How not to make new friends at college

I know college is hard. Socially, I mean. Educationally, community college is the laughingstock of the advanced education world. I'm a wee bit older than the average CC student (ok, I'm old enough to be someone's mother), which means that I've lived a life beyond the classroom and have learned how to survive in the real world. I've picked up some coping mechanisms to deal with other Homo sapiens, so if you're a young gunner pre-med, let me pass some advice onto you.

You see, in the regular world, people are not impressed by youngsters coming in and bragging that they got somewhere quicker than everyone else. It's kind of annoying. It's showing us oldies that you are smarter, more apt, more able than we are, and that we are obsolete. And that them's fightin' words, regardless if you are 18 or 80. So if you are a high school student taking 2nd year science classes at CC with other folks plenty older than yourself, please do not introduce yourself to the class as, "I'm Smarty Pants, I'm still in high school, and once I finish this class series, I graduate high school and CC at the same time!"

You will not make one single friend, especially when everyone else simply introduced themselves as Tom, Dick, or Harry, including the other high school student in the same program you are. And college is hard enough without having people hate you for your poor social skills.
