After almost two years of being in college I figured it was about time for a "WHAT I LEARNED IN BOATING SCHOOL WAS..." article.

So, college taught me...

1. How to google and find the best gifs in about 5 seconds. There's practically a gif for everything.

2. How to make myself feel like I am being productive when I'm really not.

3. How I thought I was good at procrastinating in high school.... Psh, my high school self has nothing on me now.\

4. How to think for myself and form my own opinions on topics that I feel passionate about.

5. How to make a whole pizza last for 3 meals because I'm broke, don't get paid for another day, and desperate.

6. How to hide from my responsibilities.

7. How to become an awesome feminist woman in society.

8. How to educate a person without putting them down or making them seem like they are an idiot, even if I secretly think that they are.

9. How to really just not care about other peoples opinions, because I know I'm awesome and I do not need reassurance about that from anyone.

10. How to be truly awesome and come into my own skin and be comfortable in it.

11. How to make friends. And I don't mean the kind of friends that just call you when they need something or need a shoulder to cry on, I mean the true friends that come over at 9 pm at night just to watch comedy shows. These are the best friends who like you for who you really are, no strings attached.

12. How to make the most out of what you have and to be thankful for it.

13. How to build a better relationship with my parents and to appreciate them more.

14. How to be resourceful. Extremely resourceful........ Lets not get into details but I'm sure all you college kids understand. I raise my glass to you all.

15. How to follow every news page possible and still not know what's happening???? Honestly, I don't know how this happens. Maybe it's the type of news pages I am following? I mean, cats are news, right????

16. How to step out of my comfort zone and actually do things I have been dreaming about doing but was afraid to do until now, like get my first tattoo and actually chop all my hair off!

Being in college is really great. It is such an experience, and honestly, I love it. I love that I have met people that I know will be at my wedding and probably in it too. I love the flexibility and the great opportunities that come with being in college. Yes, it is hard, but it is worth it. Every instant mac and cheese dinner is worth the day I walk across the stage and finally have my degree and am on my way to law school. Every late night and study break is going to be worth it when I am 30 years old and successful. Keep going, guys. You rock and remember, you're not alone in the struggle and the best way to get through it is to joke about it, because if you can't laugh about it then you'll just be sad about it.
