I 've been thinking a lot about unconventional/non-academic things That I 've learned since I started my college career. I came up with some interesting things, and I thought I 'd share.
- Happiness is a demo-,not a reaction.
- Experiences are worth more than material things.
- The importance of family and friends
- Every day I strive towards becoming better
- If I neglect fitness and nutrition, I will surely pay the consequences.
- TV and the Internet are the biggest wasters of time.
- Sometimes I need to just stop and smell the roses.
- Study time doesn' t begin 30 minutes before the test.
- Home cooked meals taste a lot better than I remembered as a child.
- College requires time management more than it requires intellect.
- There will be extremists from every lifestyle, but the key is in finding balance.
- I'm the only person who thinks spending Friday night in the gym is cool.
- Professors are more accommodating than we are programmed to exact CT.
- Sitting in the front of the class automatically makes me a better student.
- The only one who really cares about my college success is me.
- Presentations aren't about figures or statistics, they are about getting other people interested.
- There are always different ways to study, and sometimes I just need to try something new.
- Art has become an integral part of my life; graphic design, photography, guitar, singing, film, writing, and any other form of expression I can learn.
- Money budgeting.
- Figuring out what to do when the budget didn't account for everything...
- Get out and do things during breaks. Once I'm deep into the semester all I can think about is fun things I' ve done/will do.
- Take classes outside of my major, just for fun.
- Sleep is definitely underrated.
- Smile all the time, say hi to everyone I know.
- Be the friend who is always there for someone.
- Always make time for exercise.
- Live beneath my means.
- Take it all in. Sooner or later it will all be gone, and that's when I'm going to want to remember.
That's it for now. Have a great day everyone!
