I think it is safe to say that college is full of unexpected surprises. Some of these are good surprises but others are not. People expect us to know how to do things that we were never taught in high school.

1. A crash course on Taxes, loans

We learned how to find an area of a circle yet we never learned what a W2 form is.

2. How to Budget( everything from money to time)

As college students, we are often in class for maybe two to three hours a day probably more if you are a science or music major. How to fit everything in while still having a positive bank account?

3. How to Avoid the Freshmen 15( Fitness Edition)

4. How to be a Good Roommate

5.How to Avoid the Freshmen 15( Food Edition)

Eventually we get tired of dining hall food and we find ourselves ordering pizza or making Raman. There should honestly be a class on how to avoid weight gain while still enjoying what we eat.

6. How to Handle Stress

In high school we stressed about everything from grades to prom dresses. Honestly your stress level will probably be higher in college. I wish that we had a stress management class in high school because I cannot tell you how many times I have broken down into tears about how stressed I am.

7. Songs that you should know outside the Top 40

There are just some old songs that every college student should know.
