People tend to make a lot of poor choices after consuming alcohol. And that’s before you factor in delicious drinks and fun games that aim to sneak alcohol into your system that much faster. By eliminating the following things, your college experience might have fewer headaches and exponentially improved rate of good decision-making.

Icing: This trend got so out of hand last summer that I heard countless stories of bosses icing their interns and entire bars running out of Smirnoff Ice.

1. Good Morning – Kanye West

This is the lead-off track on Kanye’s latest disc for a reason. It’s smooth, soulful and perfect for lounging in the sun during finals week.
