College has been one of the most intense and different experiences of my entire life, it’s completely different from high school and I finally feel like I’m being treated like an adult. However, to be completely honest this list in only half complete, I’m only halfway done college, and still have a ton of more lessons to learn. So without further ado, here are the things I’ve learned through college so far:

1. If it’s free it’s for me.

2. Join clubs or organizations.

3. Learn how to thrive and very little food or sleep.

4. Load up on Carbs around the weekend (We all know why).

5. Don’t forget to have fun.

6. If you haven’t learned how to do your own laundry yet, you better learn quick.

7. Showing up for class can be difficult, but if you’re not good at something always show up to that class.

8. SHU dining isn’t very good, but you really don’t have any other options.

9. Go to sporting events.

10. Find a major you love and pursue that.

11. Learn to live on a shoestring budget.

12. Learn to live without your parents and strangers instead.

13. Love your college experience. You’re only young once.
