College is definitely a moment in our young lives that's full of grades and stress. But college is also a time of fun and adventure. Whether you are a freshman or a second year senior, there are still unexpected moments. And Rebel Wilson has some tremendous advice involving these crazy times.
1. No matter how long you have known your roommate, treat them with respect.
If you would not want it done to you...don't do it to them. They deserve respect and so do you. It is already hard living with a total stranger. So don't make things more difficult. Leave their stuff alone and, hopefully, they will do the same for you.
2. Even if it is only once a week, do some kind of exercise.
I don't exactly know if this exercise would do all that well, but at least she is trying. And sometimes having someone to do it with you is all the better.
3. "Free" will become your favorite word.
College is a time where money is tight and when you hear the word, "free," it excites you. Free t-shirt. Free food. These are the most common phrases you will hear.
4. Things will get tough, but sometimes you just need to make yourself laugh.
It's okay to be stressed out. It's okay to want to cry. But sometimes, it's not necessarily the place for it. So sometimes it is just easier to make yourself laugh in stressful situations.
5. It's OK to have a lazy day every now and then.
As long as it's not every day. It's okay to take time for yourself. Actually, it's almost necessary.
6. It's also okay to go out... Sometimes. Not always.
Sometimes, when you meet that special guy or girl, it is easy to get distracted. But just remember, you did not go to college to meet that person...you went to college to better yourself and get a degree. Just keep that in mind.
7. If you go out and have lazy days too often and forget about your grades, you will regret it.
If you constantly take lazy days or go out all the time, you will feel like you've been shot in the chest when you check and see you are failing.
8. There will be times when it seems like your professors are trying to kill you.
Sometimes it will feel like your professors are trying to kill you because they will all seem to schedule big projects and test dates on the same day. And sometimes you will just want to scream enough.
9. Always remember Fat Amy's best advice.
Stay with the right crowd. Don't overdo your partying. And whatever you do, stay drug free.
10. College will introduce you to a support system, and whatever you do, have a fat heart.
There will alway be a group who will support you. Often, it is the people who live on your floor. And most of the time no matter what is going on, the most fun you have will be spent with them. Whether it be studying, going out, or just being lazy. And whatever you do, hold onto them and love them.
