YEAH!!!!!

Dude. For reals. You’ve got your hands on it.

Nice work.

480-384-9903 480-384-9903

My father’s father, Thelonius T. Ramminhammer first came up with the idea for The Handbook. Back in the days when guys wore tweed jackets to college, he was all like: “People need to know. Students need to know. They need to know where to get a good pair of knickers, where one can find the best tobacco for their studying pipes and when the steam locomotives leave for cities distant.”

His first Handbook, handwritten in 1923 and passed down through the brotherhood of friendship, became legendary. Over time, the book passed through the hands of many men and women, who imparted their knowledge for future generations.

The book grew thicker and thicker—recipes for hangover cures and magic tonics that instantly seduced professors so they would give you A’s filled its gilded pages—until it was falling apart at the seams. And then, sadly, most of that wisdom was lost following “The Great Rapunzel Incident of ’63”—look it up, it was epic.

In the years that followed, tens of thousands of students roamed around helpless, just like you. They called themselves hippies and later danced to a strange form of music called disco. It was disastrous.

Two lost decades—all because The Handbook was destroyed.

But 25 years ago, my dad, Arnold “Whatchutalkinbout Willis” Ramminhammer decided enough was enough; and he set forth to compile The Handbook yet again. He started small—some info on where to get textbooks and how to perfectly rock the “short-short with pulled-up tube sock” look.

The rest of it grew from there, organically. That’s what she said.

Respect it. Learn from it.

Grow from it. Use it.

What I wish I knew as a freshman I f you’re a freshman, odds are you’ve already heard a lot about the “college experience.” And yeah, all of those parties, opportunities and new friends are great, but the learning curve on life in college will quickly harsh your good time.

We’ve compiled a list of things we wish we knew as frosh. Heed this advice and Godspeed, newbie.

People are going to tell you to network. Don’t blow it off.

Yeah, networking totally sounds like a nonsense business buzzword, but when advisors, professors and parents tell you to do it—freakin’ do it! In college you’ll meet countless people that will help you with your future career.

Trying to make connections postgraduation is an uphill battle.

Take advantage of your school’s opportunities to meet people in the industry and fellow students.

You’ll have more opportunities now than you ever will again.

If you got a bad grade, it’s your fault Professors don’t have it out for students. They won’t intentionally give you bad grades. If you got a bad mark, that doesn’t mean it’s time to head to office hours and beg them to reconsider.

It’s simply time to study more.

Accept it and buckle down.

Double check your DARS report The DARS report, available on Blackboard, tells you how many credits you’ve earned and how many you need to obtain your degree. If you drop or re-take a class, sometimes it still shows up as a credit. Before you know it, you’ll be three credits shy of a degree the last three weeks of your senior year.

Take a multivitamin and drink a ton of water when drinking alcohol Ohhhh how I wish I knew this one.

When you drink and eventually “break the seal,” you’re peeing out a ton of vitamins. The multivitamin will help replenish them.

Drinking will also make you dehydrated, but you’ll feel too good to care. Care anyway. Keep both of these in your system and hangovers will be infrequent.

Have fun, but take school seriously. You don’t want to be here for 10 years!

...or senior.

Haha ;)

Graduating early is easy with community college classes Clear up your fall and spring schedules by taking a couple courses during the summers. Why bother with biology in a hot 400 person hall when you can do it online for a fraction of the cost and time? Maricopa Community Colleges like Rio Salado make it easy to take courses online or on campus.

There’s nothing wrong with having a good time, BUT remember, you’re here to graduate.

SUN DE VIL ATH LETIC

S

Befriend the ambitious and weird kids Always befriend the kids who are oddly ambitious or a bit on the weird side. They see college as a stepping stone and usually go on to lead really interesting lives.

You’ll learn more outside the classroom Living on your own presents many challenges. Learning how to pay bills and grocery shop is one thing, but keeping yourself healthy and safe is another. View every situation as a valuable life lesson. Time to see what you are really made of.

Study abroad When you’re sitting behind a desk 40 hours a week, there’s nothing you’ll fantasize about more than being a freewheeling student in Europe. Programs from companies like Hart Travel Partners make it safe and easy.

Walk through buildings for AC Walking through campus in the hot months really sucks. To beat the heat, walk through buildings on the way to your cross campus classes. This way, you can enjoy AC most of the way.

