There is a time and place for everything. That place is college, but being a college student can be tough. Sure it's a lot of fun, almost any antic is tolerated, and for many it's the first time out of the house with no rules from Mom or Dad, but being able to make it through it takes some clever planning, perseverance, and a lot of luck.

One of the major aspects of college is the dorm room which is often cramped making futon sets, mini fridges, and microwaves more important than ever. One of the most useful pieces of furniture that any college student can own is a futon. It effectively turns a dorm into a place which can be comfortable slept in and enjoyed during the day. No one wants to sit at a desk all day, and watching shows almost necessitates a couch of some sort and we won't even mention how useful futon sets can be when a guest comes over. The mattress can be quickly detached and thrown onto a roof top or porch for summertime star watching and enjoyment, or ridden down a large flight of stairs for fun.

Don't forget that college is for learning and not just fun or to meet the opposite sex. One of the most important things to learn if you are going to survive in most colleges is how to party and still make it to class the next day. The key to survival in this situation is preparation. A good healthy meal before a long night of drinking can make the next morning tolerable even if the previous night has been completely erased from your own memory (and hopefully everyone else's mind too, you were that crazy). Taking vitamins everyday can go a long way in preventing hangovers, especially B-vitamins. Vitamin D will keep you healthy and virus free every day.

Learn how to cook a gourmet meal with typical college student staple ingredients such as beer, pasta, nuts, tuna, tequila, butter, hot sauce and half eaten tubs of ice cream. Another testament to getting wasted and going grocery shopping, but these can be combined into some interesting dishes that are sure to please the opposite sex. Throw some nuts and spice in a pan, add beer, sear it off and enjoy some toasty gourmet nuts. Pasta can be boring, but with some garlic and sauce it can be quite delicious. Tequila tossed ice cream anyone? Fancy names go a long way, but it still has to taste good.

One of the most useful devices found in college dorms, largely unknown but still rivaling futon sets in usability, is the rice cooker. It's not just for rice. Anything from pasta to meats and casseroles can be steamed inside and they have the added bonus of automatically turning off when fully cooked. Much better than your mommas crock pot, just remember to keep it clean, and take a shower every once in a while. This is college, but you don't have to stink.
