1. Drinking Punch You don’t know what’s in it. The people handing it to you don’t know what’s in it. Oh, and the fruit floating on the top… it’ll get you wasted too. 2. Assume You Know Assumptions are lazy thoughts. They are based on fear and ignorance. Challenge them. You’ll be shocked to discover how wrong (or right) you’ve been. BONUS: Invite others to challenge their assumptions about you. 3. Look Down at Your Phone While Walking You’ll walk into bikers, buses, and trees. You’ll miss out on making eye contact with new friends, old friends, and attractive strangers. Look! See that cute guy or girl from English class walking by trying to get your attention? Forget it. You just walked into a tree… 4. Expect Your Roomie to Be Your Bestie Friendship is a bonus. Hope for it, but don’t require it. A roommate is a roommate. When you don’t require friendship, you can have honest conversations. Ironically, this is how you will develop a lasting friendship. 5. Go Home Every Weekend When you’re home, you are not at school meeting new people and getting involved. That’s not University. That’s home. 6. Be Surprised if You Get Homesick or Herpes (not related) According to the Higher Education Research Institute, 66.6 percent of first-year students admitted feel lonely or homesick. According to the CDC, about one in five college students graduate with herpes. If you feel homesick or it burns when you pee, turn to the people in your corner (when done peeing) and get help. 7. Go to Cancun on Credit Cards Pay cash. Spring break tans last about a week (spray tans last longer). Credit card payments can last years (much longer than spray tans). ALWAYS pay your bills (at least the minimum). Bad credit can mean no car, apartment, or home in the future. 8. Get Stuck Behind the Fifth Wall Physically your body is on campus, but emotionally you’re connected to friends, family, long distance partners, and strangers off campus. Use technology to meet new people on campus, not to hide from them. 9. See Your Long-Distance Sweetheart EVERY Weekend Whenever you get the urge to text, talk, or see them, only do it half the time. Spend the other half of the time texting, talking, and visiting with people you didn’t know before you arrived on campus. 10. Walk in the Shower Barefoot If the floors could talk, they would scream. WEAR SHOWER SHOES!!! 11. Text, Tweet, or Post It While Drunk or Angry You will sober up and cool down, but your pics, posts, and texts will last forever. There’s no such thing as “temporary” online (or on Snapchat). 12. Eat Pizza, Cookies, and Wings at 3 a.m. Every Night You’ll miss classes, gain weight, and go broke. The freshman 15 can quickly turn into the freshman 50. 13. Take 8 a.m. Classes (unless you have no choice) Rookie mistake. You will never get up. Especially after you’ve been up until 3 a.m. eating pizza, cookies, and wings every night. 14. Get Naked Online Assume your mom, dad, brother, sister, friends, grandparents, priest, rabbi, imam, neighbor, future employers, future husband or wife, professors, and that creepy guy or girl sitting next to you in class will see it. 15. Ask Mom or Dad to Fix it It’s your mess. Clean it up. Take 24 hours to process big emotions. Take time to marinate. It’s how you become seasoned. Exception: if it’s dangerous or criminal, get help immediately. 16. Keep Secrets Secrets turn into shame. Shame turns into regret. Regret means living in the past. Living in the past means avoiding the present and future. Give voice to secrets and avoid the shame. 17. Be a Perfectionist Perfectionists always fail. Imperfectionists are always perfect. Celebrate the act of doing. Use the outcome NOT to measure success, but rather to learn, grow, and work to be your personal best. Suggested reading: Mindset by Carol Dweck & The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. 18. Expect University (and life) to Just Happen Weather happens. University experiences are created. What’s your plan? A plan includes people, places, and patience. 19. Ignore Your Gut Don’t walk alone. Don’t take drinks from strangers. don’t trust people you just met (even attractive people with good hygiene). Follow your gut. It protects you. People who don’t respect your gut are not people you need in your life. 20. Hide Bad Grades Celebrate your Cs, Ds, and Fs by getting help in September or October. Get help before you need it. December is too late. Getting help always makes you look smart. 21. Get Drunk and Hook Up Drunk is dangerous. There is no such thing as consent when incapacitated or too drunk. Not my opinion. It’s a fact. 22. Limit Yourself to One Group of Friends Work to create three different groups of friends. When one group of friends does something stupid, illegal, or out of alignment with your values, you’ll always have somewhere else to go and other people to go with. 23. Try to Be Liked by Everyone College isn’t about who likes you (that was high school). University is about what you want. So, what do you want? What’s your plan to get it? 24. Think You’re Alone (You Are Never Alone) According to ACHA-NCHA data, 32.6 percent of University students felt so depressed that it was difficult to function and 46.6 percent of University students felt things were hopeless. The good news: you are never alone. You have therapists, counselors, advisors, residence life staff, professors, support staff, spiritual leaders, hotlines, friends, family, and students who can help you. I’m here too. Need help now? Call the National Hopeline: 1-800-Suicide. 25. Fight the Uncomfortable Life is 90 percent amazing and 10 percent difficult. The secret? Don’t fight the uncomfortable. If you do, the 10 percent will take up 100 percent of your time. Instead, face the uncomfortable. Use your people, places, and patience to help you get comfortable with the uncomfortable. |
