The fall semester is coming up quickly and everyone is packing for college and getting ready to start a new chapter. Getting ready to meet new people and live with someone you may have never expected meeting before. All the different kinds of people that you will meet come from all over the country and possibly the world. They will teach you all kinds of different things that can range from useful and just something that you couldn't imagine someone actually doing before. Here are a few things that you will learn from new people at college.

1. New terms

When you meet new people, you'll find out that something you once called a water fountain is called a bubbler in some states. Sometimes when you use the slang that you used when you were at home, you'll constantly be questioned why you say something or what it means. Obviously this goes both ways when talking.

2. New solutions

You could be dealing with a problem that you may never have dealt with before. But your new friend who has lived a completely different life than you may have gone through the same exact problem. They may know different ways and think of different points of view than you did before.

3. New food options

Being in a new state will be hard when you can't get that Papa Gino's pizza you're craving. But the upside is, you may find something that's even better than something you have at home. I know, you will always represent your home and the food that comes from it but give the food around you a chance.

4. New goals

Because of all the different ages, someone you know may have done something that you could only dream of or something that have never wanted to strive for before. Because everyone is different and at different points in their lives, they could give you an idea of what you could accomplish some day.

5. New activities

Due to different kinds of places in some states and countries, you could learn about something you've never thought of trying before. Instead of doing something like watching TV which you and everyone else does a lot, you could learn how to knit or go and dumpster dive.

6. New languages

While you may know a certain language from your old school, you may learn new words or sentences in a language you never have been able to speak before. Mostly, you'll learn curse words or something inappropriate because it's funny to learn how to say it in a new language.

7. New people you never would have guessed

When you get to college, you have to talk to a lot of people. There is something about these people that have aspects to them that you may have hated before with other people, but the people you may meet are different. You may have never considered being friends with some of these new people but with a new chapter, you'll meet new people who will teach you new life lessons.
