What college has taught me!

For the past month or so I've been writing down what living in a co-ed college dorm has taught me about life.

There's so much that I want to say, but I can't quite come up with the words to say it. So here's what I can manage to scrounge up out of all of my feelings. <3

It's okay to be a virgin.

It's okay to not know everything about yourself.
It's perfectly fine to be the only one not drinking.

It's okay to be silly and roll down the hall corridor laughing like idiots.

It's more than okay to cry; in fact it's sometimes encouraged and helps more than anything.

9 months can really change a person.

Do NOT forget to keep in contact with your at home friends. They miss you just as much as you miss them.

The little quirks about you that you cried to hide through high school are what makes you you. 

Don't hide them! You'll realize how much you've been missing once you do!

You will push your limits and morals; but don't go past them.

Your life story is never as bad as someone else's. 

Always keep an open mind. You don't know who's listening.

You will never again take your own bathroom for granted. No matter how small it is!

You'll realize how much you love and miss your family when you don't see them every day.

No matter how big the fight was or how many harsh words were shared, by simply saying "I'm sorry" you can fix almost anything.

Again, this isn't very much wisdom that I can share, but it's what I learned. The people I've met in college have all made an impact on my life. Good or bad. No matter how excited you are to be rid of all of them at the end of the year, you'll miss the sounds and smells. You'll miss hearing people screaming and laughing as they run down the hall (although when they do it while you're studying, I can understand if you say you wont miss them. xD). You'll miss your roommate no matter how many issues you had between the two of you.

And most of all, the friends and memories you made in those 9 months will last forever. Keep in contact with them, you never know where they or you will end up.

I love you 2nd Gunn!
