Colleges and universities are education faculties where students can expand their knowledge, develop their careers and plan their years ahead.

Such a concept has been downgraded on the priority charts in the modern era. Nowadays, the more attractive purpose of attending college/university classes for majority of the students is none other than to win the popularity contest.

So here's an All-You-Need-To-Know guide with



Nowadays everyone is so fashion-conscious that if your wardrobe cycle lasts for less than a period of 14 days, you are labelled as "bo fashion sense la you".





So in order to beat the heat, you would want to be outstanding in the crowd. wear a cool t-shirt with happening captions that would attract humor and attention. This is a great way to start a conversation.

Or maybe you could just carry a striking coloured bag to college everyday to flaunt your taste in fashion accessories.

For the girls... Just wear something skimpy.

It'll make the whole world remember you.

STEP 2: Put Your Wig On

The second thing everyone notices about you is your hairstyle (The first is your face, so maybe you might wanna make those pimples your priority). When getting a haircut, go to the barber or hairdresser's with a picture of the whackiest hairstyle from a social magazine, and say "boss, saya mau ini." Chances are that you'll have people talking about your new look 143% more frequently than the day before. This is a great way to tell people that you're not some squarepants in college just to read thick books.

Although so, you might want to be careful with that new hairstyle as it might seem to be what everyone calls a lala hairstyle. Apparently, this term is used for when a guy wears a pink collared t-shirt, colourful sneakers, an oversized neck chain and purely dyed hair, and when a girl wears high boots, an oversized tanktop over a tubetop and purely dyed hair.

Nope. doesn't qualify.




To round it up, just have a style where you can be versatile with, either being able to use gel or hairspray, or even let it down and still look presentable.

Try not to have the coconut hairstyle.

STEP 3: Picture Perfect

Since the digital camera may now be considered as one of his/her essentials in life, Try considering camwhoring as a past time. For the guys, this activity is just perfect for showing off your sporty side to the girls in a social event. It also brings out your photogenic character, which is just a heart-melter when it comes to "hey can i take a picture of you?"

STEP 4: Are You Interested in...

Many people usually have a variety of interests and hobbies, for example some have a liking to collecting stamps, while others like to pick up girls from clubs and discos. Therefore it is important to have a vast capacity of knowledge or interest in extra-curricular activities such as sports, hobbies, musical intruments and so on. This could be one of the crucial factors which determine your significance in the community. An illustration to this factor maybe as follows:




"Oh, I play basketball, floorball, football, badminton, foosball, ping pong and rugby, and I like to eat the MeeGorengDoubleDenganTelurMata at Nasi Kandar ss15, the CheeCheongFun at Golden Kimwah ss20, the CheeseNaan at Murni's ss2, and the FettuccineMarinara at SouledOut Hartamas, and I go rock climbing at camp5, Batu Caves, Lumut, Summit and Melbourne, and also running for 21km or 42km marathons once in awhile."

While you're at it, just throw in some extraordinary experiences.

And you are now halfway to being labelled "cool".

"Oh, and I have a beagle which can't stop humping my leg."



STEP 5: Participate and Organize

Everyone loves to be entertained by a performance or a gathering, be it a spontaneous act or a well-planned class trip. A crucial step to be popular in college is to participate in performances and organize events.




It could be the Dress Up The Guys Game, it could be Limbo Rock, anything that would give you a chance to show off your all-rounder capabilities.

I won lar okay. First placing.
But after that, my back... last placing.

For the basics, just practise your musical instruments, rehearse your dance steps and have a go on the stage for proms or graduation dinners. If you're good, then people will love you. If you suck, then people will hate you. Either way, you're almost there to being a popular college/university student.

STEP 6: Mix Wif Da Chix

In the world after high school, everyone's eyes are darting around for some eye candy. So the idea is to mix arond with the hot chicks in town and get to know them better. This way, you can get other people to notice how smooth and cool you are in such situations.

STEP 7: Come in Style

The way to go with getting yourself popped in people's heads all the time is to remind them about the cool gadgets that you have.

In order for people to go to you more, you must possess the most important gadget, the car.

This gadget comes in very handy when everyone wants to get a ride to eat lunch outside college together, where it's too far too walk and it's 50 degrees celcius out on the road. To spice up your cool gadgetry more, go to the mechanics and tell them to change your exhaust pipe into one which you can fit your leg in, and also put some extra plates of metal and plastic on the front, sides, behind and on the boot of your car. You may also want to add some blinking little lights around the car.

Besides that, walking arorund wearing the all-new discovered fashion icon, the mp3 player may improve your style. Preferably, you could purchase an iPod and hang it around your neck all the time with a lanyard. This will tell everyone that you're not just a study freak, but also very music literate.

But most important of all, you need to be studying in the coolest course as well. That would be your main identity in campus, don't you think?

STEP 8: Don't Be Too Technical

Don't you think people who talk about everything in such detail are just total turn-offs? You may think that knowing all the technicalities of certain topics would make you somewhat 'knowledgeable', but in fact, it makes you not seem like an all-rounder at all.

I find that when people know generally more about many things rather than specifically most about one thing, they tend to get farther in life. This is one of the ways to boost your communication skills when expressing your not-so-shy side.

STEP 9: Start a Trend

Influence is a powerful tool in the outside world. If you have the ability to manipulate people's thoughts into your favour, then you are to be considered as a very influential person. try starting a new trend in college like wearing little rubber wristbands or putting on your lanyarded thumbdrive even when you have an empty pocket that you can fit it in or even when you're eating.

One of the most bonding matters is having a special code of words or rather a lingo that you and your friends understand. For example, you can end all your sentences with a 'DOWH', making yourself sound more dopey and unintellectual.

Or you can even start a cool action sequence among your mates. For example, my good friend Ernest Khaw enters into a trance during rock concerts lifting his arm up with some special signage while gruntly saying

"YEAH!!! HUHH! OOOOHH!"






STEP 10: Maintain a Blog





And lastly, the easiest way to get people to know what your personality is like, just have a blog that people would visit frequently and talk about with their friends in college.


Now you are ready to meet the world and flaunt your popular personality until your satisfaction satisfies you. I wish you good luck and godspeed with your pursuit of popularity.
