How to Survive Your First Year of College

I like many others who just graduated high school couldn't wait to go to college and start over. I was very excited and confident that everything would be perfect. It wasn't until all my friends were gone and I realized that I was going into college completely alone that I started to worry. I am now in the 3rd year of college and am having the time of my life, these are three reasons why.

Step One:

Find friends. Most colleges have an initiation week or orientation. Even though it might seem lame to go through orientation, this is where I met most of my best friends that I have now. Having great friends is what definitely makes a college experience the best experience of your life. No one likes being alone, so get out there, join a sports team or club, and meet people.

Step Two:

Balance is key in surviving your first year of college. A lot of people who first jump straight into college after living at home with their parents tend to go a little crazy with the freedom that has just been given to them. Make sure you have a solid list of priorities, I don't mean to sound like a parent but make sure school comes first before going out and partying.

Step Three:

Do something crazy. Many people assume that if you go to college your going to go out and drink every night, date around, and fail all your classes. This is not the case, doing something crazy just means going outside your comfort zone. This could be anything from joining a sports team, a band, making a club, or throwing a poker party for your school. Hope this helps!
