24 Ways How You Can Just Be You in College
Sebastian Voortman

Young, wild and free. You are in college. You are discovering the world through your own perceptive and experiences. You can be anyone you want in this world. There's no one better than being you. I have been collecting advice from everyone around me on how to be the best me. Here's my advice to unveil the happiest, truest and best you.

1. Send that text.

2. Cut out the toxic people.

3. Try new foods.

4. Keep a journal.

5. Take up a new hobby. (Photography, painting, cooking, hiking, writing, etc.)

6. Talk to people in your major.

7. Email someone in your area that has your dream job. Ask them to grab coffee sometime.

8. Don't let little things ruin your day.

9. Call your parents or grandparents often.

10. Take long walks around campus.

11. Enjoy a sunset or sunrise.

12. Drink lots of water. Add a lemon slice sometimes.

13. Have "me time" to relax just by yourself.

14. Unplug from social media for a few days.

15. Explore the local area around campus.

16. Decorate your room with just things that make you happy.

17. Speak up for what you believe in.

18. Dress nicely at least once a week. (The rest of the week can be sweats)

19. Write three things are you grateful for every day.

20. Take the free cookie they are handing out. Life is too short to refuse cookies.

21. Organize your closet and drawers.

22. Watch old movies.

23. Stay up until 5 A.M. talking to your close friends. That's when the real feelings come out.

24. Just be yourself.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
