The Short List

Everyone has a list of the things they learned in college. This is the short list of things I learned in my years at college.

Freshman Year--If you eat a lot and don't exercise you'll gain weight. The freshman 15 is not the maximum. I gained 25 pounds.

It's healthy to keep contact with friends from home, but healthier to start a life wherever you physically are.

Sophomore Year--Odds are if you don't go to class, you'll fail. Don't take a class like Calculus when you're not that great at math and the only real reason you're doing it is to prove that you can do it better than your ex. (Odds are you'll fail that too.)

Just because opposites attract doesn't mean that's all you need.

Study something that you actually like.

Junior Year--Prerequisite classes exist for a reason. Yes it's a hoop to jump through, but if you jump through the advanced hoop and then go through the easier hoop, life will be miserable (or people will think you are a God for being brilliant in that class).

Getting to know teachers is a very, very, very, very, very, helpful thing to do.

Senior Year--I'm still in the process of living it. Ha.
