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 decision, 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 expect.
• 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 many 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!
