How to fit in at school?

So I graduated years ago with a chem degree and decided to go back to school for post bacc to boost that GPA. I'm a bit older than most the students and have trouble fitting in... I've got my skinny jeans and sneakers. I need a few more tips and help and hopefully people in situations similar to me will benefit!

Like what's the deal with the backpack? Do I double or single strap?

When I was a student I had a study group where we'd get the rhythm and beats to popular songs and replace the lyrics with course material... Would I be considered a square if I tried to make a study group where people are willing to make songs and record them on a CD or cassette?

Thanks in advance!

A+ post. Would read again. 👍

Also, single strap. Come on, bro.

Dr Kevin Ahern biochemistry professor has free lecture courses online, he takes regular songs and replaces the lyrics with biochemistry. I sung them. Felt like a tool but helps material sink in. Good idea.

Get thick-rimmed glasses and ride a long board to your classes. Constantly wear your earphones even if you're not listening to music. Talk about how awesome Breaking Bad is with everyone you meet 🤣

Just like me minus the skateboard, the glasses and the earphones.

Lol. The Breaking Bad thing is so true. Everyone's got something to say about it.

10/10 would read about cassettes again.

Also, no one backpacks it anymore. You gotta man-purse it, man.

well of course you would have trouble fitting into skinny jeans, they give you no breathing space

Roller backpacks are all the rage!

Easiest way to make friends:

First, you need to wear fitted red pants, a black tank-top, pornstache, thick black-rimmed eyeglasses, and a pair of chuck taylors. Don't matter what backpack you use.

Get some smarties; pick out the white ones. Put them in a plastic baggie and label 'MOLLY'. After class hold up the bag and ask if anyone wants to party.

I'm rocking a ~15 year old LL Bean backpack with my initials on it from middle school.

This was my first thought
