I started college about a month ago and already have learned so much. But the valuable lessons I've been learning aren't necessarily from the classroom but from everything outside of it.
1. College teaches you how to think outside the box.
The assignments I have received in college do teach me about the material, but they also teach how to think creatively. College will challenge you to rethink what you believe.
2. You will learn how to live with other people.
Even if you don't live in a dorm, it's very likely you will have roommates at some point in college.
This will teach you how to understand others' personal situations, how to balance chores, and will help you make friends if that's something you struggle with.
3. You will quickly learn how to manage your time.
There is so much you have to do in college. Work, assignments, cleaning, spending tine with people, and managing your mental/physical health. College is a nice place to learn this because there are so many others learning how to do this as well, and many people who can help you.
4. College teaches perserverance.
There have been days I would've sold my soul to get an extra hour of sleep. But I still got up to go to class, because I knew missing class would make things way harder. When doing my school assignments I told myself if I just got it done now, I wouldn't have to worry about it later.
5. You will learn how to adapt to change.
I am a person who hates change. My first night I spent away from home (15 minutes away) was more difficult than I thought it would be. I had to follow a whole new schedule, and learn how to accept a different way of doing things.
