Freshman College Tips

Cuz it’s august and some of you are freshies.

-How many clothes you pack depends on whether laundry is free. If yes, you just need one week of clothes plus some nice clothes for interviews, networking, date night, etc. If no, bring two weeks of clothes and as as many underwears as you can get. Wear everything except underwear twice, and voila, you only have to do laundry once a month.

-On that note, if you have a dorm laundry unit make sure you set a timer so you don’t leave it in there forever. If you have to go to a laundromat, bring your homework with you so your laundry time is useful instead of boring.

-memorize your damn social security number if you’re a US citizen. You’ll need it a lot and memorizing it is safer than bringing your card everywhere. Also memorize you student ID number bc you’ll be using that a lot too.

-Buy anti-wrinkle spray. Your nice clothes will get wrinkly and there’s no space for an ironing board.

-If there’s a floor kitchen with a microwave then you don’t need to bring your own.

-Don’t fucking make popcorn is2g you will never get the smell out of your dorm and if you burn it and set the fire alarm off everyone hates you.

-If you can’t afford a fridge fear not because tbh you can get along fine without one. Literally the only thing me and my roommate used the fridge for freshman year was to keep the danimals cold. Ramen doesn’t need to be fridged, nor does bread, peanut butter, honey, fruit snacks, granola bars, and a lot of jellies. The downside of this is that you can’t take leftovers, or have meat or dairy at dorm, but you’ll manage.

-Talk to your roommate before arriving at school! Very important!! You need to hash out who brings what for things that can be shared. Also if you each pick a color scheme to stick to it’ll be easier to know who’s stuff is what at the end of the year, but that’s hardly necessary.

-Laptop is important if you have one but if you can’t afford one fear not because your campus library will have a bunch of computers and there’s probably assorted computer labs across campus. I know at my school we have at least one in every building.

-If you have a laptop make sure to bring a charger and an ethernet cord and maybe even an hdmi cord.

-When you get someone’s phone number make sure to put their first name, last name, and where the fuck you know them from. Also a picture if possible.

-Go to campus events, especially the first month! There will probably be free food, and you can make friends!

-Go to dorm events, especially the first month! This is how you get dorm friends, and dorm friends means that you get cool things like friendship, invitations to game/movie nights, free food, and the option of borrowing shit that other people have that you don’t, like hair clippers or a stapler.

-Go to events within your major! There’s free seminars on interesting shit, free food, networking, information about how to get all your classes done without having to spend an extra year or two, and free food!

-If you have big pockets and any sense of sneakiness, you can bring leftovers from the campus food halls. Muffins wrapped in a napkin works best. Bananas also work well. Pizza does not.

-look online to see if you can find a pdf of your books before buying them. If not, get them used. If the newest edition just came out two weeks before school started, ask the prof if you can use the old edition. My chemistry prof straight-up told us that the syllabus says get the 13th edition, but we could go back as far as the 9th edition if we wanted and it wouldn’t really affect us, so everyone in the class went and got 9th editions that were like $10. International editions are also good and they’re way cheaper.

-You can also rent your books. You can do this through the college bookstore, but also your campus library probably has a copy that you can check out for a few hours of in-library use.

-Find out what free shit your school offers and take full advantage of it. At my school we have free therapy, free job help, camping and sports equipment you can check out, bikes you can check out, a food bank for students, a well-stocked gym that’s free for student use, free yoga classes, free home-buyers classes, and more. Absolutely take advantage of that shit.

-Take an 8 am class during your first semester if you have to. You’re fresh from high school and you still have that high school mentality. Then never do it again. You will suffer.

-If you’re gonna experiment, remember, let people you trust know about it so if something bad happens they can save your ass. Also if you end up needing an ambulance, tell the fucking paramedics what you took. They aren’t cops. They won’t turn you in.

-Carry pepper spray if you’re allowed to. This is a tip for people of all genders. I got my buddy some after he almost got mugged one night.

-Don’t forget a stapler.

-If your school charges for printing, the town library probably doesn’t. Check out your options. If both charge for printing, you can probably make a dorm friend who brought a printer and will let you print stuff once in a while.

-Go to office hours. No question is too stupid.

-Put due dates on your calendar and put reminders in your phone. Otherwise you will forget about that big project until the last minute.

-If you keep large ziploc bags in your backpack you can take home leftovers from events.

-check your school email at least five times a day. Check it when you first wake up. Check it before every class. Check it at lunch. Don’t be that kid who walks all the way across campus to find out class was cancelled.

okay so when ticketmaster announced that there was going to be a group photo option for the astro ny fanmeet i hauled my ass to the gym for the first time in three years and ahHHHH: a binu version 

okay so we know bin goes to the gym fairly often

eunwoo,,,,,,,,,,,, does not, 

i mean he probably does but for the purposes of fic let’s ignore that

it takes a lot for eunwoo to go to the gym 

mostly because he doesn’t like to exercise around other people bc the people who go to the gym regularly are gym rats and they all are hella fit and he doesn’t want to be the only one puffing away on the elliptical 

and so he locates the most deserted gym on campus bc hey if nobody goes there it lessens the chance of running into someone right?

cue eunwoo going to the gym at 11pm at night bc hey, that’s when everyone’s doing their homework or preparing to go to sleep right? who’s going to be at the gym? 

nobody

he hopes 

eunwoo climbing onto the elliptical and putting his music on and starting  a forty minute cycle 

also eunwoo being hella bored bc all he has to look at is himself 

in the mirror

which i mean, isn’t a bad sight but it’s also kind of boring 

eunwoo frowning and hopping off the elliptical 

eunwoo fishing his laptop out and by some magical feat manages to balance it between the electronic board and the handles 

hell yeah time to catch up on all the fancams he didn’t manage to watch during finals 

eunwoo going to his fave btob fansite and loading focus cams of sungjae 

good shit!!!!

