What I learned after two weeks of college.

I never thought it would be so awesome.

What I learned after two weeks of college.
Wikipedia

I've been in college for two weeks and I've already decided its the coolest place ever. I also learned a lot in the first two weeks, and I am only beginning.

1.) Balance is needed.

They tell you to balance out your grades and sleep, but honestly everything needs to be balanced. Meals, snacks, remembering to drink water, and what days you do homework. If you dont figure out your balance you get tired and burnt out quick.

2.) Friends are easier to make than you'd think.

In high school making friends was terrifying. People judged you for everything, they were mean, and they generally didn't care about you. In college is completely opposite. You can make friends by just sitting next to some strangers in the student union. Also, nobody is judging you. Theyre actually probably of your razor scooter you took to class this morning.

3.) Nobody judges you.

You can come to class in PJs or all dolled up and nobody really cares honestly. If anything we praise you for having the confidence to come to class in PJs or for your effort to look nice because the rest of us show up in shorts and a t-shirt.

4.) The library is the best place on campus

This place is great to take a nap or to work on homework. I spend 90% of my time in the library because its just a great for me to be able to take a break.

5.) You get your 10,000 steps in daily.

On a slow day I walk around 4.5 miles, but on other days it can be anywhere from eight to ten miles.

6.) Notes are important.

Take good notes, but sometimes you have professors who don't really have lectures. They do class discussions. I'll let you all know what to do about those when I figure it out myself.

7.) Your professors are actually really cool people.

Maybe I just got blessed, but all of my professors make class a fun place to be. They keep us laughing, keep us engaged, and keep us motivated.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
