What I Wish My High School Self Knew

There are so many things I want to tell you, but that would spoil all the fun.

Jan 23, 2017

Hey, it’s you from the future. I know your problems right now seem like the end of the world. I’m writing to tell you that they’re not. I want you to know that you’re going to be just fine. We are 21 and about to graduate college now, and have had some of the best times. Along with those great times, there have also been some of the hardest times yet. Stay focused, be yourself, and know that everything will get better. I know you’re ready to grow up and be an adult, but slow down. You’ll want to turn back the clock before you know it. There are so many things I want to tell you, but that would spoil all the fun. So here are just a few things I want you to remember…

1. Stay home

I know being with your friends 24/7 seems so important and that’s all you want to do, but stay home more and spend time with your family as much as you can.

2. Don’t get upset over that boy

It may seem like he’s worth your tears, but trust me - he’s not. There are much better guys out there.

3. Focus on school

This one is SO important. Do your homework, study, and work hard to help you out for college. When you get to college, spend your freshman year finding yourself, not finding the bars.

4. Freshman 15 is real

Right now you can eat whatever you want and stay skinny. Believe me when I say that goes away!

5. Love yourself

Last but definitely not least, love yourself no matter what. You aren’t fat and it’s okay to be pale. Don’t work so hard trying to impress anyone but yourself.

So I leave you with those few tips. Don’t worry you will turn out all right!

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