Cruise rate myprofessor.com when choosing classes Good professors make all of the difference. Aside from the letter grade, a brilliant or truly original professor can impart knowledge that will stick with you for life.

Read the reviews and choose a teacher wisely.

Never pass up free food You will be broke and starving.

Despite your parents’ generous donations, you will somehow find yourself penniless. Learn to love pizza and hit up any and all school social events.

Music classes are tough You are scrolling the course catalog for a fun looking elective credit, you notice something cool.

You say: “History of Rock n’ Roll!

That could be cool!” Well, you’re wrong. Music electives require a ton of reading (unless you are well-versed in the world of cheating.) Don’t take them unless you actually want to put in the work.

You won’t keep all of your high school friends and long distance relationships It is time to move on to the next chapter in your life. Sure, you will probably keep in touch with a handful of your high school friends, but I guarantee you want hold on to all of them. Also, if you and your girlfriend/boyfriend are going to separate schools (not within driving distance), it might be best to call it quits. High school relationships rarely continue to work, even less when you don’t go to the same school.

It’s OK to change your major You should do what you love.

And if you decide ASU doesn’t have the major of your choice after all, other accredited nonprofit universities in the Valley like Ottawa University have in person and online degree programs that stray from the ASU degree lineup.

Some banks have you coupons that when bring sign up, and if you with a friend to sign up u you, they’ll pay yo to anywhere from $20 $50 for referring your friend.

Protect your pin #!!!

You can get rewards points at certain banks for spending certain amounts at certain stores. Some of these points can be put to use with iTunes, ebay and other popular stores. Beware, though, that sometimes the banks charge you fat fees to sign up for the reward system .

Cash Counts!

H

aving a place to put your money other than under your mattress like when you were 5 is a necessity. It’s something we all need to do because, despite your innate need to carry all your cash on you at all times like a real baller does, it’s better to leave some in the bank.

• Do your research.

Find out which bank is going to suit your needs. Many banks have their own websites where you can compare fees, minimum amounts that need to be in the account and even what your debit card will look like.

• Sit down with someone.

Don’t just rush into the bank and open up an account and be out of there in 20 minutes. Take some time and talk with someone about your financial history who knows a bit about money.

Flat out, if you have to pay fees to put your money somewhere or to actually acquire your debit card, it’s probably not the place for you.

• Be aware of your overdraft fees.

Banks must ask new customers whether they want overdraft protection, which allows them to charge fees to cover your debut card purchase if you spend more than is in your account. Consider whether you really need the coverage. Is the saved embarassment really worth the extra cost?

nking You can set up your ba sfer tran online where you can unt to money from one acco lances another, check your ba credit real time and pay your card bill .

• Do you really need that credit card?

New laws have made it tougher for those under 21 to get a credit card, but it’s still not impossible.

While credit cards can help build credit, they can also leave you swimming in debt that takes years to pay off. When deciding whether or not to get a credit card, be honest with yourself: Are you good at managing money? If you like to spend, stay away for now.

• Protect yourself.

Identity theft is a huge problem in Arizona. Shred bank and utility statements and keep your personal and account information in a secure place at all times.

Someone who gets your personal information can take out an account in your name, get utilities and credit cards and destroy your credit, making it difficult for you to buy things or get credit in the future. anks

Powering Up S

o you’re going to be on your own. You probably have the idea that you can sleep when you want, clean when you want, drink when you want—and you can! But the greatest shock when it comes to moving into an apartment is that those simple luxuries that often go overlooked actually cost money. Cool air, lights, water, garbage collection, cable and internet may all seem like basic human rights, but it takes some effort to actually get them.

HOW TO MAKE SURE UTILITIES KEEP GOING • Live within your means.

Be sure to make a wise choice when it comes to how you’ll use your utilities. Depending on your income, you might want to forego cable and internet all together.

• Pay those bills.

It seems simple, but a few days of delinquent payment can land you in a sweltering hot apartment without water and entertainment.

HOW TO SET UP UTILITIES • Check with your apartment complex or landlord to see what utilities they cover.

Most will cover the cost of water and garbage collection. With the slowly growing economic environment, some complexes might even cover electric and cable to entice new and continuing renters.

• Call the utility company to get things set up.

