Common Sense, some say is not so common, but it is something that God gives us all to separate us from weak-minded fools and animals. Below is a list of simple commonsensical things you can do to improve your life.

1.  FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK THEN PLAY!!!

If you have homework

due on Monday and it’s Friday, don’t waste time partying with your friend Mr. Procrastination all weekend and then wake up at 4:00 a.m. on Monday to sweat over your 500 word essay due in your 8:00 a.m. class.  

2.  DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE!!!

I have a friend who I won’t name. She texts while she drives and puts her phone down only when she stops at a stoplight. Somtimes, I wonder if she dropped out of pre-school.

3. Please don’t drink and drive.

(Better yet, don’t drink. period.)  I used to have an uncle who would drink as soon as he had to drive somewhere. Keyword: Used to.

4.  People, it is winter:

Stop wearing short sleeves shirts and shorts to school when it is 50 degrees or lower outside, then wonder why you’re sick the next morning.

5.  Ladies, leave your ex-boyfriend in the past!!!

If you have a boyfriend, PUH-LEASE stop mentioning how great your last boyfriend was when you two were together. He wouldn’t be your Ex if he were all that great.

6. THE HAIR IS HERS: SHE PAID FOR IT!!!

Guys, don’t ask a girl if she is wearing a weave or a wig. Ever since that movie “Good Hair” came out, a lot of guys are asking that same question and are disappearing lately.

7.  STAY ON THE SUBJECT!!!

Please, keep your mouth closed even though your professor says that there is no such thing as a stupid question. There really are studpid questions.

8.  DONT TOUCH!!!

If the sign says, “WET PAINT”, don’t touch it.

9.  IT’S NOT FINDERS KEEPERS!!

If you find a wallet, cell phone, iPod, or anything else that doesn’t belong to you, don’t think that it’s a blessing from God. It belongs to someone, and I’m pretty sure you’d cry six bucket loads of tears if you lost something too. The Lost and Found bin is in the Students’ Lounge at the College Activities office.

10.  GET SMART!!

Financial aid is money for school. Don’t blow it all at the Fashion Fair mall and complain when you have to buy a book for your class.
