#3. Be Cultured

Americans and the British have a long-standing admiration for each other. Musicians from either side of the Atlantic have been inspiring each other for over a century. Demonstrate to your professors how cultured you are by changing the spell check setting on your word processor to the opposite country you are in before writing all your assignments.

#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!
