14. Create a graphic design portfolio.
Hey man,
You have been doing a lot of graphic design at Northwestern. So why don’t you put it all in one place? Like a portfolio?
Thank me later.
13. Keep extra clothes in the office.
You never know when you will pull that all-nighter. Or maybe you do know when you will pull that all-nighter! Either way, it is good to have extra clothes in your office so you can make that quick change before you head otuside again.
You see way too many people too often to be caught in the same clothes…
12. It sucks to be the starter, but someone has to...
Hey man,
Don’t you hate when people don’t speak up in discussion section? Yeah, me too. But you have been given the herculean task of BS-ing some comment just to get the convo started.
So what if it is stupid - because it usually is - the goal is to get other students to talk since they seem to be temporarily paralyzed after a question is asked.
You will be rewarded for your service...
11. NEVER give up on your fantasy football team.
Hey man,
You dissapointed me this weekend. Yes your team was down by 85 points Sunday afternoon. Yes your team was down by 62 points going into to Monday night. Yes your running backs combined for 10 points while your opponent racked up 48.
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE!
With a combination of Kurt Warner (300+ yards, 3TDs) Steve Breaston (7 rec, 121 yds, 138 return yds) and Arizona Defense (2 ints, 1...
10. Make rules for Barack Obama
Hey man,
I have had fun making rules for you, but other people need my help. Especially this one guy…
Don’t worry, I will make time for you too!
9. Check your "Future" Gmail label everyday
You never know what it might hold…
7. Don't break your rules!
Hey man,
You think just because I put these rules down that you will easily follow them? WRONG! That’s why I’m callin you out. Follow the rules!
6. Don't use the elevator to go up (or down) one...
Ok Mike, I know you don’t do this, but just advice to others, don’t use the elevator to go up or down one floor! WTF dude! Are you that lazy that you have to use the elevator, waste 30 seconds, when you could just went up one flight of stairs?!?
Now I understand if you have a lot in your hands (food, equipment, luggage, etc.) But way too often I am in the elevator going from the...

5. Avoid meetings/open-ended discussions between...
This is the story of your life man. You finally get done with classes and meetings all day, it’s 10pm, and you start talking with your ASG buddies. That’s fine man, but when you get done and it’s 1am, and you realize that you could have used that 3 hours to get stuff done, don’t look at me.
I understand that sometimes you can’t avoid it, but about John McCain %...
4. Call Your Mom Everyday. Call Your Dad Twice A...
Look, you gotta call your mom everyday, she worries about you. I know you are busy, but she is too idiot! Show her some love.
As for Dad, you know men, we don’t have to talk everyday. Twice a week is efficient enough to cover sports, Apple stuff, and how we are both broke.
Sincerely,
Your better half
3. Pay attention in class!
It is the reason you go to Northwestern.
2. Go to sleep by 3am. On weekdays.
You gotta hit the hay by 3am.
1. Never set meetings before 11am.
I don’t know why you thought you could make a meeting at 10am when you went to sleep at 5am? There is just way too much stuff do in the morning before you can make it to a meeting.
And just because you don’t have class in the mornings doesn’t mean you should replace them with meetings. Have some time to relax dude!
Sincerely,
Your better half
