Make the most of your college days with these handy tips, courtesy of 48, the mobile network designed for 18 to 22-year-olds.
Your care-free life in college is short, so here's a few tips to make sure you get the most from those blissful years. We already brought you 24 tips right
here. Here's another 24...
25. Loads of cafes and bars near the campus will have lunch deals that are practically steals. Time your big lunch right and you are done eating for the day for diddly squat.
26. Taking Fridays off is risky habit to get into, but now and again it won't hurt anyone.
27. Don't try to friend a lecturer on Facebook
28. Or follow them on Twitter
29. In short, keep it strictly business with the powers that be
30. Don't forget about your friends from home, you need someone to drink with at Christmas remember
31. Make lots of new friends too, you need someone to drink with for the rest of the year.
32. Buy some of those huge posters you often see on sale on campus. They'll cover up the marks on the wall if nothing else.
33. If a couple of rolls of toilet paper happen to make their way from the college bathroom into your bag for you to take home it might not be the worst thing.
34. If going to a college far away from home, don't allow yourself to instantly adopt the accent of the locals. You'll be slagged mercilessly as soon as you get home. And rightly so.
35. Conversely, if adopting another dialect on a temporary basis increases your chances of getting lucky, then swallow your pride and do it.
36. Befriend someone from your home town who has a car. It'll save you being stuck in a bus for hours on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings.
37. When it comes to reimbursing said friend for the lift, 'I'll buy you a pint' is always a more preferable currency than actual cash.
38. Don't be afraid to shave your head from time to time because good haircuts are expensive and cheap ones are usually crap.
39. If possible, spend a year abroad on the Erasmus programme
40. Go on a J1 summer trip
41. Try and maintain some form of fitness regime to counterbalance the nights out and occasional unhealthy eating
42. Learn the rules of poker. Then forget them. Then learn them again.
43. Spare bedding. Always have spare bedding. Steal some from your mam's, even if it's just an old sheet that doubles as a tablecloth at Christmas. If people are drunk enough, they won't care.
44. Don't lie to your lecturers, especially the part-timers. Chances are they won't care that your assignment is late and probably pulled out the same set of excuses when they were students.
45. Watch 'The Big Lebowski' at least once a month, while drinking cans. Same goes for 'Withnail and I.' And 'The Hangover.' Call it media studies.
46. Be prepared for your best mate to get together with 'the one'. We mean 'your one.' The one you won't be able to live without. We can tell you now that you're better off because she's never seen 'Breaking Bad' and has six Harry Styles posters on her wall.
47. Be dragged kicking and screaming into a lecture at least once in your life. It's liberating.
48. Bring a second coat to college to leave on the back of a seat in the library.
