In two years, you can change your love for sports teams, in two years, you can change your friend group, and in two years, you can change completely and become a different person. Is that something I'm mad about or wish I could change?

Of course, not. Because it's made me the person I am today.

The strong, mature, and independent person I am today.

My freshmen year self would be looking at my junior year self in awe. Not expecting to see who I have become.

If I could go back and change a few things from freshmen year it would be, to go to that party on a Wednesday when you have a chance, eat the gross dining hall food so you can later on tell your kids how gross it is, and spend all the time with your roommates as you possibly can, because they're going to shape how the rest of your college career is going to go.

Flash forward two years to present day and I am a junior, who goes out to bars maybe once a month. I've gone from a party girl to a couch potato pretty quickly.

Going to do the things you think you'll miss out on makes good stories and honestly there always time later for homework, you can't relive a party or event.

Everybody says college goes by within a blink of an eye and they're right. You walk into your freshmen dorm one day and wake up the next day and you're walking across the stage going to graduation.

College is an experience and you can't describe it unless you've experienced it yourself, being able to tell and compare those stories of the party you went to on a Wednesday while skipping your 8 a.m. on a Thursday.
