Be a part of the new Play the Game!

I am rewriting Play the Game! to more precisely focus on the more narrow group that it was actually originally intended for: graduating high school seniors to college freshmen. The revision will also focus primarily on college success and secondarily on how the same things work in real life outside and after college.

An important component of the new version is going to be real world advice from real world college students (yes, that includes people who went to college any time within the last 100 years). I am asking anyone who has ever been to college to pass on lessons learned.

What I am looking for is short concise pieces of advice. Things you wish you had known before you got to college. Things that shocked you about college. Things you did that you regreted. Things you learned that you think will benefit other college students.

The advice can be about anything and everything to do with college: classroom issues, relationships with other students, professors, jobs, studying, choosing classes, choosing majors, partying, drinking, test taking, time management, life, etc.

There is no limit to the amount of advice either. It's okay to come back every day for the next couple months if you want to. I envision several pages in the book looking something like this:

SpongeBob Squarepants
Don't hang out with people dumber than you. My best friend Patrick is no brain surgeon so he never challenged me to be any smarter than a rock. Hanging out with people smarter than yourself will motivate you to higher standards.

Thank you for your input. There's no money in it for you, but if I use your advice at least your name will be in the book and you can know that you'll be helping multitudes of future college students.
