College has its highs and its lows. Before you can walk across the stage and receive your diploma, here are some confessions that make sense whether you're a freshman or a senior.
1. Whenever you move into your dorm for the first time you're full of excitement, but as soon as your parent's car pulls away it's inevitable you'll miss them.
2. You'll find them, just give it time. Your friend group that you have freshman year probably won't be the same as senior year. You have four years. You'll grow as a person and your friendships will reflect that.
3. I don't know if it's that college changes a person or that they become more free to come into themselves, but you'll probably outgrow some of your home friends. The friendships that are meant to be will find their way.
4. Once you find your people, you'll realize what it means to have true friends.
5. Most skills that you learn in college don't come from a classroom.
6. Connections. Connections. Connections.
7. It's never too late to study what interests you. Oftentimes people end up in jobs they never expected, so be open to the experiences and find your passion. Don't give up!
8. School is important, but your health is even more important. Don't be afraid to take a mental health day and there is no shame in getting help from professionals.
9. I know it's easy to just take syllabus week off, but it's better to start a schedule now than to fall behind. The key to college is budgeting your time.
10. You're there for a reason and it will work out. You are enough.
11. You may not be the smartest person in the room, but everyone has something to bring to the table. Find out what sets you apart.
12. Getting an A might be the goal, but it's not all that matters. You'll win some and lose some... just don't let one bad grade make you give up!
13. You will inevitably have to work on a group project. Make the best of it.
14. Get to know your professors early on in the semester and make a couple friends in each class. That way, you always have someone to go over the material with.
15. Take advantage of all the resources that your tuition pays for. It may seem like a great option to procrastinate, but it probably isn't.
16. Enjoy it. All of it.
