There’s more to college than late nights, bar hopping, and even academics. College is a time for self-discovery. Here are some things you learn outside of the classroom.
The way college is portrayed on television is unrealistic.
College is NOT an everlasting celebration, the stress is real but worth it!
Relationships and friendships aren’t forever.
People grow apart and that’s okay.
Perseverance.
The end goal here is to graduate and there’s a lot of hard work along the way. Don’t. Give. Up.
You discover the things you’re truly passionate about.
College gives you the chance to see things that you would have never seen in your hometown. It opens doors to opportunities for you to learn and you are able to truly find who you want to be and what you love to do.
To live outside of your comfort zone.
So many things will make you uncomfortable in college, but these things will only make you a more well-rounded individual.
Taking time to rest
This is crucial to your success in your college as well as your personal life.
I will admit, college is scary and very overwhelming. You'll walk in to classes where you truly are just a number, but what you learn outside of any class you take will truly be what you use for the rest of your life.
