Default Re: Advice for college

I can best reply to this by telling you what I regret about my college experience.

1) I didn't allow myself to make enough new friends. I constantly hung out with my old friends from home. I grew up and many of them didn't, and now I don't have as many cherishable memories as many of my classmates.

2) Stay single as long as possible. There are just too many good times to be had to be in a serious relationship.

3) Grades are important, but not as much as building a well-rounded resume. Get involved on campus and in the community.

4) Major in something that you truly enjoy. If you hate what you study in college, you will most likely hate the job that you get when you get out.

5) Live on campus for at least your first two years.

6) Get to be friends with at least a couple of your professors. Many of them are really interesting people and can help pull strings for you when you get out.

7) Don't be "too cool" for anything. If it interests you, check it out.

8) Study and party equally hard.

9) Don't buy books at the bookstore, they can all be found online.

10) Stay in shape. You will have access to a gym for free on for a marginal fee. Take advantage of it.
