Freshman year in the bag

So I know I dropped off the side of the world but I am going to try and make my comeback now! So to kick off this big debut why not start off with a countdown/list of things to know for your freshman year of college!

20 things learned from freshman year:
1. No matter how good you think the cafeteria food is now you will hate it by the end of the school year.

2. The cafeteria food will kill you! You think paula dean likes butter you haven't met your college caf yet!

3. That tiny dorm room won't be that small until the last 2 months of school, then it feels like a cardboard box.

4. Freshmen boys are not smart at all. So be friends and thats it!

5. You will fight with your room mate. When that time comes remember to hear their side.

6. Try new things and get involved.

7. Get out from your old highschool crowd and make new friends.

8. Call your Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother frequently.

9. Guard Your Heart.

10.  Go to the gym and try some of their classes, they are fun!

11. Talk to a random stranger out on the lawn, on the elevator, in class.

12. STUDY!! you don't want to be stuck with a 6 year bill because you wanted to party.

13. Go to class! Teachers see that and it will HELP your grade! office hours will be your best friend!

14. 8 a.m. classes are death. I don't care if you are miss sunshine and get up at the crack of dawn in                 college that changes and 8'oclocks will feel like you are trying to pull yourself out of a swamp.

15. Don't always take your advisors words as the best thing. Know what you want to do and how to get there. Advisors are people too, they will mess up, besides your not their only student. They don't remember every little detail to your ideas for your life.

16. Plan ahead, Dream, and don't let anyone steal your happiness.

17. Everyone has a unique story so be slow to judge, you never know the full store from the first                    impression.

18. Explore your college town! Eat at the one of a kind restaurant, run by the river, visit their zoo.

19. Don't forget who you are and what you stand for.
              There are a lot of voices and people that will pull you in different directions.
                                         Listen to your voice above the rest.

20. Find what you are passionate about and chase it down.
