Experience is the one thing in life you always get after you need it....

A few years ago, I started college at Auburn and was so excited and energetic. I anticipated all of the experiences I would have throughout my college years. Today I have just celebrated my first fall semester away from school. It's weird to not pack up my bag and head off with a list of classes for the day. In celebration of my post-college life, I thought I would impart some knowledge on our Rainmakers who still have that coveted first day of class!
These are the things I know now...that I wish I would’ve known then!
- DO finish your homework
- DON’T spend every waking hour in the library, just the time needed.
- Go on trips with your friends, college is the one time in your life when you can do whatever you want whenever you want. You are only responsible for yourself.
- Ask questions in your classes. Your teacher will start to like you, even more.
- Explore and Enjoy. You don’t have to decide on a major your first day of school.
- STUDY ABROAD. Do it. More than once! No questions asked.
- Volunteer and become involved on campus! It will help you figure out what you like and you will make lots of friends.
- It will go by too fast!
- Important: study something that you love!
- You can learn something from everyone you meet!
- You shouldn’t wait until all your clothes are dirty to do your laundry
- You don’t have to be best friends with your roommate
- You will make friends every year, some are fair weather and others are life long, its ok to move on. You change and so do they.
- Be Safe and Have fun!
