5. Put your phone away
Live in the moment. There is nothing cool about taking a bunch of photos. If you are taking that many 'grams, chances are the party was boring and thus won't make you look cool. Of course, the occasional instagram is more than welcome but the album per semester of all red cup photos should be avoided. Mostly, because you don't want that many photos of you in college at parties on the internet.
You: Red cups and handles make me look cool!
Your future employer: That explains her GPA...
