8 Unwritten Rules Every College Student Must Follow To Fit In




From the outside, college life can  eem scary. However will you fit in with  his cool, all-knowing crowd? How do you navigate the complex rules everyone  seems to already know? We're letting you in on these secret, unwritten rules that will help you skim through this  period in the most fun way. Of course, there's no compulsion to follow them or even fit in, but they'll help you navigate the first few days of college, at least till you've found your own space.

Since day one, every student or group has a certain bench or corner they sit in. If you go against this chart, you'll disrupt the ecosystem. And you won't make any friends in the process.

Also, choose your seat wisely

Usually, the seat that you choose on the first day is going to be yours for the rest of the year. So, you better think 10x before you pick one. After all, no one wants to be stuck on the first bench for the rest of the year/semester.

Do not buy textbooks for all subjects like an enthu cutlet


First, attend a few lectures and speak to your teachers and friends to see if it's even needed. If you don't wait, you might end up paying money for nothing. Plus, if you're nice to your seniors you can just get their old books.

No matter how hard it is, stay in your teacher's good books


You can be the biggest prankster, but don't show your teachers this side of you. You don't have to suck up to them, but even if you don't do the assignments, be the first one to respond the emails and messages from them. Also, participate in stuff they want you to.

Never (actually, don't you ever dare) remind professors about assignment submission


If they ask for the assignment, it's fine. But, if they forget, there is no way you are allowed to remind them. If you play teacher's pet, you're going to earn the hatred of the rest of the class.

Be a team player

Even if you don't like a few of them, never ditch your classmates on activities that they've planned for the entire class. You may not realise it now, but in the long term, you'll need them.

Make friends with canteen-wala uncle

Because you'll learn more about accounting from him than in actual lectures. Also, he'll save you the best food and that special chai when you need it.

Don't compare school life with college

So no saying: "But in school we did it this way..." Period.
