In This Article:

Since I was five years old, I have been learning.

I have been spending my life in school to prepare me for a career that will give me innovative challenges that I can't wait to tackle.

I have been dreaming of the day that I go to my office smiling and don't mind that I have a lot of work to do. In fact, I'll be excited to get started. And after each day, my dogs will welcome me home with licks and snuggles. I'll finally have the time to care of myself by exercising and eating healthy. That's my dream.

I want to be able to live my dream.

Many adults I know regret not working or taking more time for themselves after college. I don't want to live with the same regrets. After I graduate, I want to begin a job that makes me feel confident that I chose the right career path. I also want to have "me time". It will be essential that I can check in with myself and see if I am happy with my life. If not, I can make changes easily, because I will only have to worry about me.

I want my future to revolve around my successes. College is such a difficult place and time to attempt to get your life together. Graduation will be a new start for me.

I'll be able to get enough sleep, work out before driving to the office, then using my knowledge to work on amazing projects.

Once I'm comfortable with all I have achieved, then I'll reevaluate my focus for the future. Until then, I can't wait to get started.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