Electric companies may ask the square footage of your home to make sure you’re getting the best deal. If you haven’t established a decent credit record yet, you might have to pay a refundable deposit to get things started, which should be returned within a few months or one year of on-time payments.

Electric in the Valley is generally provided by SRP or APS; cable, internet and telephone services are offered by Century Link (which offers TV through Direct TV) and Cox Communications.

10

• Set up automatic online bill

pay.

If you’re positive that you’ll have enough dough in your checking account to make the bills each month, automatic bill pay could be the easiest option to making sure you get your bills paid on time. The amount will automatically be withdrawn from your account each month, taking the hassle out of writing a check or logging on to pay.

The Handbook ‘15 - Tips, Tricks and Secrets for College Students

• Use the bare minimum.

To save a little moola, turn off the lights, television and any other electric-using equipment whenever you leave the room.

Also be aware that power companies, under certain plans, charge less for electric during different times of the day. Power is generally cheaper after 9 p.m. and on weekends. This way you can save money from going down the drain and use it toward the little luxuries.

Gettin’ Around Not like a playa’, yo; like from point A to point B

G

etting from point A to point B is always a necessity. Whether it be by car, bus, bike, light rail or your feet, you need to know how to get around.

Whenever you’re traveling in Arizona, carry water! You dehydrate fast here.

Always have water!

Always! is g n i ik h c t i n!!!

H u f ys a w l a Take free Orbit shuttles to get around Tempe!

12

Car: While it may seem intuitive to get to campus by driving yourself, finding a parking spot can be challenging. You will likely need to buy a parking pass (which, at ASU, costs usually anywhere from $200 to $800) to one of the oncampus parking garages or lots.

If you make friends with someone who is in your classes and who is planning to drive to school, you could always carpool with him/her. This means splitting the cost of parking passes and gas, and you make a new friend.

Yay! If you decide that it’s not in the cards for you to part with $800 so easily, there are other options.

Bus: They run every 30 minutes and are generally not packed.

They go to nearly every Valley college. Sometimes, you will find yourself standing, packed in like a can of sardines, and other times there will be plenty of seats open.

Monthly and yearly passes are available through Valley Metro and ASU. Also, in Tempe, be sure to check out the free Orbit shuttles which circulate through the

Light rail : Light rail is $2 a ride, or $4 round trip. You really can’t beat it. Plus, these come very frequently (or at least they’re supposed to) and they have a very polite robotic lady come over the loud speaker every so often to inform riders of how long their remaining wait will be. If you need to get downtown everyday, a semester Light Rail “U-Pass” can be bought for $200.

Bike: In Tempe, most of the roads are accommodating to cyclists. In the other cities, it’s hit and miss. Wear a helmet, man.

People are crazy around here.

Walk: Good ol’ fashioned walking, can’t beat it. But, if you do, indeed, walk in the middle of summer, make sure to have water on you and be covered in sunscreen. The sun here is strong and unrelenting, so while you may want to get a tan, your skin will most likely go from plump and smooth, to leathery and sunburned without it.

While the Tempe parking meters might call you name out seductively, keep in mind they’re onl r y good for up two hours. If time runs out, though, don worry, you can refill them by phone. Get the ’t at paybyphone.com or pay by dialing the num app ber on your meter!

If a professor asks you to get a “blue book,” they mean a blue composition book used for tests that you can get at any bookstore around campus. You’ll pay a few cents for them at the ASU Bookstore, but some bookstores give them away for free.

If you have the option, always buy used books.

They’re much cheaper and most of the time they barely look used at all.

Buying Textbooks I n high school, textbooks come free. Soon enough, you’ll be looking fondly toward the past as you’re looking straight ahead at a $150 book you don’t actually want to buy.

But you don’t always have to go straight to the campus book store. That price tag is not the end of the world. Here are your options when buying textbooks.

• Campus Bookstores.

Located on each campus, the ASU bookstore—and the Maricopa Community Colleges bookstores —keep nearly all of the textbooks necessary for classes at that particular location. Prices aren’t exactly the horror scene that most rumors say it will be, but prices can easily get into the $100 plus range for new books.

• Off campus bookstores.

Just off campus on Rural Road, The College Store rivals the ASU bookstore. The same goes for Student Book Center, tucked away on College Avenue and University Drive.

