You Should Have Done This...

Here are five things that I would love to go back in time and tell myself after ending my first semester of freshman year. 

1. Don't let your friends get in your way. Remember that your friends have completely different majors and don't know how hard you have to work. 
2. The "Freshman 15" is real. You really don't need that venti skinny iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks everyday. Go order a green tea instead. Don't forget to workout at night either. 
3. It's okay to wear leggings to class. You rock your basic white girl flannel and leggings with riding boots and a puffer vest. It's okay to look alike. Wear what makes you comfortable. 
4. Take advantage of the library. Studying in the quiet means that you'll get more done. Just make sure to get some coffee from Starbucks beforehand because the Cyber Cafe has horrible coffee. 
5. Study, study, study. Devote time to all classes and if you don't understand it, go talk to a professor, AI, or UTA. 

Also, in case you need motivation:  

Merry Christmas Break everyone!
