What Did You Get Out Of Your College Experience?

[Azriel]

Undergrad:
1. You don't have to go far from home to get a good education
2. You don't have to have Dr. in front of your name to be a great professor
3. Ramen is the key to all nutritional needs
4. Don't try to get married the semester before you graduate

Grad:
5. Be sure you know what area you really want to study before you pay the bill

Undergrad: I learned that I'd rather be a failure than a wimp. Life without risk is boring. It's okay to attempt things that seem terrifying. No one else cares or remembers if I make a fool of myself, so why should I? I should listen to people who believe in me & encourage me; the negative people can go fly a kite.

Grad school: It's not just okay to say no, it's a good thing. The world will not fall apart if I refuse to take up someone else's slack. I should eat when I can, sleep when I can, & have enough clean underwear to last an entire month. There are pathological liars in the world, they really don't care who they hurt or how much damage they cause.

This. Lots and lots of this. And a realization that I don't want to be a physical therapist. Unfortunately, that came in the last semester of PT school...