eunwoo bopping along to the songs on the elliptical and watching sungjae dance 

bin blinking blearily at his alarm clock 

HECK 

he was supposed to wake up from his nap at 6 so he could work out before dinner 

it’s now

11pm

heck 

bin groaning and tugging his shoes on 

thank god there’s a gym right downstairs in the basement of his dorm and thank god literally nobody uses it 

bin grabbing his water bottle and heading downstairs 

eunwoo jamming out to movie when suddenly this guy comes in 

rip

r i p 

it’s already too late he has his laptop propped really obviously and a fancam of sungjae is playing he can’t take any of it back 

whatever anyway he was here first, this other guy can judge him eunwoo’s leaving soon anyway!!!

bin squinting at the guy in the gym

he’s seen strange things in the gym before

like this one girl filming a dance audition using the mirrors in the gym 

but this is the first time he’s walked into the gym to see someone using his laptop on the elliptical 

wait

is that a fancam 

bin squinting but dammit he didn’t bring his glasses down so he can’t see who the hell the fancam is of

bin lowkey hoping it’s of jungkook so he can watch too bc he’s behind on his jungkook fancam watch-later list

bin sliding onto the elliptical next to the guy

and at this point he’s been focussing on the laptop bc heck he wants to know who the fancam is of

listen when the girl slid onto the elliptical next to me i had a mini anxiety shot bc there were like 3 other ellipticals to choose from yet she picked the one right next to me i nearly wept

eunwoo:

eunwoo @ god: WHY 

bin squinting at the laptop bc he doesn’t know if he doesn’t recognise whoever it is or if it’s just bc he doesn’t have his glasses on 

bin starting his work out while trying to sneak glances 

eunwoo trying his best to ignore the guy next to him

because HECK he’s f i t 

he’s had his eyes on the guy the moment he opened the door to the gym and

good lord 

he doesn’t know if it’s allowed or whatever to wear tank tops in the gym (it is) but it should be illegal 

bc the guy next to him ??? has biceps the size of eunwoo’s face probably

and he’s pounding away at double eunwoo’s speed and he literally isn’t even breaking a sweat

and he looks so focussed and go dd a m n his eyes

asjdlfhakjsd i want to describe it but i literally cannot see bin as sexy he’s stuck as a small whiny younger brother in my brain send help

eunwoo nearly crying

but also crying bc heck sungjae is one beautiful man like has anyone ever biased someone this amazing??? no 

bin giving up bc heck !!!!! whoever it is dances pretty well 

i mean, nobody, in bin’s humble opinion, can compare to bin’s ultimate bias *flips hair* but

he wants to kn o w 

bin coughing slightly and finally looking up at the guy with the laptop and asking: “uh so, who is that?”

uh

woah

forget whoever it was on the screen

the guy next to him???? bin is about to CHOKE

?????????

what the heck??????

even with his hair swept away from his eyes with sweat and his cheeks ruddy

nobody should look this beautiful while working out ????/

bin about to fall off the damn elliptical 

eunwoo screaming internally bc HECK 

he was anxious enough before with someone getting onto a machine this close to him

and got even more anxious when he looked up and found out the new guy was hella fit ?????

and now ???? the guy wants to talk ?????????????

eunwoo about to chOKE 

but also it’s about sungjae and he’s very happy to promote his ult thank u very much 

eunwoo: “ah yeah, this is sungjae from btob?”

bin slowing the heck down on his own machine bc he’s damn ready to fkin fly off 

if that guy’s face wasn’t enough to stun him off the elliptical his voice ?????????? literally??????????? the most beautiful thing bin has ever heard????? 

forget his ult, this guy at the gym is his new ult than k s 

and he’s looking at bin with a curious and slightly shy expression and bin’s heart is literally this close to flying out of his chest 

eunwoo: ???????

he literally hasn’t responded to eunwoo is he okay 

is he that wowed by sungjae bc eunwoo can 1000% relate 

so can i tbh and sungjae isn’t even my bias in btob

eunwoo: “uh yeah do you stan btob too?”

wait

alarms going off in eunwoo’s head bc !!!!!!! DAMMIT if he stanned btob he wouldn’t have to ask eunwoo who the person on screen was dhfkdjkhsdjfhalskjdf

ajsdfhlaksjdfh dammit eunwoo !!! good job making a fool of yourself you’re never going to talk to him again good job for messing this up !!!!

bin finally recovering himself and remembering social conventions and yes he has to reply 

bin: “ah no, i stan another group haha”

bin:

eunwoo:

eunwoo panicking slightly bc wtf he wasn’t listening clearly before but this guy has the softest voice he’s ever heard and now that he’s looking directly at eunwoo ???????

eunwoo’s pretty sure his face is about to set on fire 

if he asks to know more about btob eunwoo doesn’t know what he’s going to do 

if he agrees he’s pretty sure he’d combust halfway through them talking asdhfjkasdhlf especially if the guy keeps looking at him the same way he’s looking at eunwoo now with his sparkling eyes and his cute cat smile

but also if he says no he’ll never see this guy again so !!!

what do what do !!!!!!

bin:

dammit he can’t let the conversation slip now ????? what if he never sees this angel again???? so

beep beep time to be shameless 

bin: “ah but i’d love to know more about this group, if you have the time?”

eunwoo flushing and nodding before he can stop himself 

oh lord  

heyyyyy introducing someone to the best vocal group of all time??? eunwoo’s shit 1000%

doing all this without his heart combusting ?? whoops 

bin: “ah great, it’s a date then!”

eunwoo: nearly falls off the elliptical 

i mean the girl who started talking to me was an army and she left the gym literally two minutes after i told her it was a moonbin fancam but maybe one day ;;;;
