Well, it’s official folks; I am a junior in college and will
be starting the nursing school next fall.
My sophomore year at TCU is over and I am glad I have two and a half
more years at this wonderful place. I am thankful for TCU and all the people I
have met. Here are some things I learned my sophomore year:
1.
I can always count on the BLUU having salad and
my chicken being a little under cooked.
2.
Always accept lunch invites. You never know what
friendships may come from it. In return, do not be afraid to ask others. The
likeliness they will say no is slim because everyone likes food.
3.
Having your room at 60 degrees is socially
unacceptable, but do it if it makes you happy.
4.
A school that brings you bunnies and puppies to
play with is the school that you want to be at.
5.
On any given day there is free food to be found
on campus. If you are in Honors your odds will increase greatly.
6.
If you have the opportunity to go on a spring
break trip with a professor and your classmates, do it. Chi town forever. #CMSB
7.
Growing up is weird.
8.
Take responsibility for your actions.
9.
Reading over 20 books in one semester will
change how you think about the world.
10. Directories
can come in handy even in our tech savvy world. Hold on to them.
11. Don’t
be embarrassed if you legitimately feel proud to see an alumnus at the grocery
store, gym or mall because you know you both love TCU.
12. An
on campus job can be the best part of your week.
13. Sprinkles
closes at 9. It takes 30 minutes to get there.
14. We
are given what He knows we can handle even though at the time it seems too much
to bear.
15. Sometimes
you just have to call your mama multiple times in one day.
16. People’s
perceptions of you are completely different than what you believe of yourself.
First and foremost, be content with who you are.
17. The
first floor of Reed smells weird. Milton is a Hilton. Starbucks is the best
place to study and walking from one end of the campus to the other takes less
than 10 minutes.
18. When
you pass someone walking to class and they ask, “how you are doing?” say
something other than “Good, just busy.” None of us are too busy for what we
should truly be investing our time in.
19. You
can find one of your best friends through your sorority.
20. If it’s a game day and the football game
doesn’t start until 6, you are still not getting any work done that day. Plan
accordingly.
