Ways You Change Between High School Graduation and Starting College

10. You learn how to study. Most people don’t even know what studying is until they fail their first college exam and learn to get their $hit together real quick. It’s a wake up call for sure. 9. You learn that not everybody is a real friend. Your high school friends will turn out to be fake 99% of the time. It’s sad but it’s the truth. 8. You learn to disregard what others say/think of you. In college, everybody just does their own thing and focuses on themselves so they don’t really care what you’re doing anyways. 7. You learn how to be on your own. Being hours away from anyone who would take care of you makes you feel really alone sometimes. 6. You learn what it feels like to be an adult. Having a job and taking care of yourself for the first time is really an

What Your Extracurriculars Say About You

10. Anime/Pokemon club You probably don’t talk much to anybody else who’s not in anime club. Mainly because people don’t want you to. 9. Cheerleading/Dance Team You’re cute. Or at least you think you’re cute and you like having a “team” of people to be your friend. 8. Football/Basketball You’re really only in college because you wanted to play sports and now you’re getting a free tuition to do it. 7. Religious Groups You don’t engage in “typical” college activities and this is your way of making friends and avoiding trouble. 6. Frats/Sororities You were popular in high school and couldn’t stand the thought of not having friends in college so you decided to buy your way into a big group of friends.

What My First Semester at Mizzou Taught Me

10. Coffee is so important. Those late night study sessions just wouldn’t be possible without it. Neither would the 8 a.m. classes. 9. Having a roommate sucks. Sharing a small space with another person is pretty much the worst thing ever. 8. Rollins @ Night is a lifesaver. The nights where you’re up studying past dinner time, Rollins @ Night is always open until 1 a.m. for your late night brain food! 7. The library is good for so much more than checking out books. It’s an awesome place to study and escape the ever-present loud noises of a college campus. 6. Netflix is also so important. The weekends when you have nothing to do and can’t drive home, Netflix is your best friend. You can make a whole day fly by in what seems like a few hours!

14. “Are you f*****g kidding me?!” Pretty much how we all feel anytime a professor gives us a ridiculous assignment or doesn’t cancel class when our campus is buried in snow. 13. “We got food poisoning from your restaurant.” Accurate description of any trip to the dining hall. Not only is it nasty, but it ALWAYS messes up your stomach. 12. “I’m going to climb that like a tree.” Your thoughts when you see an attractive person and decide that it’s going down tonight. 11. “Oh, my God. My stomach hurts.” How we all feel when we’re heading into an exam that we know we’re not ready for. 10. “LESBIAN!” Living in on a floor and sharing a bathroom with a bunch of girls/guys makes you extremely paranoid about people being a little too friendly! 9. “What is happening?!” Pretty much our thoughts like 24/7. In any situation. 8. “I’m

Things We’re Going to Do Differently Next Semester

10. Study. Like actually study and not just watch Netflix and pretend we studied. Those tests were way harder than we thought they would be. 9. Use more resources. There’s so many ways to better your grade like tutors, libraries, study groups, etc. We should really use those more. 8. Talk to teachers. Ask questions and get to know them and what they’re looking for. Your grade will thank you. 7. Read. The reading assignments are given for a reason. Just read them. 6. Do homework. Yes it’s only worth five percent of your grade. Yes that five percent matters when you’re on the fence between a B and an A.
