Alright so I’m not going to lie, I’m not that great at
giving advice. So when it came time for
me to post an entry about coming to PSU I really had no clue, it seemed all the
good topics were gone. So I looked back
over this past year and tried to think of something to tell you. And the truth is, part of college is learning
how to master college. So I figured I
would give you a few quotes or blurbs that helped me get through my first
year. Hopefully you don’t find them too
cliché. Also a disclaimer I don’t know
exactly where all of them came from but I’ll put credit to the ones I know.
Also some are just from personal experience.
Here we go:
- · Don’t be afraid to go to the creamery after an exam. Sometimes you’ll really need it, for good and bad.
- · If you’re overloaded with stress go to the arboretum, run there walk there or whatever. Just go relax.
- · The most important equation other than ΣF=ma is mind/matter.
- · Choose your dining hall chicken carefully.
- · There’s a time and place for everything, that’s college.
- · Google. Chegg. Yahoo Answers.
- · It’s always a good day to have a good day
- · Heaters have two settings: off and raging inferno
- · Go out and make things happen, they don’t always just happen to you
- · If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. – Milton Berle
- · Yes, take that 10 minute nap
- · Drink some coffee (or tea) and pretend you know what you’re doing.
- · Do this for you first, then others.
- · “I haven’t started either” can be the most comforting words to hear.
- · Do all of the extra credit you can
- · It’s “try me” not “why me”
- · Be a pineapple: stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside.
- · Collect moments, not just things.
- · Focus on the good
- · You’re allowed to scream and cry but not give up.
- · Push yourself harder than you ever thought you could. – Dr. Cindy Parsons
So hopefully some of those help you
out. Good Luck!
