1. Naps. Naps are everything.

2. Sometimes you've just got to take the L.

And then another L. And a few more Ls after that.

3. Even if you love your school, you're not always gonna be okay. And that's okay.

4. You'll find your true passion when you least expect it.

5. People are complicated.

You can't judge them by one aspect of their personality or one thing they've done.

6. You'll be able to find things in common with people from across the country and the world, but you'll feel a special connection to those from your home state.

7. You're never gonna go to sleep before 12.

Just accept it and laugh with your sleep deprived roommates until the early hours of the morning.

8. The best memories are the ones that aren't planned.

9. Keeping in touch with friends from home isn't actually that hard.

You might not talk as much as you used to, but you know you can always call them up and talk about your lives like nothing has changed.

10. Sometimes you'll just miss your mom. A lot.

Doing everything on your own is hard.

11. Opportunities will pop up at the most random times, so keep your eyes open.

12. A lot of people aren't what they seem.

That can be a good thing or a bad thing. It depends.

13. You'll do things you never would have done in high school and you won't regret them one bit.

Except when you do regret them. It happens to the best of us.

14. Your roommates don't have to be your best friends, but it's way more fun when they are.

15. Honestly, no one cares what you do, so just be yourself and do what you want.

16. College isn't what you'd expect. Actually, it's even better.
