Going into sophomore year of college is exciting because you already have one year under your belt. However, there are a lot of things that we don't know. Here is a list of things that I learned this past semester.

1. Never miss a football game

You never know what will happen at a college football game. You could end up rushing the field with your best friends.

2. You might lose some friends, but you'll find even better ones

Of course you're not going to be friends with everyone. It's okay to move on and find people who bring out the best in you.

3. It's better to study with other people

Trust me, it's a lot better to suffer with friends than suffer alone.

4. A cup of coffee a day is okay

I've always been told that it isn't good to have coffee every day. However, when you are running on only a few hours of sleep with classes till six p.m., it can get difficult. You won't regret it.

5. I miss my family more than I thought I would

I found myself FaceTiming my family a lot more than I probably should've. It has made me realize to cherish the moments we have together.

6. It's okay to nap every day

You're a college student! Napping is essential if you want to keep up with your busy schedule.

7. You can always treat yourself

Yes, this does mean you can go to places off-campus for food. Dining hall food can get annoying very quickly, so treat yourself to some nicer options.

8. It's acceptable to cry

College is hard. It's not as easy as some people make it out to be. You're going to want to cry every once in awhile. Do it.

9. Let go of people who don't help you grow

That boy who doesn't make time for you? Drop him. That friend who only needs you when its convenient for them? Drop them.

10. Take a lot of pictures and videos

It's always so fun to go back and look at old pictures and videos of your friends. Whenever you're sad these will definitely cheer you up.

11. Self-care is so important

Make sure you spend time focusing on yourself. There are many people who care about you and are here to support you. It's okay to spend a Friday night alone in your room if you want to.
