If you're almost at the point in life where you're debating on going to college or not, or even if you're already in college and are wondering if the "college life" is your thing, just do it. Go to college. Stay in college. It's an experience that not everyone is lucky enough to get.
Here are a few reasons to consider experiencing the "college life":
1.) Lifelong friends.
In college, you'll meet some of the most amazing friends you can ever have. In college, I have met so many people who I don't know what I would do without. I am so glad that I met them.
2.) The diversity.
You meet a variety of people when you go to college. It's interesting to see the diversity among people. You get to learn about others during your first year, mainly, but also throughout the later years, too. The typical conversation starter is "Where are you from?" or "What's your major?"
3.) The education.
I can't leave out the education! College is a dramatic change from high school, but if you know what you want to do in the real world, then college is what gets you towards your future.
4.) The journey.
In college, you learn how to be more independent. It is most definitely a journey to remember. You'll probably even do things you'd never thought you'd do. Have fun, but also take it seriously. You will experience good and bad days, but if you make the days count, it will all be worth it.
Hopefully, you make memories funny enough to tell your kids and even grand-kids one day!
