For those of you just joining university I would like to offer this piece of advice. The 3 second rule is the fundamental principle of the modern ages. It can override health inspection laws, seating reservations and even bros before hoes

So what is this 3 second rule. At it’s most basic it is a measurement of how long a person has to take action/wait before they either cannot take that action or are allowed to take that action.

Examples:

• The 3 second rule applied to food: If food drops on the floor you have 3 seconds to pick it up and eat it.
• The 3 second rule applied to seating: If a member of the group leaves for whatever reason, all members of the group must wait 3 seconds before taking the seat.
• The 3 second rule applied to pulling: Once a target is acquired you have 3 seconds to take action. Any longer and the brain starts sobering up/thinking and no one wants that.
• The 3 second rule applied to spirits. When in possession of a shared spirit the person preparing a drink has 3 seconds to pour a measurement and pass the spirit along. This doesn’t get enforced too often due to the lax nature of drinking parties.
• The 3 second rule applied to food, part II. Once a person has indicated they have finished with their food, any food after 3 seconds is up for grabs.

So go forth my educated pigeons and flourish in the student world!
