College is one of the best experiences, one of the biggest blessings to be able to experience. The first week of college is a big change; there are a lot of laughs, stories, and new friends. Here's a few of mine...

1. Make sure you know how to parallel park.

Make sure you have the ability to parallel park, and make sure you don’t cut your wheels towards the curb, because that will get you a parking ticket.

2. DO NOT wear the shirt you are trying to steam.

Steamers are blessings, but only if you correctly use them... Make sure you do not wear the piece of clothing you are steaming. You will get burned and it will leave a scar.

3. Go buy a hook for your keys.

Moving in is hectic; keeping up and trying to organize all your stuff is hectic. Make sure you have a certain spot to put your keys. It really is annoying having to search through all the mess for them.

4. Make sure the shower head is pointed down.

Make sure the shower head is pointed down before you turn it on. Flooding the bathroom is no fun, no fun at all.

5. Be as social as possible.

There are so many different people in college. So many different cultures, attitudes, stories, make sure you do not close yourself off to one group. College is a big place meet as many new people as possible.

6. Make sure you leave early for class.

Classes tend to get moved... a lot. Make sure you leave early for your first week of classes so you do not have to go from one side of the campus to the other for the same class.

7. Make a routine ASAP.

College life moves fast, classes move fast, everything goes fast. Make sure you have a routine to stay on schedule, stay healthy, and just keep up with everything in general.

8. College is fun, but very serious.

All these to say, college is a fun, goofy time. Make sure you make as many friends as possible, study as hard as you can, and have as much fun as you can.
