College is a time where everything goes - binge drinking is considered a pastime, not alcoholism-- and cheating is seen more as a carpe diem lifestyle than a violation of moral law. CNN has just released some tips on how to not get caught cheating, but OTR has some tips specifically designed for the college coed.

– Think different - To keep from mistaking one for the other, make sure the side project is very different from the main show. This includes looks, interests and especially NAMES. You don’t want to get caught whispering Kristen into Christine’s ear.

– Keep it phone-free –The easiest way to get caught cheating is the ever-betraying cell phone. Girlfriends see it as their constitutional right to check your phone so explain to your side project that you see text messaging as impersonal and never begin a text-relationship. Chances are, you will not remember to delete those steamy sex-texts.

– Rename! – If the side project must call, do not put her in your cell phone as a girl, give her a guy's name to throw the girlfriend off when she reviews your phone call log.

– Don’t fraternize – Just like fraternities, nothing can break the bonds of sisterhood. Don’t date a girl in the same sorority; gossip is more prevalent in sororities than pot at a Dave Matthews Band concert, so take it somewhere else.

– The farther, the better – Try to find a girl who lives in a faraway dorm. Visiting a girl in close proximity to you or your girlfriend only heightens the possibility of running into your girlfriend or having her catch you with your pants down, literally.

– A Day at a time – Girls spend hours putting on makeup and perfume so to risk having the evidence on you, never ever see the two girls in one day. A lip gloss stain on your collar is no way to greet your girlfriend.
 

So to all my fellow casanovas, Godspeed. It's a far reach but once you take a bite of that forbidden fruit, it's worth all the trouble.
