Words of Wisdom?

Last night I headed over to a career networking night sponsored by my alma mater. For much of the evening, I banded together with a fellow alumna who believes we were drawn to each other as "the only ones there dressed like artists." We made a decent networking team, though we both agreed that the entire night would have been a lot more fun if we set up a booth for me in the corner. It would be an attraction where people would come chat with me about their interests and I would divine their true professional calling. Sort of like a career networking fortune teller.

There were a handful of soon-to-graduate students making the rounds at the gathering. Towards the end of the night they asked me for some advice about the coming months. Obviously, I'm not the one to seek out for job seeking guidance, so I doled out a few tidbits of wisdom about life that might serve them well in the semi-immediate future. My advice was as follows:

1. I'm thinking that you've got about two days worth of foresight in you until you get your thesis turned in next week. But let me warn you. In a couple weeks, the university's going to throw a party for you under a big tent. They're going to give out mugs. Take two.

2. Find an arch-nemesis.

These kiddos thought I had given them best, most relevant advice they'd heard all evening. One of them suggested that I write a book aimed at graduates. The other two suggested that I follow them to the bar to get trashed. I told them that I couldn't afford drinks until my advice column was picked up for national syndication.

So, since I'm mad mad mad for Mad Libs, I thought I'd bring my theoretical advice column here in Mad Lib form so that you might take your Mad Liberties with the whole rigmarole. As before, respond to the list below in the comments. I'll post the answers on Sunday afternoon.
