These are the best four years of your life, right? College is when you "figure out who you are" and find your best friends for life. It's the place that you learn way more than you ever thought you would about the world. Sometimes you stress a little too much about papers, and sometimes you party a little too hard. But you know that it'll be over in the blink of an eye, so cherish this great time before you're an official "grown up."

College teaches you how to survive on little to no money.

At first, you're not totally sure who is going to be your friend.

You're still trying to figure out how to live in a dorm with all these strangers.

Then, all of a sudden, you realize you've found your squad.

Awesome people who will unconditionally love you, even when you're making a fool of yourself.

You might even meet a significant other along the way.

Of course, knowing about current events is a staple of the college experience.

And you learn how to deal with your problems like the adult you're becoming.

You learn how to deal with difficult people.

And sometimes, you make mistakes.

But thankfully, you have your close friends right there, because they're ready to knock some sense into you.

Finals weeks will be the cause of at least one mental breakdown.

But as soon as they're over...

You might even spend a semester abroad.

All of a sudden, it's senior year, and you have to find a job for after graduation.

Even though it stresses you out that you're single and everyone keeps inviting you to be in their weddings, you still do it.

Because you know college has changed you for the better. It's put some awesome people in your life, and has made you into the person you are today.
