A quick word of advice...

So...

If you end up in res, as you most certainly will, as Rhodes tries to make sure every first year starts of in Res, or if you're in res at the moment, there are a few things to remember, I guess this is mostly aimed at guys, though I'm sure some of the girls res's are just as vicious (cough cough.... Beit..... cough cough)...

Anyway, res life is really unique, it has an amazing way of making the most polar opposite of people the best friends in the world, your room, is your little bubble of safety, you can always go to it, put on some music, lock out the rest of the world and just chill, but you always know you can knock on the door of your neighbour and there is someone to talk to.... Well that's assuming he/she isn't a moody over sized cage fighter who hasn't had any action for a while (yes i know female cage fighters!)... But seriously, if you're lucky enough to land up with at least 1 decent person near you, res life can be something special!

Back to things to remember!

1: Don't piss off the moody over sized cage fighter he-woman
2: Pick a shower and stick to using the same one
3: Pick a toilet cubicle, you can never be too sure
4: Keep more then one towel in your room, towels always end up being thieved while you're showering and walking naked and wet to your room, can be traumatising, so keep a spare nearby
5: Get a cooler bag and a lock for the fridge, drunk people cant tell whose milk is whose at 3 in the morning
6: Shotgun rules apply to everything.
7: A shotgun call can be overruled by a "Hijack" call unless "anti-hijack" was called.
8: Which can in turn be overruled by a "Tracker" call unless "anti-tracker" was called.
9: Never, and I repeat, NEVER have a one night stand with anybody in the same dining hall!
10: Re-emphasizing the importance of point 9!
11: Top floor kicks ass
12: Now this is a really important one... Do not fall asleep in the common room! Here is evidence as to why you should not fall asleep in the common room, as my friend Thabo unfortunately found out the hard way...

13: This one would seem obvious, however, my friend Jet, just obviously was not thinking straight... Never, fall asleep in the common room, 3 minutes after you just watched the guy in front of you get creamed!!!

So there you go, keep these few things in mind, otherwise be prepared for absolute awesomeness!