The Handbook ‘15 - Tips, Tricks and Secrets for College Students

• Bargain websites.

There are thousands of college students around the country taking a similar class to yours at any given time. When they’re done with their books and can’t sell them back to the bookstore, often they’ll throw them on an auction site like eBay or a half-priced bargain bin like Half.com.

• Rent your books.

There are plenty of places that will rent you a book for up to 85 percent off what you’d pay for it in a bookstore. Check chegg.com and campusbookrentals.com or your favorite student bookstore.

Rental book companies often offer new customer deals, too.

• eBook it.

If you have a Kindle or iPad reading device, many textbooks are now being offered digitally from Amazon or iTunes.

NEED Friends ch TO wat hers’ t o h c a e backs!

Pepper spray is a good thing to carry with you, especially if you have night classes or are walking home from shool or work alone.

The Safety Dance Watchin’ your back, at the dorms and at home

I

t might seem like your parents were a broken record, because every time you went out while still living at home, they yelled after you “… and be careful!”

Did you ever think that they may be right? Maybe you should be careful?

Here’s what we know: Being careful doesn’t mean being the creepy kid in the back of the room wearing a belt full of sprays, gels and contraptions to keep himself protected from the world around him, but it does means using logic and common sense when making decisions. And, please be aware that this is not meant to scare you or make you worried, but most of Arizona’s college campuses are public, and this means that anyone can be on or near them at any time, legally.

Some advice:

Always know who is around you.

This goes for on campus, at homes and when you’re out. If you know who’s around you, you know who you can turn to for help, and who you should steer clear from, like that creepy kid in the back of the room wearing a belt full of sprays, gels and contraptions.

Charge your cell phone every night.

It might sound like a pain in the ass to remember to plug in your phone every night, but it will pay off when you need it.

This is pepper spray

This is NOT pepper spray

Deciding whether to play intramural sports or joining clubs and groups on your campus

If you choose to be a part of a sorority or fraternity, this is a big time commitment.

They also meet more frequently than do many clubs/sports.

Make sure to keep tabs on what they’re doing, so you can be part of the action.

S

o it’s your first semester in college, and other than adjusting to the workload and the different structure of school work, you’re also trying to make friends. A sure-fire way to meet people is in your classes. Turn and introduce yourself to the person to your left and right, in front and behind you. Four new friends. On a larger scale, joining a club or playing an intramural sport can likely get you more friends in a quicker amount of time.

And this time, they’re more likely to be good friends because you already have something in common by way of the club you belong to or the sport you play.

Is it for you?

For both sports and clubs, go to your school’s website and search for your sport or club of interest.

Make sure that you want to be a part of this organization. Also,

note if you need to pay a fee or shell out any money, because that may be a determining factor as to if you join or not. Keep your schedule in mind to. The last thing you want is to overbook yourself.

How do you sign up?

On the activity’s website, there should be a place that indicates the location to speak with someone in person, how to sign up online, call someone or email someone. Keep in mind that the people in charge are used to getting asked questions, so no question is dumb. Ask away.

When do you start?

Once you’re signed up, you’ll be put on an email list or be given a meeting schedule, and the rest is cake. Go make friends. Play sports. Club it up.

Doin’ Good

Succeeding in class and studying

S

tudying is a necessary evil, especially in the first two years of college. Why? If you don’t establish somewhat solid study habits within the first two years of college, you probably won’t make it to the last two years. The whole point of college —other than attending wicked parties—is to become proficient enough in a subject in which you hope to use toward a career. To succeed in college, in part, is to pass your classes. And to pass your classes, in part, is to study well enough to be able to pass exams.

Be kind to your brain Eat something hearty and don’t be hopped up on caffeine pills as you go into study something. This can only make for bad news in a couple of hours when you crash from over-exhaustion.

Establish a relationship with the teacher Not that kind of relationship. But, make sure the professor or teacher’s assistant knows your face and name, even within a 400-person class. Ask questions and be engaged in the class. But don’t impede on the lecture by asking too many questions.

Some things we’ve learned: Studying ≠ Cramming We’ve all done it, and magically it’s worked for us at least once, but cramming is not the way to go. If you take the material in smaller chunks—like a couple of pages of notes—and study more frequently—like every other day —success on the test, and in the class, is more likely.

