24 Ways How You Can Just Be You in College
Sebastian Voortman

Young, wild and free. You are in college. You are discovering the world through your own perceptive and experiences. You can be anyone you want in this world. There's no one better than being you. I have been collecting advice from everyone around me on how to be the best me. Here's my advice to unveil the happiest, truest and best you.

1. Send that text.

2. Cut out the toxic people.

3. Try new foods.

4. Keep a journal.

5. Take up a new hobby. (Photography, painting, cooking, hiking, writing, etc.)

6. Talk to people in your major.

7. Email someone in your area that has your dream job. Ask them to grab coffee sometime.

8. Don't let little things ruin your day.

9. Call your parents or grandparents often.

10. Take long walks around campus.

11. Enjoy a sunset or sunrise.

12. Drink lots of water. Add a lemon slice sometimes.

13. Have "me time" to relax just by yourself.

14. Unplug from social media for a few days.

15. Explore the local area around campus.

16. Decorate your room with just things that make you happy.

17. Speak up for what you believe in.

18. Dress nicely at least once a week. (The rest of the week can be sweats)

19. Write three things are you grateful for every day.

20. Take the free cookie they are handing out. Life is too short to refuse cookies.

21. Organize your closet and drawers.

22. Watch old movies.

23. Stay up until 5 A.M. talking to your close friends. That's when the real feelings come out.

24. Just be yourself.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"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!
