Avoid these Mistakes!
1. Don't date anyone a friend used to like. Doubly so if they used to date.
2. Avoid too fast too soon. Let your relationship develop naturally.
3. Make sure that the other person's dating values are similar to yours.
4. Don't take classes or live together just because you're dating someone, break-ups can make these situations very awkward.
Now some tips for the guys:
1. Eye contact and body language! You're a confident alpha male that can get any woman he wants. Women pick up on these cues, so when you approach a girl, make eye contact, don't look away, stand up straight, and don't cower like a scared puppy!
2. If there was ever an attitude that women fall in love with, it's the cocky and funny attitude. The "I could care less if you were attracted to me 'cause I know I can get you and any women in this room, and I'm definitely gonna bust you for little things, but hey at least you're laughing" attitude works wonders.
3. Do not shower women with gifts and money. It just shows that you're trying to compensate.
4. Best first date spot? The local coffee place, a good place for stimulating conversation. The dinner and movie dates don't allow for interaction, and more often than not, women fall too much in love with the movie characters to focus on you. (read: Wall-E)
5. Do not pick up girls in the gym! I repeat DO NOT PICK UP GIRLS IN THE GYM! Girls are there to exercise, not to get hit on. Besides, you're sweaty, she's sweaty and not feeling at all hot, so just avoid it.
6. Best place to meet a girl on campus? Classes and bookstores are a great start. For example, you can start by meeting girls in class by forming study groups, or finding someone with similar interests in the bookstore.
7. Witty comments! Back to the bookstore, suppose you find a hot girl reading some celebrity tabloid. Go up to her and say, "Reading fine American classic literature, I see." This works wonders and opens up a world of conversation. Point is, don't make a typical comment that's predictable.
9. Don't worry about rejection! So what? You move on, and you approach your next target.
Some tips for the ladies
Really now, women don't need tips. Women have and always will be at the advantage in terms of attracting guys. But what if there's that one guy that you just can't get over? Saying, "Hi!" would be a good start. I can't get over how often girls complain about not being able to meet guys and getting together with that one guy they like, yet not even say a single word to them. Look, not every guy is going to approach you and we're notoriously bad at reading body language, so we don't have any idea that you like us. Moral of the story? Introduce yourself and let your personality and beauty do the rest.
College Relationships are Great! Just keep these in mind
Freshman 15 sure is a *expletive* ain't it?
It's happened to almost all of us, the awkward sleeping schedules, crazy drinking, all-nighters, a metric ton of junk food, dining halls, and lack of proper nutrition wreak havoc on our bodies. Even worse yet, we're over here trying to look good and stay healthy and the college lifestyle certainly isn't conducive to that. What to do? Here's what you do:
Exercise - Yes, this is obvious. Almost any college or university has a gym. I'm not talking just cardio, but also weight-lifting. Get yourself on a weightlifting regimen and incorporate cardio. By toning and building lean muscle mass, your body's metabolism will naturally burn more calories.
Dining Halls - They're unavoidable. Food, and lots of it... and hey, its all-you-can-eat. With the ever-increasing price on goods, dining halls simply cannot afford to make the greatest quality food. Even worse yet, all that junk food, fat, refined sugars and uneccessary calories are punishing. So be smart, avoid the fried stuff, ice-cream and all the other delectable goodies that you know are bad for you. Common sense goes a long way here. Stock up on fruite and veggies, and take in a lot of fiber.
Avoid drinking excess alcohol - Oh yes, a staple amongst college students. Easiest advice? Avoid it all together. Seeing as how this is impossible for most of us, take it in moderation and double fist alcohol with water. Also, avoid all the sugary mixed stuff. A binge once in awhile is ok, just don't do it every night.
Watch water consumption - Make sure that you are drinking enough water to keep you hydrated. If you're not peeing at least every couple hours, you're not taking in enough water.
Eat regularly - Make sure that you eat regular meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism up. After about 5 hours without food, your body goes into starvation mode, and dramatically drops your metabolism. Not good. So bring granola bars, nuts and fruits with you onto campus to snack on and your body will keep that metabolism revving all day.

Thinking Makes You Fat
...and here I never thought I could say that studying can possibly do more harm than good. However, in reality doing intellectual work could increase caloric intake, and combined with the fact that we tend to be less active when doing such activities, one can only assume that thinking too much could be one of the reasons for the obesity epidemic. I'd love to see a correlation study between amount of intellectual work (ie. publications, works, essays, papers, etc.) vs. BMI. Hit the link for more info.

How to stretch that gazillion page paper
Its 7 in the morning and the stupid thing is due at 9. What can you do? You have another page to go and you're stuck. Of all the times to have writer's block. Well, you simply do as many of the great college essay writers do and stretch the damn thing. Trust me, these work, especially coming from a guy who detests papers.
1. Background info. Professors love background info. Give some info on things going on around the author for that book report. Give some reasons why a particular historical event occurred and how it relates to the topic of your paper.
2. Pad that sucker with some quotes. Now important part is to use some good quotes. Professors know when you're trying too hard to pad your paper with quotes, so make sure to relevant quotes.
3. Symbolism. Ah symbolism... there is any and every way to analyze a symbol. The great thing is that there is no such thing as a "wrong" interpretation, unless you're professor is one of those.
4. Bring in another topic. That's right, compare and contrast is the staple of my essay-writing, so bring in random crap with obscure similarities and bs to no end. Trust me, it's as if that blinking cursor will do all the writing.
5. Now if you really, really have to you can resort to www.antistudy.com. Do not, I repeate, DO NOT plagiarize any work. Besides, many professors use turnitin.com and it'll automagically pick up on your moral hiatus. Once you get caught, that stuff stays with you for LIFE! However, antistudy is a good resource for topic ideas, sources of symbolism, and a host of other things that will inspire your writing.