Befriend a classmate Get someone’s phone number or email whom you trust to take sufficient notes in case you miss a class. There’s nothing that sucks more than missing class, not having the notes and then being tested on material you don’t even know.

Do the reading Okay, maybe this one isn’t for every class. But for some, reading is crucial to passing the class.

Sometimes, the teachers pull broad topics from the book to teach more conceptual information, while the details are left in the reading. Some teachers are cool and will be forthright in telling you if the book is even worth its $80 price tag, but most of time, you won’t get so lucky.

Decorating Dorms and Apartments

L

iving in close quarters with a virtual stranger in your new dorm or apartment will likely lend to some awkwardness. Even if your weirdo roommate has a weekly ritual of doing yoga with her dog, the easiest thing you could do to make the situation comfortable is to make yourself comfortable.

Making the space your own (even if it’s only one side of a 14 by 14 foot room) can help you escape the everyday pressure of college. But you have to know where to look and what to buy.

You’ll Need: Bed coverings Storage containers Clothes hangers Optional: Live plants Curtains Door-sized posters Photo collages Colorful rugs White board Bulletin board Fish bowl (with an actual fish in it) Bean bags Christmas lights and other mountable lights Your original artwork

Bed time Through college, your bed will serve as more than just your snuggly sleepy-time destination. It will also be a couch, a kitchen table and a study space. Make sure you’re happy with your asthetic decisions. There are plenty of options around campus to get unique, versatile and practical bedding to fit your personality.

• Modern.

Get a European look with slick pieces from Copenhagen/ Denmarket in Phoenix and Tempe.

This is stuff you’ll keep after graduation. 1710 E. Camelback, Phoenix. 602.266.8060; 2346 E. Southern Avenue, Tempe, 480.838.3080

STYLES • Urban.

Urban Outfitters is a college staple. While prices can get steep, check the clearance section for sweet deals. The clearance bedding at Urban isn’t just the ugly, outdated stuff. Oftentimes they’re just making room for new stock.

Their look can be described as unique, eclectic and slightly hippie. 545 S. Mill Avenue, Tempe.

• Simple chic.

Head down the I-10 to IKEA, which is known for making things that are simple, functional and inexpensive. You can find twin duvet cover sets in feminine and masculine styles for as low at $19.99, as well as other necessities you’ll need on the cheap. 2110 W. IKEA Way, Tempe. Target, with locations across the Valley, also makes another smart option.

Buy a was hable bed sp duvet cov er. RAME read or N STAINS !

Cover up those Ugly 20-times-painted walls.

Since you can’t paint or wallpaper them, posters, T-shirts, fabric, postcards or really anything else can be pinned to a wall as a proper wall covering.

More Decorating Tips

Hide your dirty clothes!

Think practically

Y

our space will be cramped.

That’s a given. Make the most of it by limiting your dorm room shopping list to things you really need. Practical doesn’t always mean ugly, though.

• Storage cubes.

Simple, plastic storage cubes and shelves are a good way to hide the small things you don’t want strewn around your room. They’re inexpensive and available at major retailers like Target and Wal-Mart.

• Shoe hangers.

Girls (and some guys too) have billions of shoes. Believe it or not, you’ll be sharing a closet with another person when living in a dorm—a small one. Make sure you won’t invade your roommate’s half by buying shoe hangers—compartmentalized fabric slots on a hanger. They’re easy to hide in a corner and save a lot of space.

• Skip the extra furniture.

Even if you’re living in an apartment, odds are, that yard sale arm chair you bought likely won’t fit.

Lookin’ Good Getting Dressed, for cheap, like. . .

T

here is no need to rack up tons of credit card debt while you’re in college, especially when it comes to fashion. There are plenty of easy ways to keep your style fresh without breaking the bank.

• Always check the sale racks at stores, but don’t buy something just because it’s cheap.

You never know what gems you might find on the sale racks. It’s great for separate pieces, but at the same time it might tempt us to buy things just because they’re cheap, which brings use to the next rule.

• Only buy something if you love it.

If you buy things just to buy them, it will only waste money and space in your closet. It’s okay to splurge once in a while if it’s on something you absolutely love, because you’ll probably use it a lot.

• Shop unusual stores for unique pieces.

