Going into this semester, whether it be your first or your eighth, just keep a few things in mind.
1. People will always judge you weather it's professors on the first day, or everyone else on campus. Don't let that stop you, or hinder you at all.
2. It isn't always going to be easy, classes, friendships, relationships, complications. You will definitely learn how to handle stress whether for the better, or the worse.
3. Enough Said.
4. College is full of transitions, trust yourself and your instinct.

5. Remember you're here to better yourself, not for anyone else.
6. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're your biggest critic.
7. No regrets.
8. Throughout college you definitely won't be the same person you came in on day 1.

10. If you're able to find amazing people that you can trust and connect with, make amazing memories, and cherish them. Friendships like these are rare, and won't come often.
