What I've Learned at WMU

Finishing up my junior year I'd consider myself a "pro" at the whole living at college, I'd thought I'd share my wealth of knowledge I've gained (outside of my classes of course!). 

In no particular order:

• Groceries can last a loooong time. It just makes you, as a cook, more creative. (for example: if you have no flour use oatmeal, Mexican ramen noodles with soy sauce don't taste as bad as they sound, and anything you can find a good coupon for is worth the drive)
• Always go to class--you're paying for it!
• Textbooks are overpriced anywhere you get them. 
• Naps are rare and far between. Plan them into the day if at all possible. 
• Staying up late working on something can become very unproductive. 
• Get involved. Groups are fun, friends are fun. Every single day of my pre-college educational career my mom used to tell us "Make friends, don't fight." 
• Family is the best support system so don't forget to call home.  
•  Friends become family. 
• You can train yourself to sleep through just about anything, just try not to sleep during class.
• College would be more fun without the classes. 
• Quarters are gold.
• College flies. HONESTLY. It seems like it's going to last forever and you blink and it's already senior year.

When you're in college some of the best things in life are care packages, free food events, and cancelled classes. College is a fun time and living independently gives lots of room for stupid mistakes that are [usually] easily forgiven. 

Don't forget: Make friends, don't fight!

I couldn't do it without my beautiful roommates!
