The article linked above describes many ways that college students grow during all of the situations and challenges they face when they are away from home. Everyone wants to continue to better themselves and I think we all can relate to things Rita Landino talks about in the article Growth and Changes Through the College Years. Personally, I have learned a lot since my freshman year of college, not just educationally but emotionally and spiritually. There are still so many experiences waiting for me and things I still don’t know or mastered. In this post I want to get real and just talk about what my college experiences have taught me and things I wish I knew before college and even now.
What I've Learned
- Sometimes you think you know who you are but you really don't. In college you might learn new things about yourself everyday.
- Time management is crucial to success.
- Procrastination will only hurt you in the long run, so don't form that habit.
- Planning out your days makes for a better, more productive day.
- It's okay to take time to yourself to recharge and reorganize your priorities.
- Confide in those you trust because many people have either gone through what you are going through or can be a great listener.
- Stressing shows that you care about your education and future, but it is important to relax and still do fun things for yourself from time to time.
What I wish I Knew
- I wish I knew where I'll be in about 2 years.
- I wish I knew about the challenges and hardships the College of Education at PVAMU was enduring in my freshman year of college.
- I wish I knew where my teaching degree will take me in the future.
- I wish I knew what challenges lie ahead.
- I wish I knew how to speak my mind and be more open and outgoing.
- I wish I knew who will have a impact on me and my future.
- I wish I knew what to expect in the near future.