You can find fashion anywhere, so look. If you’ve never ventured beyond the mall, we recommend checking out alternative fashion spots like thrift stores, outlet stores and garage sales, or, if your budget allows for it, boutiques like Divaz in Tempe. You can even buy clothes from Walgreens and jewelry from the dollar store. Just be open-minded.

• Sell old clothes.

There are so many great resale shops here in the Valley; you should take advantage of them and never throw away old items.

Shops like Sunset Clothing Exchange, Buffalo Exchange and Plato’s Closet buy used items including shoes, clothes and accessories. You can either get cash for your unwanted duds or trade them in for store credit to get something new to you that you love. The best part is these stores will donate what they don’t buy from you. So you’ll be helping others and reducing waste.

The Arc of Tempe

• Trade.

This one might sound a little weird at first, but once you and your friends try it, you’ll love it.

Each month, some people go through their closets and gather all the things they just don’t wear anymore, whether it’s accessories or shoes. Then they get together with friends and trade it. It’s a great way to get rid of unwanted items and score some new stuff for free.

• Check Craigslist Look online for jobs, but be careful. Sometimes, Craigslist ads can be scams. There are local offices looking for receptionists and file clerks. You might also be able to find something you can do right from your dorm room like web design and freelance writing.

FINDING A JOB Depending on how many credits you’re taking, you may be able to fit a part-time job into your schedule. Even if it’s just a few hours a week, that extra spending money can really help. Here are a few places to look for a job: • Just off campus.

There are local companies looking to hire young, energetic, responsible and intelligent college students. If you have a car, you’ll be able to go off campus. The farther you go, the more likely you are to find a job. Coffee shops, retail stores and restaurants all look for back-to-school help.

• On-campus work ASU is practically run by student workers. If you walk through the Memorial Union, you’ll notice that just about anyone who works there is a fellow student. Check with the Student Resources Center, Memorial Union, Bookstore or pretty much anywhere else on campus to snag that job.

Dirty Laundry How to make it clean

HOW TO DO YOUR LAUNDRY Now that you are out on your own it would be a good idea to know how to begin to do your laundry. Follow these easy steps.

1. Separate your dark colored clothes from the light colors.

You might even want to make a unique pile for all-white clothes.

2. Put each pile into a separate machine.

3. In each machine, put the amount of detergent as directed by the label in the machine.

7. Add a few dryer sheets inside the machine to remove static and soften clothes.

4. On the washer, select the temperature at which you want to wash your clothes. Cold water is best for colored clothes.

Warm water is best for whites.

8. Select the temperature at which you want to dry your clothes. Hot temperatures will make clothes shrink a bit, so be careful.

5. Start the machine.

9. When the dryer is done, take out your laundry and fold.

6. When the washer is done with its cycle, put each load into a dryer. You don’t have to separate colors for this part.

Make sure to keep an eye on your laundry.

You’d be surprised what people will steal when you’re not looking. Ew. 28

If you get any new red clothes, make sure to wash that item separately the first time. Otherwise, you’ll turn your laundry into various shades of pink.

Living Healthy C

ollege is a time where you make some decisions that will stay with you for life. One of those s a w decisions concerns n ee hman fift es fr y your lifestyle. It’s no m , e d Du hman 25! es fr secret that excese th e k li more sive smoking, drinking and eating are bad for you, so this section won’t be about that. It will be about making some changes, though. Listen up—nobody’s telling you to live the perfect life—but consider dropping that soda and putting out that cigarette.

Find a friend: Ask your roommate or someone on your floor or in your complex if they want to start eating healthy with you. It’s always better when there’s a support system in place, especially when you’re making a lifestyle change.

Start simple: Decide on a couple of things that you’re going to reduce eating or drinking and stick to it. If it’s coffee you’re cutting, make sure you have caffeinated iced tea or ginseng pills on hand to keep you awake. If you’re decreasing your sugar intake, you can simply switch to a reduced sugar version of the original you’ve come to know and love.

Don’t go overboard: Time and time again you will see both guys and girls around campus looking too thin, or too fit.

Please don’t take eating healthy to an extreme or stop eating altogether. Sure, it might give you the desired body you want now, but it will be a struggle for the rest of your life to come back from it.

