5 Things I Wish I Knew Freshman Year
During my freshman year of college, there were a few things I learned along the way that I wish I had known right from the beginning. 1.. Below is a list of 5 important things any freshman should know, from day one.
1.2.
It’s okay to miss your best friend forever from home, or to try to make it work long distance with your high school boyfriend. But don’t be lost in high school and leave the drama behind. Meet new people, make new friends and most importantly keep an open mind when it comes to your high school relationship. If you feel like you’re crushing on someone else, explore the opportunity!
2. Always use student discounts.
Now that you’re in college, you shouldn’t pay full price for anything you buy. Sign up for Student Card to enjoy discounts at Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Lenovo, and many more. When you go to the library, or grab a pizza in town, always ask if the store offers a student discount. 3..
3. Don’t be spellbound by your Instagram self.
4. And you’re hoping your high school friends are watching…, but put away your phone once in a while and enjoy the moment! Also be mindful of what you’re sharing online. Do you really want your future employer, or your 15-year-old cousin to see you shotgun a beer on Instagram?
4. Try not to skip too many 8 am classes.
If you’re going to skip your 8 am class because it is too early, pick a later class. I know what you’re thinking, “I took morning classes in high school and I was fine.” It’s not the same, try to avoid these classes.
5. Get out of your comfort zone!
5. Take risks things, explore your passions, meet new people and smile! Remember, if it’s not going so well at first, you have three years to find something on campus you like and if you are enjoying yourself, be sure to spend your time wisely as four years go by quicker than you could ever expect!!
A. Almost every store does
B. Start off the year doing stuff right
C. Don’t stay stuck in high school
D. You want to share with the world how cool your new life is
E. Lastly, remember, college is only four years long
F. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, as it can make a big difference
G. So instead of going through the process yourself, I think I’d make things a bit easier
