I have skipped out on this thread, but who the hell spends $200 on a pair of jeans unelss you are freaking loadedthen thats just crazy talk. Men have manicures ????? Maybe once just to get the experience but isnt that should be it.

There is a difference between neat, tidy, dignified but manicures, label shopping and fussing over every bit of your appearance is going OTT.

Some college pro-tips (in random order as I think of them):

1.) Do the assigned reading. The difference between sailing through exams and papers and failing/barely scraping by is often simply reading the books you're assigned. This is especially true of social science and humanities classes. The science/math corollary is to do the suggested problems, even if they aren't graded.

It blew my mind how few people in my classes bothered reading any of the assigned materials, even when the professor explicitly stated that you would need to write papers/answer questions on the final about the assigned materials.

2.) Take at least one class each semester for (intellectual) fun. Some people like to take a true "fun" class every once in a while - ballroom dancing, badminton, etc. If you're interested, go for it. However, you'll probably get more out of a more rigorous, challenging course focusing on a topic you're interested in learning more about. If you've always wanted to learn more about the Civil War, find an upper-level seminar course. If you've read a few great Japanese novelists and enjoyed them, find a survey of Japanese literature. And so on.

If you're intellectually curious, college is like a giant candy store. Go out and learn about whatever you want to. Classes outside my major had as much, and in some cases more, of a lasting impact on me than classes within my major. I worked damn hard in many classes that I did not have to take, but because I loved the subject matter, it was easier to do so. These classes also came up very often (always in a positive context) during my med school and grad school interviews.

3.) Don't go to college until you're ready. If you have the option (you can afford to do so, etc), and you are inclined to do so, take a year after high school to backpack Europe, volunteer in your community, generally get your shit together, etc. You lose absolutely nothing by waiting a year (or two) to enter college. Your parents might take some convincing, but it's a fight that's worth winning.

The worst mistake you can make is to go to college before you're ready. College is expensive, time-consuming, and important to your future as an adult. Don't start things off with a semester of D's because you aren't really ready to be there. If you start thinking about med school later, you're going to be a tad pissed at yourself.

4.) Don't be afraid to take a fifth year (if you can afford to do so, etc.). I left college with a Chemistry BS and three minors in unrelated subjects. I wish I had taken another year to fill out my liberal arts education.

However...

5.) Try to finish in a reasonable amount of time (4-5 years). "Want to get the most out of your college experience" can transform into "been here for 8 years and you're still not close to finishing." At some point, you're going to want to leave and get a job, go to grad school, or whatever. When that time comes, it's nice to be done with everything. Spending a fifth year in college when you'd rather be doing something else seems to make most people depressed and angry.

A similar lesson applies when it comes to delaying the start of college. Take too much time off after high school and you will forget how to be a student. If you've been adventuring and/or working for cash money, writing a ten page paper about Pride and Prejudice for no reason other than "you have to" isn't going to inspire your best work.

6.) Don't email your professors unless it's absolutely necessary (e.g. you're sick and can't make it to a required lecture). Professors hate receiving complex questions via email. If you don't understand a concept, go to office hours; it'll be easier for you and your professor.

Also, if you do need to send an email, for the love of all that it is holy, remember that you're not on GAF. Use complete sentences, formal language, don't say "LOL," etc.

7.) Get involved in undergrad research (if applicable). When you do so, the quality of mentorship you'll receive should trump your interest in the actual topic being studied (within limits). If you want to study cancer, but the lab that's studying it is run by a total asshole, run away. On the other hand, if there's a lab studying diabetes, which you think it pretty interesting, but the boss is genuinely interested in mentoring you and making you a better scientist, dive in! What you study is less important than how you study it (obviously don't pick a topic that you find totally boring, but don't get your heart set on anything super specific).

8.) If you're shooting for competitive post-graduate programs (med school, law school), try as hard as you can to ignore what your classmates are doing. I spent a semester freaking out because I wasn't taking the same biology classes as the most competitive pre-meds, didn't have any papers published, etc. When I finally chilled out and just focused on doing what I loved and thought was important, I had a much better time.

9.) Be careful about partying/gaming/wasting time. College presents unprecedented social opportunities, which are important for all sorts of reasons. However, don't forget that you're fundamentally at college to learn. If you're going out on the weekend, get your work done ahead of time. It's actually not that hard to balance it all out if you work hard during the week. You might have to skip a few good parties if you've got shit to do. So be it.

