It is officially your second semester as a college freshman. You finally found a rhythm that works for you and, for the most part, you know where your classes are. Now, you are probably wondering whether or not the college you are attending is the right fit for you, thus you might want to transfer and start again in a new place. Or, you are thinking of joining the Greek life or maybe you are just deciding to go with the flow and allow things to just fall into place.

As a senior who is enduring her last year and is beginning to have a bittersweet taste in her mouth, I should let you know a few things: Your college experience flies. Sure it feels like a long way until senior year, but it senior year really hits you hard. It's like a train just running towards you high speed.

Freshman year is the year to reinvent yourself. To be the person you always wanted to be, to be the person you did not think you can be in high school. Get involved in classes, join the Greeks if that is what you want to do, make new friends, do things that make you feel uncomfortable and takes you out of your comfort zone.

Being a college freshman is fun and exciting, and if you are thinking of transferring schools because you are on a dry campus, you are leaving for the wrong reasons. The parties are exhilarating and hanging out with your friends are just as great, but if that is all you are there for, you are missing out.

I say this because you will see people leave because they feel they are "missing out on the college experience." When in fact, you make your college experience. You can decide what makes your college experience worth while.

It is ok if you have been going with the flow, but vow to yourself to do something different this next semester. Maybe join student government or the student entertainment board. Go to school events; there are more things to do on campus than just party.

There are so many activities to do on campus, and fun fact, some of the events give out FREE FOOD. If that does not get you to go then I do not know what will.

Do the things that you said you would do in high school but did not. Study abroad for a semester. I cannot stress enough about doing something different.

Getting involved on campus goes a long way because you realize your strengths and weaknesses, making you grow from the experience. College is the biggest adventure you will go on before you go off into the real world.

So go out and be the best you that you can possibly be. Before you know it, you will be in you senior year thinking, "Wow, I have done almost everything I wanted to do."
