Gitty Daneshvari, Author of The Makedown and School of Fear
I am not one for giving advice (mostly because I tend not to follow it no matter how sound) so instead I am sending you a list of three suggestions as you prepare to enter college.
1. Don’t eat your roommate’s food, even if they tell you it’s ok. Eventually this will really annoy them. Plus, this will lead to them eating your food, which will of course inevitably irritate you. Play it safe and keep separate pantries.
2. Don’t buy papers online. While I never did this, a roommate of mine did, and the results were wholeheartedly disappointing. She bought a paper by a person who was actually MORE intellectually challenged than she was and received a C-. There are also dire consequences both morally and educationally to doing this, but you already know that.
3. Don’t sign up for a credit card when you don’t have a job. There were always booths near my college bookstore each Fall where eager faced people tried to explain the importance of building credit at a young age. Trust me it can wait until you have a job.

Awesome suggestions! I don't have a roommate, so the first one won't be an issue at least. But then again with a floor that's supposed to be fairly social, I guess we'll see :)

So glad I don't have a roommate this year! And good advice on the third. I have this little checking account with a visa debit card, but no credit yet. My dad keeps on putting pressure on me to get a credit card "so I can buy a house and a car" no way, I'm only 17.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a roommate who used to eat my food and it was so annoying that I had to move!