In general, be careful. Getting in legal trouble or trouble with your school is going to bite you in the ass later on. As is alcoholism.

10.) Do not cheat. In particular, learn what plagiarism is and avoid it all costs. Plagiarists are the child-molesters of the academic world, i.e. the lowest-of-the-low. Chances are, you'll have at least one professor who is angry enough about the issue to keep a file of old papers, google passages of your papers, submit papers to online services that check for plagiarism, etc. When you get caught, your future could be fucked.

11.) When I went for orientation, a professor (actually a pretty young guy) gave an hour-long speech about leaving your TV at home. Eh. There are some damn fine shows out there - watching "The Wire" is not only a ton of fun, it's fucking good for you. Just go easy on the TV watching and game playing.

12.) Get on email lists about seminars in your department/departments you're interested in. Not many undergrads go to these - professors love it when you show up, you can pick which ones to go to, so you'll learn some neat stuff, and it may prove helpful in future essays/papers/etc.

I'm the only person I know who actually snuck into classes in college (I remember sneaking into the back of an anthro class to see "Burden of Dreams" (which is awesome) and hear the discussion afterward. Great memory).

13.) Don't be a suck-up.

My dad is a prof (not in the department I was in - that would be weird). I once mentioned this kiss-ass in my chem class who was the worst suck-up pre-med I've ever seen (that's saying something). When I said his name, my dad immediately said "That guy? He's a total suck-up. It's extremely annoying." It turned out my dad had him as a student in a freshman survey class, which I did not know.

14.) Never, ever, ever say that your major is "pre-med." At many schools, you can't major in "pre-med." If you can at your school, don't. Major in an actual, real subject. The undergrad requirements for med school are Gen chem, Organic Chem, a year of physics, and a year of biology. What the fuck can you do with a "major" in a smattering of low-level science classes?!

Even if you do want to go to med school, tell people your major is Biology, or Chemistry, or English Literature, or whatever it actually is. Never mention medical school unless compelled to under torture. People hate pre-meds, and for good reason. Pre-meds are the most annoying, suck-up, assholish, grade-grubbing, little pieces of shit in the universe. I should know - I went to med school with a whole school full of former pre-meds.

Fuck pre-meds.

15.) Not everyone should go to college. Community College and Technical School are better choices for plenty of people. Simply going to college will not, in and of itself, make you smarter, sexier, more awesome. If you want to fix cars, learn how to do that - I certainly can't do it. The people who everyone, deep down, respects the most are the ones who choose to do something they love and do it well. Having a BA, BS, PhD, MD, etc means nothing next to that.


Okay, so that's quite a bit of writing. More college (or pre-med) pro-tips (or clarifications) if there's any interest. I actually have some more specific pro-tips for applying to med school and grad school.

Definitely this. You can be "not ready" for college. I know I was. I could have and should have waited to go to college as I just wasn't ready emotionally, academically, intellectually, and socially. I should have gone out and lived on my own, either working or traveling or whatever, before going to college. I didn't, and my one shot at college was a waste.


Also, one tip I have- don't make life decisions based on what other people want for you, even if you trust them well. You will often be let down by how little everyone else knows what's best for you.

don't be estranged from your parents and not be married and be childless and be under 25, because you will not be able to fill out your FAFSA without your parents financial info, and noone will help you find any other way, leaving you to have to struggle to put yourself through community college out of your own pocket, only able to take one class a semester because any more and you wouldn't be able to pay your rent.

Any tips on paying for college?

Kinda. I left high school with a $100 scholarship for textbooks. That's it. On the other hand, my dad is a professor so I got a good deal at our state university, and my parents had always planned to pay for my school. Things were pretty easy for me, but I still have a few tips to share, I guess.

1.) State schools are an excellent value. I spent a year at an Ivy League school as a research assistant. We had an undergrad in our lab, a Geology Major. His tuition was something like 30 grand year...for a Geology degree from a good, but not top, department. Fucking stupid.

My two closest friends, graduating from a very good Chemistry department at a large state school, at or near the top of their respective classes, both had their pick of graduate programs. If you work hard, you'll do well wherever you go. There are plenty of great reasons to go to top private universities, or small liberal arts colleges, but, if you're paying for it, and the scholarships aren't there, you'll get more bang for your buck at state schools.

