Be you ... but don't get carried away with it. If your passion in life is, say, dipping people in chocolate pudding to get your jollys, probably best to keep that to yourself. Stay within spittin' distance of some recognizable social conventions.

And "know thy school", different things will likely fly at different places.

Have known a couple of people who likely blew a chance by failing to do both of those things.
