Semenaisse,

When I was a student I kept my books beside my bed on the floor. Got hammered one night, went to bed, felt sick and ended up being sick on all of my books on the floor. Probably about £500 worth of books which is a lot when you’re a broke ass student.

alokir,

Before buying your fitst home:

  • bring someone with more experience than you to have a look at it, maybe even a professional
  • scout out the area (on foot) during the day, evening and night
  • visit local businesses like cafés, restaurants, bakeries etc.
  • look at statistics like crime and air quality
  • have a talk with the neighbors, get a sense of the community if you can, otherwise just observe while taking walks
  • if applicable, call the home owner’s representative (or whatever the equivalent is where you live), ask them about the home, neighborhood, community, expenses, plans for the future etc.
  • have a set budget of how much you want to spend on it before you move in, don’t overstep that amount
Borkingheck,

Don’t email a solicitor to confirm I’ve made payment. Apparently it costs me 36 quid for them to read my email confirming payment.

Don’t screw around with stock options on Robinhood. Also ideally don’t triple your first purchase overnight because then you’ve fooled yourself into thinking it wasn’t a fluke even when you know it was a fluke.

kaitco,

If you have a four-year scholarship, for God’s sake, make sure you graduate in four years!

“Gaming chairs” are a fucking scam. They’ll either fall apart after a few months of use, or cost their weight in gold. Buy an office chair instead.

alp,

I use a wooden chair from a dining room set probably, never got the hype over chairs. I’m not hard-core gaming but I’ve sat in it for maybe 8 hrs a day before doing school stuff and it never gets uncomfortable

was hanging out with friends getting some drinks, we decided to walk through our old campus.

there was a roof I always used to climb up while in college to chill on, so I did that.

after finished, while hopped up on liquid courage, I decided to jump down.

did so and shattered my heel.

spent the entire summer immobile and required a surgery that ended up costing me about $5k out of pocket.

have mostly recovered now, but it’s still not as good as the other foot, and I know it’s going to hurt like hell when i’m old.

don’t be like me, don’t do stupid shit while drunk.

Not to buy a game’s merchandise from the other side of the world (shipping price was around the same price if not more expensive than the product itself)
