Often times before you start your first semester of college, you 'll start seeing articles on random social media platforms that tell you all of the things you should NEVER do in college.

First, you 'll hear the "don 't skip class" speech a million times before you start your first semester. In the beginning, you 'll do well, going to class on time, never skipping, etc... But around midterms, if not before, you will slip at least one time. That 's not to say there is not some magical person with the will and strive to attend every boring lecture they signed up for, but we ALL slip up at least once. I am here to say, THIS IS OKAY.

I am saying you should make a conscious effort to focus on yourself rather than someone else.

Go on a few dates, but don 't get torn up over that one person who didn 't call you back, they aren 't worth it. You have to learn to love yourself before anyone else can truly love
