When you graduate from high school everyone has an opinion or some words of wisdom. For some of reason everyone thinks they know the secret. Teachers, family, friends, everyone has their two cents that we absolutely have to hear. I've been told it all from 'stay safe' to 'enjoy the moment' to 'study hard'. Its hard to see whats right and whose just talking for the sake of talking. I'm quite the individual so anyone that gives me advice really has to know me. I don't need to be told how to cherish the moment and I don't need anyone looking over my shoulder pushing me to do my work. I have impeccable balance, and I don't mean that in a cocky way. My parents are polar opposites as are my sisters so I think that helps me know when its time to worry and when its time to savor the time I have here. I know I make it seem like I think I'm perfect but that's not the case. If I applied myself I could have straight A's but I've become comfortable with average. Maybe I enjoy the fun side of college a little too much but if I had one piece of advice to give to my peers its to enjoy every second of every moment. 30 years from now we'll all be sitting in out living rooms with out 3 kids and white picket fence looking forward to the PTA meeting next Tuesday and we'll wish we had back the Monday morning 8 AM lecture. These are without a doubt the best years of our lives and maybe its hard to see that now but we will always have these memories. Not necessarily of the Friday nights at the club but the Monday nights spent in the sixth floor lobby sharing a pizza listening to Taylor Swift and swapping stories about our awkward middle school days. That's what I'll cherish, that's what we all need to learn to enjoy to have a successful college experience, all the small things.
