It’s the day that students love and parents dread … not because they are going to miss you, but because they are sick of carrying all your crap! So here are a few tips to make things easier:

1.) Don’t go to Wal-mart. Ever seen monkeys at the zoo during feeding time? It’s kind of like that, so buy your stuff before you come.

2.) Upperclassmen, don’t make fun of the freshman too much. They may be short and clueless but remember you were one once too, and if you’re a desperate guy, you’ll probably be dating one by the end of the year.

3.) Go out your first night, even if you’re tired. The summer is over. Time to start getting your beer pong arm back in shape!

4.) Be nice to your parents! They are here helping move all your luggage. Besides, we know whose wallet you'll be reaching into later.
