1) Graduate without any experience in your field – I’m not talking about your major, I’m talking about what you want to do when you graduate. If you haven’t started doing something that builds you real, professional experience, you should be.
2) Spend all your time you’re not in class in your room or your apartment or at work – simple enough
3) Don’t get involved in any clubs – If you were to pick a club or other interest, you might pick something that sounds fun to you or something that has been of interest to you. You’re a science major, but with a club you might be able to dabble in student government, photography or fashion. You might end up finding a passion or a new career instead of just sticking to the path you picked out at 18 when they asked for your major. You don’t want to do that if you’re wasting your college experience!
4) Watch as much TV as possible, by yourself if possible – TV is a time sink. Watching TV with friends is at least a social activity, but the sound of TVs all the way down the hall means that no socializing is going on. Moreover, no anything is going on. At least with Facebook there is SOME social aspect or even with W.O.W, but with TV there is none. While we’re talking about that…
5) Only hang out with people you knew in high school – Stepping out of that high school group and becoming your “adult” self can be one of the best things about college. You really have the opportunity to redefine yourself and to grow and experience many new people.
6) Be REALLY worried about every mistake you make – listen, you’re approximately 20 years old. You have a LONG life ahead of you. Avoid epic problems (credit card debt, driving drunk, pregnancy, life threatening illness, arrest) and there’s really not much that you can’t recover from. Getting a B on a test will not ruin your life, missing out on some of the most valuable experiences of your life will.
7) Be in a huge hurry to get out of school – Adulthood will rock you so much more than you realize. Life completely changes in the blink of an eye after school. Cherish the moments you have while they’re here and the next step will be there when it’s time.
