Some advice, college is an experience YOU make it to be. Its not like high school when things are kinda just thrown at you, your actual going to have to make the effort to make your experience worthwhile. Join and invest yourself in clubs/organizations. Build good relationships with professors. Join study groups and follow event pages on socials then just go to them.

I have to pay for college, so in my mind, I’m not only paying for the material that I’m learning, I’m also paying for the connections that I’ll make. College itself is an experience, if you finish your classes and go back home or to your dorm and don’t do anything you won’t have a fun experience. However, if you make friends, instead of going back to your dorm or to your house, you can hangout with them instead.

My major is actually enjoyable. I finally swapped it, and I actually love my classes. I can’t say I have many friends yet but knowing that I’m doing something I love rather than sitting in classes I hate is nice

This is the only time in most people’s lives where we will live in a walkable community amongst thousands of people in our age range. I try and focus on the things that I will never get to experience again once I graduate.

life is all about learning, finding the joy in learning something new can bring joys into your life you never knew you could have. imagine the look on your friends faces when you surprise them with a fun fact they didnt know! imagine how many more people they would tell and would know that cool fact! hell, maybe its a fact that helps others, and by news spreading, it creates a chain of positive change in the world. keep learning, keep growing, its what we are born to do and endlessly do!

idk i guess it was always a dream. i came from a super broke household, dad worked factory my whole life, and mom had little jobs. im forever grateful to them, but i want to do better. i’m the first person in my family to go to college, and i made the deans list last semester with a 4.0 GPA. i’m proving to myself that im worth more, and can do better than i had.

I love that each class has a new girl you can talk too.

i really enjoy the academic aspect. learning and watching things you love come together is really fun. i’ve had friends come and go, and meeting people with similar interests is wonderful

Some people go to college to have fun and meet people. Others go to study hard and get a degree. There can definitely be a middle ground, but sometimes lifes not a party for everyone. Its also alright to just go to college and get a degree without the added pressure of feeling like youre not having enough fun

Didn’t care for college but glad its over but find some ways to make the best outta it you’ll never meet more people your age in one place.

I enjoyed my major. The classes were fun and I learned a lot. I grew closer to my classmates (small program size) and professors. I had a small group of friends I went out and did fun stuff with like hiking, rock climbing, etc.

Not saying this is always the case, but transferring helped me truly love school again. I retired from D1 Running and suddenly moved just a semester ago to a new uni and I LOVE IT! To me, it just didn’t have jobs, social settings, or living that I “imagined” so I simply went somewhere that did :,)
