Your journey in college is unlike any others'. The experience as a whole provides you with the wisdom to start your life outside of school, as well as, mold you into the person you grow to become by the end of your journey. Every lesson learned whether it be in math or friendship develops your character and designs the path to your end goal.
Here are a few quotes that do a good job of highlighting some of the lessons most students will learn during their college days.
1. “College is a refuge from hasty judgment." –Robert Frost
2. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.” - Dr. Seuss, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
3. “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” – Mark Twain
4. “College inspired me to think differently. It’s like no other time of your life.” –Larisa Oleynik
5. “Believe it or not, lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college.” - Danica McKellar
6. “Months are different in college, especially freshman year. Too much happens. Every freshman month equals six regular months- they’re like dog months.” –Rainbow Rowell, "Fangirl"
7. “I am kind of majoring in bull shitting.” – Kate Voegele
8. “There’s always time and place for everything, it’s called college.” – Manoj Hande
9. “No one told me you can love someone and still be miserable. How is that possible?” – Krista Ritchie
10. “You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You’ll never remember class time, but you’ll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don’t have. Drink ’til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does.” - Tom Petty
