"Set a limit and attach it to your parents account," he said. Calling to raise your limit on spending will only ultimately ruin your credit report, "because the credit card companies know you'll spend up to that limit and only pay the minimum." He also warned against most American Express cards that require payment in full.
Cocktails can lead to a myriad of unfortunate events, though most of which are not "the end of the world," Renzi said. Renzi took blood tests for STDs at a health center and wondered why people are still contracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases when the equipment to prevent it is available. Condoms can prevent college students from contracting various diseases, he said, and warned cocktails often create circumstances in which condoms are not used. Renzi stamped his foot and shouted as he realized two other 'C' words, cocaine and crystal meth could be used in this category.
The most prolific statement Renzi said concerned class. "If you don't like the class, you won't like it as a job," he said, "if you don't like what you're doing for homework, you're not going to want to do it everyday." Renzi said he was saddened by people who "lived for the weekend" and believed that their day-to-day work was not really "living." He quoted the common mantra, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."
"You do have your own life, you focus on yourself and then you find these problems, and you're at a college therapist, and then taking Zoloft, and you forget the whole point of why you're here, you're here because you're lucky," he said.
"So have a good time," he said. "But try waking up and saying to yourself 'today I am going to class' as opposed to 'today I have to go to class' and you'll see the difference that it makes," Renzi said.
Renzi also conceded a few "Real World" secrets; that Coral and Veronica are just as bad as they seem on TV and though just being a homosexual was wild enough to get you on the show once, "now you have to be gay and crazy," he said, which occurs from time to time as Renzi looses his temper on various reality show stints such as "The Gauntlet" and "The Inferno."
"On the challenges he was one of my favorites, he seems very funny and genuine," said Danielle Hajjar, a 1st-semester physical therapy major.
He admitted many people on the show "feed into the machinery and play the game."
The star struck crowd filled the aisles as they waited to pose for pictures with Renzi after his lecture. Though flanked by adoring fans, and often stopped by strangers, he insisted reality stars are just like anyone else, that he lived happily before the "Real World" and that with editing and a soundtrack anyone's life can be cinematic.
