1. Protect Yourself First
If you’re ever a victim of a crime at school, call the local police — not campus security. College “internal” reporting systems often prioritize protecting the school’s reputation over protecting you. The police, on the other hand, are there to protect you. Don’t let bureaucracy bury your story — take control and go straight to the source.

2. Meet Your Internet Dad
Don’t have a father figure around? There’s a YouTube channel called “Dad, How Do I?” that’s basically every dad lesson rolled into one wholesome place — from tying a tie to changing your oil. It’s like having a dad on demand, minus the awkward “I’m proud of you, son” moment (well, maybe).

3. Match Made in Fabric Heaven
Got a date getting their dress shortened? Ask the seamstress if there’s enough leftover fabric to make a tie. Matching your tie to their outfit is a classy, unexpected move that screams effort. Trust us — people notice the details, and this one’s a winner.

4. Is It Polarized or Not?
Wondering if your sunglasses are polarized? Open your phone screen, tilt it sideways — if it goes black around a 45° angle, congrats, they’re polarized! That simple little trick helps you confirm your shades actually protect your eyes (and not just make you look cooler than you already are).

5. Move Your Face And Make Friends
Want to be instantly more likable? Move your face more! Studies show people who are visually expressive are seen as warmer and more approachable. So don’t be afraid to smile, nod, and raise those eyebrows — your face is your best social tool.
