I just completed my third year of college and it was my toughest year yet. To say the least, I learned work-life balance and how to say no. I am excited and happy to tackle my senior year in the fall, but for now take notes on what I've learned along the way to becoming a college senior at Mizzou!
1. Don't sweat the small stuff.
It is important to take care of who and what are important to you. Life isn't always going to be easy or fun, but never lose sight of the bigger picture. You have 4 to 5 years to enjoy college before you start your full-time work load and climb up the corporate ladder. Relax and enjoy the journey. Stop sweating every little thing that goes wrong. Sometimes when you hear "No," it is because God has something greater for you!
2. Let your hair down and go out with your friends!
Make time for a social life. When college ends you want to look back with excitement and have countless memories with your lifelong friends. You do not want to look back and wish you would have met more people or came out of your shell. This one was tough for me to grasp but I am working on it. I try to get out once or twice a month with my girls. Engaging in friendships and healthy relationships makes college so much more enjoyable!
