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.For some reason, some people who go to college determine it the prime time to spend as much cash as possible as quickly as possible- and yes, for those of you keeping score, this is a bad idea. While you should never limit yourself excessively in college (make sure you have everything you need- there's no point in suffering over something you can pay back when you have a job), but spending excessively on a fancy car, ridiculously expensive technology, new clothes, and everything else will leave you regretting it later. Lots of students graduate with significant amounts of non-school related credit card debt- don't be one of them.