L! BE CAREFU

Don’t be tempted: Finish eating or give away any food that is going to make you tempted to start eating unhealthy again. Be careful, though: Some of those low-fat, reduced-sugar or low-sodium foods, while they appear to be healthier, are just packed with more fillers. Go for a natural or organic option if you want a treat but still want to maintain some margin of healthfulness.

30

The Handbook ‘15 - Tips, Tricks and Secrets for College Students

Be aware of the fast food trap: Okay, so you’ve committed yourself to eating healthy and you’ve been going strong for some time.

When someone proposes going to a fast food joint to eat, don’t let it be an obstacle. There are options. Salads, wraps and sandwiches are always better options than the classic burger and fries.

Eating @ Home!

Stocking your apartment or dorm with food

A

ctually getting yourself up off the couch to go grocery shopping is a feat in and of itself, but once you’re up, you need to go. Despite what some of the upperclassmen have told you, no, you cannot live off of ketchup packets from McDonald’s and Monster energy drinks for four years.

Where to shop: The Valley has numerous grocery stores. They include: Fry’s Food and Drug, Safeway, Bashas’, Albertsons, Food City, Fresh and Easy, Smart and Final and Wal-Mart. Check their websites for locations nearest you.

Start with the basics: Bread, milk, cheese, peanut butter, cereal, deli meat, fruits, butter, vegetables, frozen pizzas and other dinner items, some microwavable food options and juice. This will get you going, especially for those of you in a dorm where you probably don’t have access to a stove or hot plate.

If you do have a more expanded living space equipped with a kitchen, you can buy more things like more meat (ground beef, chicken, hot dogs, etc.) eggs and pasta.

Next, if you’re interested in doing some specialty dishes like tacos or stir fry for example, stock up on the necessities: Salsa, cheese, meat (or meat substitute for those veg-heads out there), sour cream and chiles. Noodles, vegetables, meat, various spices and sauces for stir fry.

Also, don’t forget to buy toiletries and household supplies like toilet paper, soap, shampoo and conditioner, cleaners, plastic bags, Tupperware, etc.

Party Time!

Livin’, lovin’ and all that nonsense

I

f you ask Hollywood, college is all about the party.

The movies show attractive people getting boozy and having the time of their lives. While those portrayals might be slightly exaggerated, the base of what’s going on in those films is completely factual. Hot people? Check! Beer?

Check! Shenanigans? So check.

HOW TO THROW A PARTY (AND MAKE IT A GOOD ONE).

1. Make a guest list and set a date.

Make sure you invite personalities that get along and are respectful.

Ho use parties can easily get out of hand w ith uninvite d gues ts. as Let gues ts know, if yo u invite them, to they ’re allowed bring friend s.

2. Get the necessary goods.

We know you don’t need alcohol to have fun, but unless you’re throwing a party for you and your straight edge friends, alcohol is expected to be there. Get a keg.

Unless you’re under 21 … and then, you know, obey the law and stuff.

3. Decorate (if you’re into that sort of thing).

This isn’t necessary for nonthemed parties, though.

4. Security.

Make sure you have a big, intimidating friend on hand just in case the party gets out of hand.

5. Tunes.

No party would be complete without them. Skip the old Smiths records, because you’re going to want something bass-y.

The best decora tion at most parti es is a ping pong ta ble.

You’ll learn a bout this in time.

PARTY ETIQUETTE Odds are, your freshman year won’t have you throwing a ton of house parties. (Being that your house is the property of the State of Arizona. Awesome.)

Upperclassmen may invite you to their homes, though. If you’re under age, be warned, local police are very strict about underage drinking, so if you choose to, know there’s a fantastic chance you’re going to get caught. Also know, there’s a certain amount of respect that’s expected at any party.

• Offer up some cash.

Yeah, you’re probably strapped for cash. So is the person throwing the party. They’re offering you a good time out of the kindness of their heart, so offer to order the latenight pizza or just a few dollars to pay for your beer.

• Clean up after yourself.

It seems like a no-brainer, but after a party there are so many dead soldiers lying around that you could make a zombie army.

You don’t want to create that kind of danger.

• Ask other people if they want another drink.

Make someone a drink. It’s the easiest way to make a new friend.

Most beer that comes in a keg isn’t the highest quality.

Make sure to use your best judgment in choosing your beer. Depending on your friends’ tastes, Miller High Life might be a total faux pas.