2. Learn To Play a Musical Instrument Learning how to play a musical instrument can also make you smarter in more ways than one. Skills such as concentration, mathematics, memory and coordination all tend to be well developed in people that play musical instruments. Learning to play an instrument also has outstanding benefits for the brain. Irrespective of how complicated or simple the learning process of a musical instrument can be, knowing how to play anyone can help to improve cognitive function. When we learn to play a musical instrument, there’s an improvement in our hearing, audio, memory and motor skills which helps us to better coordinate our memory hearing and hand coordination. 3. Video Games A lot of studies have outlined the effects of video games on the brain. Video games actually have almost the same training effect on the brain as riding a bike or reading a book. This is because the brain tends to form thousands of new connections while it learns new things. Moreover, the fact that there is a reward system in games tend to improve the players cognitive and motor skills. As a matter of fact, lots of brain scans have shown that video games tend to affect three parts of the brain. The parts include the frontal lobe which helps to maintain attention, the parietal lobe, which orients attentionand the anterior cingulate, which helps to regulate and control attention. As such, if you want to reason smartly, you may want to consider playing video games since they help to demonstrate exemplary skills in abstract thinking, deductive/inductive thinking, symbolic thinking sequential reasoning. 4. Write, Don’t Type Researchers at UCLA and Princeton University say that students who took notes by hand during classes tend to perform better than students who typed their notes with the use of computers. Writing by hand tends to work better than typing because it tends to engage and stimulate our brains more. This is because our brains tend to work more when we write than when we type out letters from a keyboard. The extra work we give our brain by writing helps to keep our minds sharper by clarifying our thoughts. It also helps us remember things better and achieve our goals in a more subtle and friendly manner. 5. Read More According to a recent study at Emory University, reading fiction novels can have marked benefits on our brains. The study found out that when we are engrossed with a work of fiction, there is an enhanced improvement in brain function and connectivity. It also improves our ability to put ourselves in the shoes of other people by flexing our imagination in a way that is similar to direct visualizations. More so, another study found that people who read fiction had a higher probability of empathising with others and tend to have a better understanding of others. This means that reading more of fictional stories will make us smarter and nicer since we’d be able to see the world from the perspective of others. 6. Consume Coffee According to a study published in Popular Science magazine, coffee containing caffeine can help to make the mind clearer through brain stimulation. Caffeine primarily acts by blocking the effects of adenosine which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. By blocking the inhibitory effects of Adenosine, caffeine helps to increase neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine. A lot of controlled medical trials have demonstrated the effects of caffeine on the human brain and most have come to the conclusion that it helps to improve general cognitive functions including reaction time, memory and vigilance. More so, Coffee also has an amazing effect on our brain, skin and body in general. It is however important to remember that all caffeinated beverages should be consumed with measure to avoid their negative effects. 7. Be Mindful Being mindful entails being aware of your thoughts and feelings without passing judgement by focusing on the present. Mindfulness helps us to be self-aware, thoughtful, and mentally present when we make decisions. A research conducted at The Wharton School and published in the journal of Psychological Science, says that “one 15-minute focused-breathing meditation may help people make smarter choices.” By being mindful for a short period, we can make make more rational decisions since we’d be able to consider all the information available at a particular point in time. |
