on the 3rd. I knew 4-5 guys on my floor, but most of them were dicks to me in HS. I accidentally left my door cracked one night playing Sonic 2 and like 7 of my roommates came in and watched me dominate it and were like "Holy fuck you're good"

    Left my door open the next day onwards. I had some REALLY good times with those guys.

    My first year dorm SUCKED.

    I got stuck in the slummiest freshmen dorm, where I swear almost everyone was stoned or drunk almost all the time. Our residential adviser/whatever you want to call it was a really cool guy though, and I met a couple people I liked on the floor.

    I got along pretty decent with the people there, but I fucking hated most of them because they'd be making noise at 3AM RIGHT OUTSIDE MY GODDAMN WALL THAT YOU CAN HEAR RIGHT THROUGH when I had to get to sleep to wake up for classes in the morning.

    I think they were too drunk to even remember me getting mad at them though when I did. It was just wicked awkward :/


    Second year was way better, almost everyone on our floor were friends and they loved games in general, we played vidja, 40k, majerk, and a bunch of others.

    If I do go to college by home, though, it'd be at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Still it would be about an hour drive from where I currently live, and I believe your first year you're required to live on campus anyway.

    The first half of the year is always a time when the freshmen hang out and get to know everyone. Just hope you get a good dorm assignment. I'm a guy who likes to chill and play video games, occasionally partying or playing outdoor games/sports. I was placed on a floor where EVERY GODDAMN OTHER PERSON was on the sports team AND a frat star. From 5pm until 5am every fucking night, i was the only person in my hall. Shit was lame.

    Fortunately, trolling around the other floors, i met some great nerds with whom to hang out.

    Talk to as many people as you can when you first get there, because shit polarizes pretty quick. Talk to people in your classes, ESPECIALLY if it's tied to your area of study. And, if at all possible, join a club/group with similar interests. I would have killed for there to be an anime club or a vidya gamin club or even a movie club at my school, but of course there isn't.

    LOL MIT... well at least you only have to stay there a year until you find someplace better. Start sending transfer applications in NOW so that you have the jump on the others.

    College exists to give a false sense of creating an educated workforce. That's why almost all jobs require a college degree, and the overall value of a undergraduate degee is going downhill fast.

    i worked at the student center Subway (food place not underground train) for like 5 hours 3 days a week. It was really just cash for booze/snacks/roadtrips cause everything school-related was paid for by a loan

    College exists to educate people for jobs that require expertise and commitment.

    High school dropouts can always work at McDonald's or Walmart should they ever need a job.

    They are not teachers. They are professors. Mine always got pissed if I slipped and called them a teacher.

    Since I'm in California, and all the schools here got fucked the most by the recession, losing millions in education budget cuts, most of my friends did not receive loans while school tuitions were increased 10-20%.

    Too bad I'm rich because I wipe my ass with 10,000. I don't care if my parents become broke because fuck yeah I'm going to college.

    Hey, I'm going off to Milwaukee School of Engineering for Software Engineering soon, because I want to someday make the vidya. For me, it is like high school because my high school was a technology school, and it was almost exactly the same as MSOE looks to be (same technology-oriented equipment and courses, same specializations, same guy-girl ratio T_T).

    For the past few months, I've been having nightmares about school and my roommates. I've been to this school for a year, but I'm getting new roommates this time. I pray to god I'm not with more douche bags.

    UMD is what most people call it, broski. Can't help you though, because I only worked in the Stamp to clean up after you nerds.

    There are only two types of people at Ivys:

    Spoiled rich kids who, surprisingly, are usually not that stuck up and generally friendly (also, they buy a ton of shit and don't care if you use it)

    -and-

    Poorfags who managed to be smart enough to get a full ride.

    If you're the former, you get everything on a silver platter. If you're the latter, make friends with the former, and borrow THEIR silver platter.

    And as several people in this thread have said, there is plenty of partying at ivys, just because all of the spoiled rich kids can do/buy most anything they want, and don't really have to worry about keeping their GPA above a 1.5 as long as their parents can foot the bill.

    I know /a/ would be a better place to ask, but...
    What's your advice on suppressing your power level /v/?

    I don't want to stop watching anime, but I'm thinking it's going to be taboo for the first month. And of course I plan on staying the fuck away from the anime club.

    Except now half of those job require degrees now.Seriously, I've been looking for a job to help pay my way through college and it's retarded that a secretary position or a sales position would require any level of postsecondary eduacation to qualify for it. The cashier job at Walmart wanted a fucking 2 year degree minimum.

    And many of these so called college graduates can't spell or do basic math. I wouldn't considered them skilled.

    in college its the poorfags that are the stingy anti-social assholes because they have a chip on their shoulders and are trying to "make something of themselves," rich people always make the best friends because have no reason to be mean or ungenerous, their lives are great
