Everything I Learned During Freshman Year

1. Everyone has different priorities. It's important to decide on mine and be firm.
2. Hauling it to the nutrition building in ten minutes every day takes some serious stamina.
3. If people talk about you, whatever. Keep standing up for what you know is right.
4. When you have a bad day, it's okay to stop and get hot chocolate at the library. Take care of yourself.
5. Things don't always work out the way you think they will, but that's part of the excitement of life.
6. Patience. Sometimes your roommates want to build a blanket fort that takes up the entire living room and makes it impossible for you to get to the stairs and kitchen.
7. All people want is empathy sometimes.
8. You need to decide who is genuinely on your side and who is not.
9. Take things one day at a time and don't worry about what you cannot do at the moment.
10. It's all about perspective. Maybe I can't understand where someone is coming from, but I can appreciate their view and cumulative experiences.
