What's the hurry?

Don't Wish Away College

Being a junior in college, you start to hear the different opinions and changing perspectives of the remaining time left of your four years here. There’s two types of people. You have the one person who would legitimately fail a class just to get one more semester in and the other person who would leave this school in a heartbeat. From the way I see it, this is the only time you will be able to experience college and it goes by in a blink of an eye. Believe it or not, there are going to be a few things that can only be found in your college time that you will miss.

One thing you will miss is the social aspect of college. It’ll soon hit you when you’re deep in your job and soon realize you don’t have the time to go out or have no energy to go out. The beauty of college is the plenty of opportunities you have to go out. Margarita Mondays, Mug night Tuesdays, Ladies night Wednesdays, Thirsty Thursdays, you can easily find an excuse to go out any day of the week. After college, you can find me at the movie theatre with my mom on a Friday night. Not that I don’t love my mom. Cherish going out with your friends while you can.

Another thing you will miss is having the pleasure of living with your best friends. Maybe your apartment/house isn’t sparkling clean, but you’re going to miss yelling at your friends to take the garbage out and complain that you never have clean utensils. Having the opportunity to live with my friends makes my college experience so awesome. You get to laugh with them the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed. This is the most time you will spend with your friends you made from college, so don’t be in a rush to say goodbye.

Don’t wish away college. It is important to think about what’s to come after you graduate and there is no problem with being excited about your plans after college. However, ask yourself “When’s the next time you are going to experience this much fun?”

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
