<p>What’s the worst habit to pick up in college? </p>
<p>I’d say staying up late. I hate that I’ve learned to run through an entire week on roughly fourteen hours of sleep. That’s not a good thing. On top of being mentally drained all the time these days, I’m starting to look grizzled.</p>
<p>Probably eating. Lots of girls who were hot in my HS gained lots of weight in college.</p>

<p>TITCR.</p>
<p>That, and holing myself up in my room 24/7.</p>
<p>WTH does TITCR mean?</p>
<p>“this is the credited response” [its an XOXO term]</p>
<p>Ooooh. Well, uh, thanks?</p>
<p>Smoking.</p>
<p>maybe it’s b/c I’m in medical school but getting by on less sleep is a virtue to me…</p>
<p>
yes. that didn’t occur to me immediately, but yes. maybe not 14 hours of sleep, but still around 20ish hours per week on some weeks. between having a social life, being a campus radio DJ, and engineering prereqs, sleep is the last thing on my list of things to do. i always regret it, but it’s just not an option most nights.</p>
<p>what i was going to say was drinking unholy amounts of caffeinated products (and subsequently being hooked once i get home). which turns out to be related to the lack of sleep anyways. while at home for summer, i’ll have a cup of coffee in the morning, a bottle of bottled coffee at work and/or a Red Bull, then come home and drink another cup of coffee…it’s a bunch of small doses, but still a lot of caffeine.</p>
<p>probably not being able to manage time wisely/effectively…and leaving things til’ the last absolute minute</p>
<p>Not ever eating/sleeping regularly</p>
<p>Also, drinking wayyy too much twice/three times a week, then doing the above for the other 4-5 nights</p>
<p>Spending ridiculous amounts of money of cafeteria food. Note: ridiculous can mean $3 chicken sandwiches from Chik-fil-A.</p>
<p>eating too much of the wrong foods.</p>
<p>i was always up late in high school, so being up late in college is no biggie to me. </p>
<p>but, i hate how much fat the dining hall food has and how early the dining closes. and i also hate how my school has no campus store, so if i want groceries, i have to go shopping at CVS. i usually end up eating pringles or some other fattening junk food around midnight because i know i’ll be up for another couple of hours and i haven’t eaten since 6.</p>
<p>I’d say smoking and bad time management.</p>
<p>Albeit, I smoked before I went to college (I quit almost 3 months ago though). I know a lot of friends of mine started smoking soon after starting school.</p>
<p>But time management is the bigger problem, I became over-involved my first semester and had to cut back and focus on the things that I really cared about like school, my fraternity, and the college Democrats.</p>
<p>I know I’m going to have to focus on that a little more this coming semester since my Poly Sci classes are going to be far more intense and I’m an officer on the Inter-Fraternity Council.</p>
<p>Overall, just make sure you don’t over-extend yourself and your time.</p>
<p>smoking and drinking too much. I don’t smoke but I know a TON of people who started after they came to college. And drinking too much definitely is a problem for me. (although not recently)</p>
<p>“having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs” - austin powers</p>
<p>hey, mind expanding drugs in moderation have definitely helped me take in the experience more</p>
<p>probably the habit i wish i didn’t pick up was more of losing a habit: not exercising as much. i hope to remedy that through a PE class, living farther from and therefore walking more to campus. and lots of sex.</p>
<p>World of Warcraft</p>
<p>I’d say World of Warcraft and procrastination…</p>
<p>For sure poor time management. You stay up late doing stupid s*** nightly, and the night before your bio midterm you’re cramming 150 pages of Campbell…</p>
