So it's your sophomore year now.... how was your freshmen year?? Was it as bad as you thought it was going to be? Do you know regret taking those 8am classes that you thought you could do??
Well I wish I could tell you that it gets easier from here but.......it only gets harder. I'm sorry but someone has to tell you and it is gonna be me! Your freshmen year is all about figuring college out and adjusting to the new environment. Now that it is your second year, you should be pretty much adjusted by now...well hopefully. And there is NO TURNING BACK NOW!
My Sophomore Year
Here are somethings that I learned during my sophomore year.
I started to realize that high school friends might not stick around with you while you go through college. I had some friends go to different colleges, some friends go on missions, and some friends stay home. You will lose connections with maybe some of your best friends... It's sad but its all a part of growing I guess.
1. If you don't have a job. GET ONE!
I didn't have a job my freshmen year and it was fine i guess...but looking back on it I wish I did. I got job the summer after freshmen year. Guess what?! I still work at the same place today. Going to school in very small city that was populated by mainly college students, it was difficult to find a job quickly. I suggest looking sooner than later. Apply everywhere, especially if you're going to school in a college town I like do. Get a job. Ramen gets gross after awhile.
2. Have an idea of what you are studying.
This varies with a lot of people. Some people know exactly what they want to study and they know exactly what they are gonna do with their lives. Those people must be immortal gods because NO ON KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING. You should have a little bit of an idea of what you want to study. And if you still don't know, maybe take classes that are just interesting to you. You never know....you might find your passion!
3. Hopefully you found your group
What I mean by this is....I hope you have found your friend group in college. Do, find a close friend group. Some of the friends I made my sophomore year of college are still some of my best friends today! Don't worry if you are reading this and you feel like you still haven't found "your people"....they will come around soon!
That is all for today! Come back next week on Part 2 of my sophomore year!
