Freshman year. Man oh man was this one of the worst and best years of my life. I think they should have a guide to help you survive it because that would have definitely come in handy at times. Mistakes will obviously be made, many times, and that is okay. If it makes you feel any better, no one knows what in the world they are supposed to do with all that freedom at 18 years old. It is the best thing because you get a rush and you get to really do whatever you want, whenever you want. It is also the worst because too much freedom will get you in a little bit of trouble.

1. Skip the library sometimes and get those college experiences.

2. Maybe not skip the library as much as I did. (Oops)

3. Join some on campus clubs.

4. Do not be lazy with your study habits.

5. Try to make it to at least one football game of the season.

6. SLEEP as much as you can.

7. Go to the gym & don't let the freshman 15 get you.

8. Do not let a boy control your life, focus on your friends.

9. Go to those frat parties, but do not be that girl crying in the street holding her shoes.

10. Do not procrastinate, get those fitness passports done.

11. All-nighters are never the answer.

12. But bring a blanket and slippers to the library if you decide to pull one.

13. Makeup and cute outfits are not for class, you're supposed to look like you just rolled out of bed.

14. Get to know your dorm neighbors, one of them might turn out to be the love of your life!

15. Unplug from the world for a little, turn that phone off for a couple hours.

16. Remember your religious and moral values.

17. Do your laundry at least once a week, PLEASE.

18. Stop caring about what other people think.

19. Start caring about what makes you happy.

20. HAVE FUN!

I wish I could go back to my freshman year and use the things I know now. Don't take life so seriously, have fun.

You live and you learn.
