Class of 2020. It is finally August and you will be moving to school very soon. Some of you may be nervous. Some may be counting down the days until you can finally leave your home. College is going to be a great experience.

Here is some advice I have for the upcoming freshman.

1. The friends you come to school with may not be your friends when the year is over.

A lot of the upperclassmen told me this, but I didn't believe them. I thought that the squad I met first semester was going to be my future bridesmaids and homegirls for life.

As you begin to grow into your own, you may realize you will grow apart from friends you originally had met. And that is perfectly OK.

2. You may not find your future husband/wife.

Please don't come to college with the mindset you're going to find your soulmate because the majority of the student body just wants to have sex with no strings attached. Of course, not everybody is like that, but most 18-year-olds don't have the intension of having a long-term relationship. Many times people have the mindset that they're going to find "the one" once they step foot on campus and become highly disappointed when that does not happen. So chill out and enjoy being by yourself. If you happen to find a special someone, then you're one blessed cookie.

3. Trust me, you're not the only virgin on campus.

Since we're on the topic of relationships, don't be pressured to do anything just because other people are. It is going to seem like every single human on campus is having all types of wild, crazy sex, but believe me you're not alone. Don't let anyone make you feel some type of way because you haven't had sex and don't feel obligated to just because you are now in college. Go at your own pace. If and when you decide to have sex, please, please, please be safe because pregnancy is not the worst thing that can happen. STDs are a real thing as well.

4. Play hard but study harder.

It is OK to have fun and go to a party every now and then. Just remember that at the end of the day, you are in school, paying thousands of dollars to get an education. Don't get caught up in the kickbacks and frat parties. Honestly, all parties are the same and there is a party every weekend. Every. Single. Weekend. So, get that 4.0 GPA and go to that party after you finish all your homework, and don't have a 8 a.m. class the next morning.

5. Enjoy and cherish every single moment.

These are going to be the best four years of your life. Enjoy it. Don't wish your life away. Join the club you were scared of joining. Try out for the dance team. Talk to that cute boy in your seminar class. Have a relationship with your professors. Have sleepovers in your friends' dorms. Cherish all the little things. Don't wish your life away because before you know it, it's going to be May 2020 and you're going to be walking across the stage to receive your bachelor's degree, and you'e gonna wonder where the time went. So enjoy the roller coaster and all its ups, downs, twists and turns. It's going to be an amazing journey.
