The Rules:

These are the rules I posted on my sister in law's dorm room door when she started at american.edu back in 1997. I think these are superior to the rules that govern the book meme, so I post them here in order of importance, from most to least:

1: Do not get dead.

2: Do not get diseased.

3: Do not get pregnant.

For a new freshman college student, those rules are really all they need to know to not totally FUBAR their lives. Even 3 can be worked around, but it adds a huge burden that most will not overcome so it's best avoided.
