Things I wish I knew my Freshman Year.


This year I am going into my second year of University. Looking back my freshman year of college was one the most challenging, but rewarding years of life.
Here is some advice I wish I would have going into the craziest year of your life.

1. You will change. Be open to it.
In fact embrace it with open arms.

2. Make real friends. 
Friends in college are great, but real good friends are priceless. Your friends become your support system and your family while you are away in school. Also make sure you a real friend to people. Give and take.

3. Do something Crazy.
Step outside your comfort zone. Do something that you can look back on and tell your kids about and laugh. Stay out until 3 am, run around campus with friends, do stupid things because you can.

4. Relax about your grades.
This may seem strange, but don't spend all of college studying. Remember to have a balance.

5. On the opposite side, Do Study.
You are paying for these classes, so show up.

What advice would you have given yourself during your freshman year of college?