2.) At my state school, I worked my ass off, discovering and sticking to the points I outlined in my last post. Entering with $100 in scholarships, I left college having made money from my studies (even after taking over paying the bills from my parents). I won several scholarships from my department (the sciences generally have more money to sprinkle around than the humanities and social sciences), received several grand each summer to do undergrad research full-time (I would have done it for free), and snagged a large national scholarship my Junior year. I was identified as a strong student and my extremely hard work was amply rewarded.

I don't think I'm the smartest guy in the world, but I worked harder than most people I knew. I also had a reputation for being an honest student (long story) who did not cheat, which I think helped.

In general, the best way to pay for college is to do well in college. That doesn't cover the initial costs, obviously, but once you get going, there's a scholarship snowball effect. You may be able to make back your initial loans by your senior year.

The caveat here is that some departments have more money and are more interested in recruiting students. There are too many people who want to be English professors, and their departments don't have tons of money to begin with. On the other hand, no one wants to be a mathematician in the US - the math department at our school did not have enough majors to unload all of their scholarships. I'm dead serious. The chemistry department also had cash to throw at students. A large pharmaceutical department heavily recruited from our school, and they were generous with the scholarship dough.

(This is a super-duper pro-level tip, so proceed with caution.):

In some cases, if you have a strong interest in science or math, but you want to study Sociology or whatever, you might consider double-majoring to snag some money (and make yourself more interesting to grad schools). I was set to receive some money from my school's math department, but non-majors were ineligible for the money.

Obviously don't try to study something you hate just because it may possibly earn you some scholarships. However, if the skill and interest is there, you may be able to get one department to fund your studies in another.

3.) Spend some time scouting around for scholarships, essay contests, funded research opportunities. You'll not only make money, you'll gain valuable experience for your CV.

If you have good rapport with a professor, ask about scholarships in the department. Have a great paper you wrote for a class? With a little reworking, it may be suitable for an essay contest.

4.) Don't be terrified of student loans. Obviously, some majors don't cleanly translate into high paying jobs (sorry, art students!). If it's going to be very hard to find work after college, spend some time thinking about going to a cheaper school, living at home to reduce costs, etc. Be realistic, but remember that many people take out loans for school and then repay them when they're done. You won't be the first person to do so.

5.) Consider work-study opportunities. I had a friend who worked in her dorm to pay for (some of) her tuition and housing. It wasn't a great job, but it put a bigger dent in her school costs than a comparable job outside of the university would have.

6.) Working while in college is a tricky business. If you have to work long hours to pay for your school, consider taking a lighter course load and spending more years in school. My (then-girlfriend) wife had to work to pay for school. At some point, she was working so much that it started to impact her studies. she wisely decided to up her loans and cut back her hours.

If you want to earn scholarships and land a good job to repay your loans, you need to do as well as you possibly can in school. If your job is going to prevent that, you'll need to reduce your course load. Again, if you're young, you should not be in a huge rush. If you need to work a lot to pay for school, you may need to take six years to finish college, doing the kind of work you're capable of doing. Well, so be it. It'll pay off, much moreso than killing yourself and doing half-ass work to finish faster.

- Also consider working full-time for a year before going to school. Bank some monet up front so you don't have to work as many hours in school.

7.) Sell your body. Research studies are always looking for college students to participate. Don't overdo it on the medical studies - there's a fairly direct relationship between the pain/time involved and the money. The more lucrative studies may not prove worth it in the long run (I had a friend who almost needed major surgery after one study).

The psychology department often offers some fun ways to make money. I remember one study that involved smoking pot, another involving drinking beer (both paid about 40 bucks for an hour's "work"; sadly, I wasn't eligible for either). One study involved gambling for actual money while they recorded as EEG. Anyway, psych studies seem a little milder (but less lucrative) than most medical studies.

8.) Textbooks can be very expensive, especially in the sciences. Find out if an older edition will be okay, share books with friends, use the library, etc.

9.) Save on meal costs by attending seminars that offer free lunch or dinner. I had med school classmates who went to a seminar every day, no matter what the topic, because they could get free food. Honestly, most seminar organizers seem glad just to have people show up.


I hope some of that helps.

