I have not been a college student long but, I feel that I have learned a few interesting lessons during my short time on campus. These are things that you aren't told during high school, these tidbits are a tad obscure. Honestly, they aren't life changing but they do make life a little more amusing.

Drop It Like It's Hot (a class that is).

That's right I said it, drop the class that is going to drop your GPA. Drop the class that gives you major anxiety. Drop the class that you don't need. In all seriousness, talk to your adviser so you can do what is best for you.

Take Advantage of Free Stuff!

I am frugal therefore I like free things. Give me all the free t-shirts and pizza! You'll have plenty of sleep shirts and a stomach full of food you didn't have to pay for, life is good!

Find Your Choice Napping Spots.

If you are a commuter student like myself, we don't have the option of napping in a dorm before class. I have found the best place to nap during breaks and it is honestly so helpful. Some questions that I ask myself are: Do I feel safe in this space? Will someone touch my stuff? Am I comfortable enough to sleep?

Even though these insights are not life changing, they can be helpful. These are even great for incoming college students, the more you know going in the better your experience will be.
