In the classroom or not, I learned a lot.

What I Learned From 2 Years In College
msecnd.net

I finished up my second year of college in April, and as I reflect on how fast it's going I've also realized how much I've learned in just four semesters.

1. It's possible to wake up at 7:30 and still make it to your 8 a.m. Early.

2. Popcorn is definitely a meal.

3. Taco Bell for dinner two nights in a row is perfectly fine.

4. How to fit as much laundry as possible in the washer without causing a flood.

5. How to make $10 last a whole week.

6. It's alright to punch a guy in the face after he inappropriately touches you at a party.

7. Take advantage of the free Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich on Tuesdays.

8. Go to class before you buy the $250 textbook. You're probably not going to need it.

9. No one is going to judge you if you take a nap on that bench. Or that chair.

10. Pedialyte. That's all.

11. Testing how long you can go without a shower. (four days).

12. If you wear leggings all the time you don't notice when you gain weight.

13. Dating is weird. And really hard.

14. What it's like to fail a class.

15. Greek life is the best part of college.

16. Beer is literally the worst.

17. The 4 for $4 meal at Wendy's was made for college students.

18. You're going to cry. A lot.

19. The three jobs you're balancing are not worth the stress. Just be poor.

20. You're going to have a lot of fun.

These are just some of the things I've learned in my time in school and I cannot wait for what else I have to learn.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
