College Life: things I learned from college but not in class.

I have learned many things in college so far, and this being the end of the semester I thought I might would share.
1) College is NOT for everyone!  Despite what teachers and others say, you do not have to go to college to get a good job, I think I should say career.  Its work ethics that count.
2) Work ethic along with encouragement is needed.  You must be a self starter, finals have just recently taught me that!
3) You cannot do it alone!  You must have friends who have been there, are there, and have yet to go there.  All the perspectives are needed so you know where you are going, where you are, and where you have been.
4) Things get put into perspective, fast.  Once you enter college, you realize what is important.  Family, friends, and God.  Those who move off for college (not me) know what it is like to not have parents there, you begin to miss mom's nagging and daddy's hugs.  After you graduate and your normal friends aren't around, you learn who your real ones are.  You know the ones you don't 'have' to text/chat first.  Finally you see how much the world needs God!  I did not think I would see it that bad in a really small community college, but I do!
5) You find yourself a bit more.  Once you graduate high school you realize, contrary to former belief, you have no clue who you are, but once you are made to have you own opinion you realize it a bit more.
6) You realize how much responsibility sucks.  In high school we beg for independence, once your in college you get a big taste of it.  Getting to make yourself wake up at 6:00 am to go drive thirty-five min. and mom not making you...not fun.  Also those breaks in between classes where you just want to go home/dorm/apartment but know if you do you won't come back, that happens!
7) You realize how much friends mean to you.  My first few weeks, ran into months, I didn't really have friends.  I felt I was to good for them.  Completely wrong!  My first few weeks were spent at the playground next to school texting friends from high school and boyfriend. These people will not be around for ever, maybe not even long!  (see previous post about bf.)
8) You must make new friends!  You never realize what these friend can do for you. Most are willing to help you out with school work.  Its also nice to have someone to vent to about the teacher they also hate.
9) Teachers are crazier! I honestly believe some of these teachers are insane.  They will be evil in class but once out they are really cool--term used loosely--people.  Get to know them, they are willing to help you!
Finally
10) PRAY and ask people to pray for you!  I have never been the type to ask for prayer, but lately I have really needed it!  and I can honestly tell people are praying for me!  Thing seem easier!
I really hope this helps who ever reads!  :-)
