Don't be "That Guy"

So upon arrival of my wonderful campus I notice the flourishing diversity. Upon living here I've noticed the ever growing amount of male douche bags. Now don't get me wrong girls have plenty of issues too and I will get to that later but upon talking to many class mates and faculty over the last two weeks I've noticed a trend in what really just grinds peoples grits. I figured I might pass a little knowledge along to you guys so you don't end up being "That Guy"

 Okay so we all know who I'm talking about. The guys in high school that just have something against the world, no one can stand them, and they seem to be everywhere. Well I'm sorry to say that they're in college too. So here are some things to avoid doing so you don't become one of "Those Guys"

Tip 1: Don't wake up or irritate the room/suite mates
            You're in college, people expect you to be a college student. Guys are expected to sneak in and spend the night and other things. There is no problem here. It's expected. However just because you're expected to be a guy doesn't mean your expected to slam doors, come over at ungodly hours of the night or make insane amounts of noises inevitably pissing off the roomies. Also socks on the door are a nice gesture but if it's 10pm and the roomie is coming back from studying she/he is not going to want to sit in the hall till your done. So don't be a douche! Plan accordingly and take people into consideration other wise you and your one nighter or life longer are going to have more problems than rather or not you have pillows or condoms.

Tip 2: Be a Gentleman
           Girls (especially in the south) are usually raised expecting doors to be held, seats to be offered, and all the other lovely chivalrous things we rarely encounter now a days. I've been here two weeks and have only had a door held for me twice. It was the same guy in a time span of two seconds. This guys now stands higher on my list than previously. Hold doors and if your on campus transportation like our lovely Cat Tran and their are ladies standing offer them your seat.

Tip 3: DON'T HOG THE PARKING SPACES
           College campuses are notorious for sucky student parking. Basically our whole campus minus resident halls is faculty parking until 5pm. Some people will park their cars in our res. hall lot and not use it all week. These people will walk everywhere and never even use their car. I've spent 30 minutes looking for a spot. I've been here two weeks and their are cars in our lot that haven't moved since move in day. I'm surprised no one has keyed them yet...So don't be that guy. If you're not going to drive all week, or two weeks don't take spaces that people could actually use. If these people really needed to go somewhere they could walk their active butts down to freshmen over flow and use when they do actually drive somewhere. So don't park close to your res. hall if you don't plan on going somewhere off campus at least three times a week.

Tip 4: Help a Sister Out
             Some girls will say no but if you see a girl struggling with bags, or maybe a rude guy, or anything offer to help. Yes we can take care of ourselves but sometimes three bags is too much, or a rough boyfriend needs some straightening out. So don't walk by and let it happen. Even if she's not pretty, girls shouldn't have to pretty to get help.

Tip 5: PUT DOWN THE TOILET SEAT
           If you're over at a girls dorm, or suite don't use the toilet and leave the seat up. She lives with only girls and you coming in and leaving the seat up is bound to catch someone off guard and piss them off. Trust me you do not want a suite or hall full of girls mad at you. Just put the seat down.

Tip 6: Don't Be a Jerk
           For the most part girls don't enjoy being treated like pieces of ass. Whistling, hollering, shouting rude names is not something we look forward to. The terms sexy, foxy, damn baby, look at that ass, hey mama, oh shit baby, etc. are not something that should ever be considered an appropriate way to speak to or address a girl or woman. Respect should be your number one priority otherwise you'll be labeled for what you're being. A pig, A jerk, an Ass.


Well that's all for now. I'm sure as the semester continues I'll find more to add to the list for both males and females but for now take these into consideration. Thanks y'all till next time!
