Just some stuff I've been thinking about for a while and wanted to write down before I got "too busy." Hopefully they can be applied to realistic situations besides just my self-centered life. ;)
Some (actually most) may be on the cliche side, but cliches exist because they're true, right?
Also, I'm not even sure if the word "lesson" is appropriate. Maybe just "thoughts"? Who knows.

Anyway:
1) Step out of your comfort zone right away (whatever that means to you.)
2) Comparing yourself to other people/situations won't get you anywhere. JUST DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. :)
3) Don't feel pressure to fit in with a certain type of group.
4) Just because other people say something is right or wrong doesn't mean you should believe them.
5) Don't stress about majors or careers. Just do what you like and things will likely fall into place.
6) Try to keep up with stuff you enjoyed in high school.
7) Mistakes really are learning experiences.
8) Don't ever hide what you're feeling.
9) People who really care about you will support you no matter what stupid stuff you do.
10) It's really pointless to judge people you don't know.
11) You'll never let go of something if you keep reinforcing it.
12) It's really hard to define what it means to be a "nice" person.
13) Though actions don't always speak louder than words, they really should.
14) Don't regret anything! Things happen, whether they are good or bad, but in the end everything will have a reason. (At least that's what I like to think.)
15) Getting a C is not that big of a deal.
16) As difficult as it is, try to "be the bigger person."
17) Take advantage of those 10 minute walks to class where you can just listen to music and be in your own world.
18) You should never have to prove your worth to anyone.
19) Don't blame yourself; everything that happens is a result of many factors.
20) No one is perfect.
21) Trust your family and friends' advice. Sometimes they know what's best for you more than you do.
22) Don't let people patronize you about what God wants from you.
23) If you want to keep in touch with your high school friends, make the effort.
24) Buy a reliable umbrella, not the cute one for $5.

25) There are a lot of changes. You change, your friends change, ideals change. But I think those changes aren't necessarily bad, and they're important. If you don't experience change, how will you ever grow? Just saying. :)
...And that's about it. Just my opinions. :)

Great post Emma, very mature and insightful! Share with Valerie :-) I presume you will learn even more lessons during your second year of college.
