Pro-Tips for Freshmen: Getting an ID on the Down-Low
Getting into the swing of things at a new school can be hard, and with the 2017-2018 academic year already well underway many freshmen are seeking an edge in expanding and solidifying their circle of friends. There are many ways to do this: joining a student organization (such as this one, we’re taking writers), forming study groups, volunteering, et cetera. But these methods are often considered the “hard way” of making connections as they are done mostly without alcohol, a social lubricant known to provide many a shy freshman with a reliable in-road into almost any group. A first-semester student who can get their hands on booze of any brand or quality, however low, is instantly in the running to build up their very own “squad” of peers and acquaintances. To do this though, an ID is traditionally required, and by the end of this article, our readers will know how to get one.
