Job advice: don't think you're too good to do anything. You're in college - you need to pay for stuff. Earn your keep by cleaning porta-poties if that's what you need to do. Everyone starts somewhere, and actually GETTING your hands dirty is good.
Room-mate advice. Buy a lock and use it religiously, even if you are home. Your roommates might be honest, but friends of friends can really suck. I wouldn't plan on sharing ANY food until you know your roommates really well. My junior year room-mate and I went shopping together - it seemed like we were a couple at times . But we got along really well, were both anal about similar things, and had a good time together.
I learned during my junior year that there has to be a division between fun time and school time. 1st and 2nd year there was no division - fun time started as soon as classes were over. That dog didn't hunt - I did well enough to get by, but 3rd and 4th year, school time last from when classes were over that day until about 9pm. 9pm is when the fun time starts, and it ends when classes began the next day.
Focus on one thing at a time. I'd have graduated with honors if I figured that out sooner...
