Every so often, Well Cultured gets an e-mail from a college student desperately needing help to survive college- or a highschooler worried about what to expect. While everyone has a little bit of rough time in college, often the big problems- the life-ending sort of mishaps that leave you with a .5 GPA and no job- can be avoided so long as you do the right stuff. With that being said, here are some of the worst things you can do in college- by some of us who have been there ourselves.While it certainly sounds prudish to say so, college is one of the last times you should be drinking. Not only do you often have to stay reasonably lucid to study, pay attention in class and take tests, but alcohol gets you fat, makes you sluggish, and worst of all, the alcohol you'll usually find on a college campus sucks. There's nothing wrong with drinking a little bit when of the legal age, but leave the beer chugging to the 1.5 GPA fratboys- drink the good stuff when you can afford it later in life.
