Well, I'm off to college in the Marrow. To the life of interesting classes, endless booze, and hot women. Any last advice for a lowly college freshman?

don't spend all your money on booze in the first term. limit yourself so you can keep up a consistant level of drinking throughout both semesters!

Don't take any classes before 10 A.M. in the morning. Thats the best I can give you.

Dont expect endless booze ... dont expect all the women to have time for you ... but you are right about the intresting classes part :p

Some classes will be very boring, and the endless booze and hot women mean you are going there to party not to get an education. You will flunk by the second semester and drop out in your sophomore year. Signed, the Sage. :D

Seriously, I wish you the best. Study hard and limit the parties.

It's probably not to late to shift your classes about. Drop that one and take the same class later in the day.

'Cause there are going to be mornings where you are in no way prepared to go to school at 8:30. And why would you want to, anyways?

Another thing: Ramen noodles get sickening very fast, are very fatty, and aren't at all filling. Buy Mac'n'Cheese in bulk, instead.

Oh, and another thing, meet people. Meet lots of people. All of them, if possible.

As various profs have told me, post-secondary, in terms of getting a career later in life, is just as much about the contacts you make in school as it is about learning.

Very fatty. No, stick with the Ramen. Less fat and more varity. Don't forget the canned tunafish.
