10 Things You Should NEVER Do In College, But Will Probably Do Anyway

Whether you have been in college for 4 days or 4 years, mistakes have been made. These mistakes can be pretty funny or pretty sucky. I have had plenty of moments where I have said to myself, "Well....that just happened." But without these moments, I would not be able to look back on my college career and either learn from my mistakes or continue to make the same mistakes.

1. Don't study the day before your exam

Multiple days in advance is key to get a good grade

2. Don't miss out on opportunities because you're unsure

Just. Do. It.

3. Don't let someone take your unassigned assigned seat

Or at least try not to because it really throws the vibe off

4. Don't skip the gym

Endorphins are everything

5. Don't be afraid to eat that piece of cake at the dining halls

No one cares and probably is thinking the same thing

6. Don't be afraid to hurt feelings

Not worth it

7. Don't try to find parking 10 minutes before your class

You just won't make it to class or be hella late

8. Don't buy your textbooks before classes start

Most of the time I never cracked open the book, make sure you will NEED the book before you buy or rent it

9. Don't lose your college ID

I have never done this, but after seeing "Found *insert name* on the bus please let him/her know." It just doesn't sound like a good idea and a replacement is expensive for a piece of plastic.

10. Don't regret anything

It's college, enjoy it all, even your mistakes.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
