Here are a few things I've learned as a freshman at BYU:
(some of these things I claimed to have learned in high school, apparently they needed some re-learning.)
You’re never doing as bad as you think you are. Yes, even when you average 50% on Psych exams- curve, baby, curve.
If you have to choose between going to calculus lecture and seeing MARK ZUCKERBERG. Go see Zuckerberg.
Do things that are fun. Even if you’re busy. Too much homework is an excuse that is WAY overused.
Care about your classes, and they will care about you.
Be social in your ward. Truth is they’re most likely AWESOME.
Never be afraid to ask for help (specifically, never be afraid to ask your home teachers for a Priesthood blessing, that’s what they’re there for).
People care about you more than you think.
(MOST) professors are really nice, and genuinely care about you. For the ones who aren’t, don’t let them get you down; they are the exception.
Live NOW, don’t get stuck in the past.
Don’t underestimate yourself. You may just end up scoring the winning point in ultimate frisbee. True story.
Never be too proud to drop a class if you can’t handle it.
TA’s are most definitely absolutely RADiculous
Dance like no one is watching, and sing at the top of your lungs- it's more fun that way.
Do things you've never done.
College is not as easy as you think it is.
College is not as hard as you think it is.
Love the life you live, and it will love you back.
TRISTA!!! You are my hero!!! I am so glad I read this!! haha you are hilarious and awesome!!
