College is the time where you get to learn and experience new things. You have four years of your life. That’s 1,460 days and 35,040 hours; which is a LOT of time. And while you’re there, there are so many opportunities for you to do. So why not take advantage of as many as you can get? I know that by being at college for a year so far, I have been given so many opportunities that I never had the chance of doing. Opportunities such as being a part of a Habitat for Humanity Club, playing intramural soccer, and going to the tutor or writing center. I also have indulged in the three private beaches that my college owns, have tried new foods, and have had a lot of fun. Since you’re here for so long, you might as well accept the new opportunities that are thrown your way and try as many of them as you can.

Many people have said that “college will be the best four years of your life.” Is that true? I for one know that I have had a great college experience so far, but it has not been the best moment in my life. Do the people who say that go out and experience as many occasions and opportunities as they could find? Probably. So that’s what I am encouraging all of you college students to do; even myself. Even if you’re not in college, I encourage you to go take advantage of the luxuries that life gives you because you’re only young once. Go out and grab onto those opportunities, and don’t let go until you are ready for the next one.
