Hello new students! O-week is finally unfolding, and we hope you\u2019re ready to meet your peers. Knowing this school, and the kinds of people it attracts, it is only natural that many of you have never actually spoken to a person, so we know that making a good first impression can be hard. But do not fret! We at the Shady Dealer<\/em> know that our experience as upperclassmen is valuable, so we offer you a couple of tips to avoid becoming a laughingstock on campus.

3: Bragging about your toenail collection<\/b><\/p>\n

It happens to the best of us. The temptation is hard to resist, I know, but that\u2019s fucking weird man, so don\u2019t do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

4: Giving a shit about Doing Honest Work in College<\/b><\/p>\n

One of my housemates asked me if he could use my copy of Doing Honest Work in College as a doorstop, and I said no. He never really spoke to me again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
