Did I actually learn every single detail of every single class and use my knowledge in every day life? Heck no, but here are some things I did learn.

1. You really do meet lifelong friends.

The friends I have met in this short 8 months or so, are ones that I am going to want around for the rest of my life.

2. You'll also make a mom friend, if you aren't one. If you are one, you will become the mom friend 2.0. Cherish this.

3. You will walk, everywhere.

4. ^^ Because chances are underclassmen parking will be filled with upperclassman. Sorry.

5. One meal out and about can become two if you have portion control.

6. Don't talk too much politics, because honestly not a lot of people care.

7. DEAD WEEK IS A THING.

SOS.

8. Stressed? Go visit some puppies at the local animal shelter.

9. Dead week actually means you almost die. Only the tough survive.

Enter at your own risk.

10. Don't loft your bed if you sleep walk.

11. A couple episodes of Netflix can work wonders on your stress.

12. Going home means taking food back to your dorm.

13. 17 credits plus clinical hours or a job and extra curricular activities are a lot.

You should probably know how to manage your time.

14. Group projects suck.

15. Medical majors suck.

But they are so worth it.

16. Some professors, REALLY suck.

17. Too much is never a good thing, because you will get burnt out quicker than you know.

Unless its coffee.

18. Stress eating is alive and well.

19. Grouping (when you are around people so much you talk/think/act like them) is also alive and well.

20. People are sometimes loud and obnoxious but just listen.

21. Don't mess with game days' on campus.

22. Also, wear your gear for professional teams on game day and if its a collegiate game, you better be decked out.

23. Do not wait until the day before a final to start studying.

You are not invincible wonder man or woman. Don't.

24. Take advantage of cheap community events.

25. Trust your gut.

26. Make a routine about doing your laundry because it will pile up before you know it.

27. You will lose your room key, ID, wallet, keys, and so on.

It is not the end of the world, but it is hella stressful.

28. High school WILL NOT prepare you, no matter what your teachers say.

29. You will do stupid things in public, your friends will video tape them.

And they will also be there to not let you do it again.

30. No, I don't know how to do taxes yet.

31. I don't even know how to work the school website sometimes.

32. Invest in an umbrella, or two.

Rainboots. Ponchos. No one likes to sit next to someone in class who is wet.

33. ^^No one likes being wet in class.

34. Money is important. Budget wisely.

35. ^^But also, treat yo' self.

36. You will get sick. It is okay to call your mom and complain.

37. Second semester is to help get your first semester GPA up.

38. The world needs better people, so work hard.

39. LOVE. YOUR. ROOMMATE.

If you don't, don't be afraid to talk to someone or switch.

40. To-do lists are life.

41. You can get to class in under 5 minutes if you try.

You gotta want it.

42. Wearing leggings and shirts is okay every.

You can be a basic white girl, be comfortable. Be you.

43. Coffee will be your best friend.

44. I would recommend working out, unless you have a great metabolism.

45. Don't buy too many school supplies.

46. It is okay to keep your dorm door open.

47. ^^But it is also okay to shut it when people are annoying.

48. Don't take a test while you're sick.

Talk to the professor about rescheduling, they are super lenient usually.

49. Sunday Scares are real.

11:50 PM on a Sunday night when an assignment is due at 11:59 PM- worse than the boogieman.

50. Most importantly, it is okay to go home whenever you need to.

I hope this helps the incoming freshman, this year is one for the books y'all.
