After 3 years of college, I can honestly say the most important things that I learned were not taught to me by a professor and not read in a book. The most important things I have learned have been from my peers and experiences outside a classroom setting and in my eyes are much more valuable than anything that can be taught while sitting at a desk.
- You learn who your true friends are when you're struggling, not when you're partying.
- You can love someone more than words can express, but hate them at the same time.
- There are people who truly have no redeemable qualities. They are not worth having in your life.
- Some people you can only tolerate when you're drunk.
- You become the people with whom you surround yourself. Choose friends based on the qualities you want to ascertain.
- Even when they move thousands of miles away, your true friends will always be there for you.
- Everyone has their own set of challenges and struggles, no one is perfect.
- It is important to stand up for yourself, but pick your battles.
- Family is the most important thing in life.
- Family is not only the people with whom you share blood. You can choose who you want it to be.
- Life is fragile. You never know who will still be here tomorrow, so never withhold affection for those you love.
- Sometimes those who care the most are the most overbearing and hard to handle.
- People with disabilities or other obstacles are often times the people who have the brightest outlook on life.
- There is so much more good than bad in the world.
- The world is only as scary a place as you let it be. Confidence will take you far.
- You are stronger than you know. Hardship brings it out fast.
- Sometimes, it is okay to breakdown just make sure it's in front of the right people.
- Hate is an emotion not worth having, replace it with indifference.
- Resolve differences early and privately, don't let them fester.
- The world is a small place. Be slow to burn bridges.