Just wanted this to be quoted again because it can't be stressed enough how important this is. I was in no way ready for college and wasted four years in a major I didn't like. I got so depressed about it that I didn't even finish it and took a leave of absence to do some self-discovery.

I wasted so many opportunities, burned too many bridges and now have a large student loan on top of me as I'm continuing at a different school with a different major (one that I love and stimulates my mind). It's an extra baggage of stress I don't need and it only gets harder the longer I take to finish with a BA.

This very true (although most aren't really fun, just boring)

Walk around the psychology department and look for flyers. Do one or two experiments and offer to do more - at my school they put me on a email list and I got atleast an email a week

Most of the time it involved sitting infront of a computer screen and pressing buttons. I never had any wires or anything so don't be scared - they do get boring.

This is bullshit. Pure myth believed by those with a heavy confirmation bias, making conclusions based on one or several incidents.

It's like saying any two very proud and egotistical girls can't be close friends with each other because you know of two who's friendship didn't work. Or like saying that people die after drinking water... because you know of something who died after they had a glass of water.

(Maybe that last one is a more absurd inference, but made using similar logic).

With the proliferation of FHUTA on this message board, I decided to make a progression guide to reach the all coveted dirt road quickly, easily, and, most importantly, efficiently.

This mostly applies to brownhorns, but even the seasoned dirt track veterans are bound to pick up some useful tips.

1. After foreplay is had, make a point to start missionary. Once in missionary proceed to step 2 (if you "accidentally" put it in the wrong hole already, congratulations, you made it)
2. Decide which side of her face you like to look at more and lift the same side leg up and lay down next to her while keeping said leg slightly elevated in a comfortable position.
3. Lay down whichever leg you picked up in step two so her legs are together again (this will cause her to rotate slightly to a more FHUTA favorable position).
4. You and her are now laying on your sides.
5. You can either proceed to the second to last step or go in for the kill now. If you are still not feeling confident proceed to the next step.
6. From here, roll her on to her tummy.
7. Finally, as she is laying on her tummy, pull her where her hips crease back which will cause her to go into doggy style.
8. This step is crucial, possible failure here. Tactfully ask her if you can fuck her in her ass, or go with the, "Mind if I FHUTA?" She reponds with, "Do what to who?" Then just go in for the kill.
9. Profit

Other tips:

• Spray your cologne or whatever you use on your hair, as it retains smell for longer periods of time.
• Always have goals in life, and that includes daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, 3 month goals, 6 month goals, and year goals, and an ultimate goal. This keeps you focused in the short term while working towards a greater goal.
• Being genuine with women will expand your selection you have to choose from.

You do have to remember that this is GAF. There is a certain demographic that you're asking this question to, and most of this demographic consists of males who (yes, I'm stereotyping, but let's just assume that I'm right) play video games for entertainment, and have much less social interaction with the opposite sex than average people who don't play video games.

I too have a few female friends who I'm good friends with, but that's after the fact that at some point in the relationship, I had either made unsuccessful advances, or have thought about making advances, but knew better. And about friends who I'm really good with, but have no desire for relationship? sure thing! If she's ugly, or not my type.

- Wash your hands after going to the supermarket. Shopping cart handles are among the most germ-infested things you'll encounter in daily life.

This has been proven wrong. Or at least proven to be not as harmful as you think. The bacteria you get from a shopping cart handle is as much bacteria you can get from any other public place. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't wash your hands. It's always good practice to wash your hands anyway.

With the proliferation of FHUTA on this message board, I decided to make a progression guide to reach the all coveted dirt road quickly, easily, and, most importantly, efficiently.

So in other words, spoon, then doggie, then FHUTA. Is it really that good? Or is it just pr0n myth??

It's a nice change of pace.

You're right - despite the germs, shopping cart handles probably won't make you sick (the CDC agrees!). Still, the one key difference between shopping carts and, say, the armrests on the subway (another good source of bacteria) is that the shopping carts are more likely to have been exposed to raw meat - a great source of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. The potential for serious infections is certainly there.

If nothing else, people should take your advice and get into the habit of washing their hands. Doing so after a trip to the store is as good a time as any.

It's not THAT amazing, but it's fun.

If the girl is prepared (cleaned-out) and you don't do it too frequently, it makes for a nice change of pace.
Plus... it's pretty nice to be able to give anal and still finger a girl. It really gets her off which, in turn, gets you off.
