Wow, I can’t believe I’m through two quarters as a college student already! Spring break has passed, not even one full quarter left, and then summer. Since I’ve been at college for awhile now, I thought it would be a cool idea to do one “lesson” type thing that I’ve learned for each week. Since quarters are 10 weeks, that amounts to the nice, round number of 20. So, without further ado, here they are!

20. You’ll Grow More Than You Ever Thought You Would
I’m sure I’ll continue to find little things that I’ve learned throughout this year! It definitely has gone by way faster than I thought it would! If you have any other tips that you wish you would have known at the start of college, feel free to leave them below!
