https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1oxqw7hboo&amp;feature=youtu.be For the incoming class of freshmen, senior Sarah Cannon has left her five tips on do's and don'ts for the first semester at Temple University.

### 1. Don't buy all the books:

 Many professors list books that you do not need at all, so wait until the professor specifically tells you to get that one book, instead of all of them. ### 2. Newbies: Stay out of basement parties:

 Use the buddy system, and if it seems sketchy, that means it is sketchy. Use common sense. ### 3. Eating on campus alone isn't weird:

 Eating by yourself on campus is fine! Everyone is on a busy schedule and eating by yourself is more common than you might think. ### 4. Get off social media:

 The people who are standing in front of you are more important then what you have in the palm of your hand! ### 5. Meet as many people as you can:

 College is all about making new friends, the people you meet now might be your friends for life.
