1. Spend the most time possible with your friends.

2. If you have a gf, dump her, it's not going to end well and you want to have as much fun as possible.

Please fill in the following:

Things you did right during your senior year at college - broke up with my gf, partied a hell of a lot more and met a lot more women. Got a job. Went to class occasionally. Took a wine tasting class, awesome.

Things you did wrong during your senior year of college - was told by my advisor that i was fine for graduating, he was wrong. double check that shit so ur not running in a panic ur final week.

Things you wish you had done during your senior year of higher learning - realized how much fun learning is after the fact. Take that class you always wanted to but didn't because you're lazy. I never joined enough groups. Join some volunteer groups, similar interest groups, etc. I feel like I never met enough people at Cornell. Also, hit on that pretty girl at the bar you were scared of, you'll never see her again.

1. I partied alot and hooked up with many chicks.

2. Some of those chicks were complete moonpigs.

3. I wish that i had actually realized i still had the condom on when i was fucking this hot girl. I was so drunk i literally thought it fell off in her. after we stopped having sex i was getting dressed and noticed the condom was still on my cock. I said l said lets do it its still on. She said no, we can do it tommorrow. I said well can you at least suck my dick. She said no.
BTW we never had sex again

Right: pre-loaded the fall so I only had minimum course load in the fall, with one class being Sociology 101. IMO doing nothing is better than taking a class for "personal enrichment", unless personal enrichment means meeting girls.

Broke up with my gf of 3 years.

Drank a lot. Personal favorite was a 10am class we had. After every exam we skipped the rest of the day, went to the bar at 11am and closed it (or a nearby one) down. Note: it doesn't have to be your senior year to do this.

Decided I liked school and to go to grad school (obviously not in english)

Didn't work

Wrong:
Failed to hook up with the 18 yr old who moved in the apartment below me

Suggestion:
If you don't already have a job start looking now.

Get a credit card so you can party your ass off. $3-4k will be nothing to you when you start working (well relatively to the fun you had).

TY TY TY oh wise elders. Oh, and "OU SUCKS!" (Come on, you can guess which school I'm at )

Go out and drink a lot, hook up with as many chicks as you can. Don't hook up with any "moonpigs" like PrestonLuv, but at some point it will happen. Don't be ashamed that it happened, but when she starts coming around your place when you're sober, or when your friends are around, tell her you don't want a relationship and/or get a restraining order as fast as you can.

Might be too late for this, but only get classes that start after 10am. Anything earlier and you're probably going to be missing it quite a bit.

I had the sickest senior year. Technically it was my fifth year, but I didn't get to enjoy my fourth year (in a partying sense) becuase I was playing my last year of baseball. Anyway, I drank four to five nights a week during my fifth year, always hitting up the bar with the best specials because that's where everyone would be. I was a former baseball player so I still had some BMOC cred. My earliest class was at 1pm, and I was finished with my day by 4pm.

I'd wake up at noon, usually hungover, and I'd pound water/gatorade to get rehydrated. Then I'd go to class, and I didn't miss a single one the entire year, but I shouldn't miss a class when my earliest is 1pm. After class (4pm) I'd go directly to the gym and I'd kick my ass for two hours in there, lifting weights and then running 3-4 miles per day. Even though I was drinking more than the human body should be able to handle, I was in awesome shape. Then I'd come home, pound more water/gatorade, eat a big (but healthy) dinner...and then I'd start drinking with everyone. I'd end up going to the bar to drink more and hang out. I'd look for chicks to hook-up with but I didn't give off the vibe like I was out on the prowl or anything, and that worked to my advantage more times than I can count.

Rinse, and repeat.

I had one night class, too, so I got my roommates to have a drink ready for me that I could pound immediately upon arriving at my apartment, so I could "catch up" to them.

I experienced many different women that year, even one "moonpig," but she had a cute face (doesn't matter, but she did).

Up until my fifth year I had a girlfriend (that I had been with for five years, all the way back to high school). Everyone knew I was unavailable when I was with her because she went to the same school. When word got out that I was single the flood gates opened.

Goddamn those were the days!

I just added a food and nutrition and weight lifting class. Now I have a 21 hr schedule but my heavy schedule will allow me to only have to take 1 class next semester, which is Spacecraft design. I'm looking at a psych class because i've been thinking a lot about psychology recently and I'd like to actually read some material on it and get a better understanding of the brain. I also plan on taking the FE exam next semester which I had originally planned on putting off.

I spent all summer dieting and excersising so that I could build up my confidence just a touch more. It is a hell of a lot easier talking to chicks when you know you look good and your fore-head doesn't sweat. I managed to hook-up with a chick who blew me off last year because she was looking for the right man (she's leaving in a week to study abroad.)

It took me all of 5 hours to go from how was your summer to wrapping up big 'rilla and sliding between the sheets and this has given me a huge boost of energy to do everything anyone ever wanted to do their senior year of college. So keep it coming!

Is this thread just a big veiled brag then?

[a500lbgorilla]

no, because I used to find myself day dreaming "if i knew in highschool what i do know..." Y'know? Doing highschool right kinda stuff?

So I wanna do college right. I was just trying to motivate people to throw more into the thread.

[Jay67s]

worked a full time job -- carried a full load of credits (16 to 18) usually, Had a girlfriend, Raced road bicycles in my free time. Oh -- had to get 2 department heads to rearrange the class schedule so I could take my required classes my last semester.

Fun -- not really -- (20 years ago)

[AHiltz]

Right- quit my job and had more time with friends

Wrong- had a job for the first 2/3 of the year. Had zero free time, and missed out on lots. Then come to find out I would have made almost the same amount by not working since I would have been eligible for a student loan rebate.

Wrong - went to university for two years. Was told by "everyone" that U was the way to go. Wasted 2 years and shit loads of money and have nothing to show for it. Know what you want when you get out of high school, or take some time off til you figure it out.

Wished - Should have taken some of the hardware tech courses they offered. I did software development and no hardware. Expand your mind while you can.

School officials are human, and can fuck up or not care. Our job placement coordinator was about as useful as tits on a bull. Find these things out before hand by talking to others. It's your life and your career. Take charge.

Well I actually had completed all of my degree requirements by my junior year so I studied abroad in South Africa my senior year and all I needed were units to graduate so I took intro language classes, and then just some stuff I thought was interesting (like a South African fiction class and a poli sci class). So basically I was in class with a whole bunch of freshman which in South Africa is equivalent to high school seniors here, and I was able to kick ass academically simply by showing up to my classes. Which left a lot of time to roam around South and Southern Africa and I was with my girlfriend at the time (now wife) so it was a pretty kick ass year that I wouldn't change.

My last year at UCSB was also pretty good. I worked a lot, but I had to to pay my way through school. I subletted a room from a friend and lived in a house that was right on the ocean. So there was a lot of drinking/partying go on. I was also playing tons of volleyball and basketball and just enjoying life. Schoolwise, I was at a point where I knew that I was a pretty decent writer so I took a lot of classes that had papers as the bulk of the grade and basically was able to steamroll them without having to study excessively.

The main point for me was just to live life to the fullest, because I was in a perfect place to do so. So I tried to take every advantage of that.
