4 Things I Wish I Would Have Done In College

It's been a few days since I've graduated college, and I can't help but to think about what I wish I would have done during my years in school. I know I can't possibly be the only one who's reflecting back so here are the four things I wish I would have done while in college

1. Joined a sorority

In the beginning, I always told myself that I wouldn't want to join one. I didn't believe in hazing or the idea of "paying for friends." I thought to myself, "Eh, I know how to make friends, people love me!" But, I know now that it would've changed my entire college experience as a whole. I would've had a group of ladies with me in my life forever.

2. Been more active in clubs

Clubs are a great way to meet new people, make friends and connections. If I would've joined more clubs, I would have been more involved with campus life, which I really wasn't. Clubs will keep you busy. I have those days where I was glad to come home after a long day filled with classes. Other times, I wish I had something to do.



3. Took a language class

In high school it was required to take Spanish. I did really well in Spanish, it was actually one of my favorite classes because I understood it so well. When you go to college, there are so many electives and GE's to choose from. We get the choice of picking whatever classes we want. It's so beneficial to be able to speak different languages. My Spanish speaking skills could be way better than they are now if I decided to take a class or two. Or even a French class. That would have been cool.



4. Studied abroad

This one is pretty self explanatory. Whether to go to another school in the states or internationally traveled, not studying abroad definitely is a huge regret for me. There is so much out there that I have yet to see. Travelling is so fun and I know it could have made my college years so much better. My friends that did study abroad loved it and I can't lie and say that I was jealous.

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.
