Away you go

Are you at school yet? I know that UNCW's classes start soon, so I got to thinking about you all and that you will officially be college students so soon!

So, if I could go back and give my college freshman self some advice from my 30 year old self, here's what I would say:

1. Don't skip class. Ever. College is really expensive. You're paying for education, not sleeping.

2. All nighters (drinking, studying, eating, whatever) are WAY overrated.

3. Get involved in more campus activities. You'll meet a wider variety of people and will have fun experiences.

4. Study abroad. Just for a semester. You will be fine.

5. Ditch the people who are negative influences on you.

6. Call mom and dad more. They worry.

7. Take more classes outside of you major. Anti-social behavior and its consequences sounds pretty interesting!

8. Friends are people who care about you and respect your decisions. Find them. Lose others.

9. Volunteer in your local community.

10. Be yourself but be willing to know that change can be a good thing.


GOOD LUCK!! Come back and visit me when you are on break and you can make fun of my new AP kids reading The Awakening! :)

If you (for some sadistic reason) want to keep up with my AP class for this year, the blog is
