#2. Always Abbreviate.

Classes in which you are required to write essays, I’m sure you’ll go to a few, have a special kind of professor - the kind that appreciates an interesting and challenging read. Upon completing your essays, be sure to go over them and include a friendly dash of conjunctions, acronyms, abbreviations and even a word or two in a different language. Then you’ll look smart! Slang is also heartily encouraged, especially in highly academic or historical papers, as it shows you know a lot about society and fully understand the significance of your subject. The newer the slang the better!
