Prefrosh Survival Guide, Pt 1: Dos of Camp Yale

Prefrosh Survival Guide, Pt 1: Dos of Camp Yale
See this picture? It means you're ****ed, because you, like 99% of Yale, will inevitably spiral into alcoholism sometime freshman year.

Prefrosh, you have two days and Camp Yale begins. If you're still home and not on a pre-orientation trip, you might be the kind of kid who doesn't like people much and has spent the last four years sitting in your room reading Plato and watching Battlestar Galactica.

Have no fear....here are a few things you should do to maximize your Camp Yale experience.


DO

1. Go talk to that kinda cute guy/girl at mandatory freshman functions (your college dinners, froco meetings). You know they're also a freshman, and chances are, they're just as awkward as you are. You could be in their pants that night if you play it right; or if you really flub, they'll probably forget in a day. Nothing to lose!

2. On that note, break up with your high school sweetheart. Seriously, you're going to be missing out on so much ass once everyone checks your facebook profile and sees that you're in a relationship with some kid who isn't even in the Ivy League. It never works out anyway.

3. Remember that alcohol is the way to (almost) everyone's heart. The people you drink with  during Camp Yale may not be your BFF<3<3 for the rest of college, but it'll at least get the ball rolling in terms of meeting new people.

4. Get to know your freshman counselor. If at any point you are on the verge of death after drinking three 40s, they're most likely going to be the ones hauling your ass to DUH. You might as well be on good terms with them.

5. Go to the freshman bazaar and any events thrown by organizations. Check out anything you'll be interested in later immediately, if not only for the free food and booze.

6. Get to know your roommates. This seems like a given, but many people don't realize that starting off on the right foot with your roommates is one of the most important things you can do for yourself to ensure an enjoyable freshman year. It makes for some awkward moments when you're ****ed up on coke and acid and the rest of your roommates aren't cool with it.

Study these six tips and digest them. And, meanwhile, work on your pong shot.
