Now that my first year of college is done and over, I’ve come to known myself a lot better.

They say that college is the place where you try to find yourself. The place where you will experience many, many things that’ll hopefully make you mature.

I have definitely learned a lot this year about many things and I have definitely experienced many things this year.

I’m pretty sure I can speak for myself and most for my friends at my college this first year has impacted all of us in very different ways.

The first year can be stressful for all of us, living away from home, dating, adjusting to the schoolwork and cocky professors that don’t know how to teach.

Whether your staying at the college you chose or you are transferring out or you just think college is not for you, events in your life happened to make you decide these things. And these events have made you learn from your mistakes or the greatest decision in your life.

In this year, I’ve learned who are the people who turned out to be my closest friends in college and who turned out to be flaky friends even if it wasn’t towards me per say but to a very close friend of mines.

With dating, GOD have I learned a lot about dating and men. And it has been a great experience with men even though most of them sucked and I’m pretty sure there will be a lot more that will suck. But I have a feeling that there will be a lot more good experiences with dating. I hope that’s the case for everyone that is open to dating.

Classes and schoolwork have absolutely changed my life. Not really the class work but it’s a specific professors and science class that made me fall deeper in love with biology and how I’m glad I’m going through the Pre-medicine track.

This year I have decided to also take a summer class and get ahead in my major. Although I would like to have my summer free, I know taking this class will help me in the long run.

I hope other college students first year has taught them as well. They can live and learn and hopefully can accept the choices they have made whether good or bad and learn from them. Maybe make them better or change the choices completely.

I hope I can learn much more in my second year

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
