When you enter college, it's a whole new place where you have the ability to find yourself, have the ability to fail and create memories with people that are gonna be in your life for a lifetime. College is the time in your life where you have the opportunity to create the best moments in your life.

These are the four best things college has to offer you.

1. Parties, ALL THE TIME

College is the only time in your life where you have the opportunity to have the time of your life by dancing away all your problems. Parties are a scene where everyone makes memories, good or bad, and have the ability to connect with so many different people.

2. Having The Ability To Fail and Bounce Right Back

Many individuals have a reality check when they enter college and realize how difficult it actually is compared to high school. When you begin to take exams and study way more than you did in high school, it becomes evident that college is a more serious than what people expect. So when individuals began to fail classes or exams, they have the ability to think about what they need to change about their studying habits and have the ability to fix their mistakes.

3. Having Friends Constantly Around You

College is great for having your friends around you 24/7 at all times of the day. Whenever you have a problem or an issue they will be super close by to come visit you to help you out.

4. Finally Having Freedom

College is the number one place where you have the ability to experience freedom for the first time. The freedom you receive can teach you so much on how you should organize your time and learn what you should prioritize.

College is one of the best times in your life, through the memories you create and the mistakes you make, so it is important to take every opportunity and make the best of it.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.
