Friend ship is sharing

“Hey buddy, wazzup?” is one question that constantly keeps popping up – be it on phone, Internet chat or short messages. One fine day, I wake up and ask myself how do I define friendship? I never thought it would be difficult, especially with a plethora of quotations at disposal. My favourite definition has always been, ‘Friendship is sharing.’

Make Informed, Honest Choices and Enjoy the Consequences

There will undoubtedly be a lot of people giving you advice about what you should do during – and after – college. And while you may be in school to learn, you will, at some point, have to draw your own line in the sand. Pick a career and course of study that suits you, not your parents. Pay attention to the fire in your belly and learn what you’re truly passionate about. Make sure you’re happy at your school. And once you’ve made a choice, feel confident in your decision and do all you can to learn from the resources around you.

Keep Balanced

College can be overwhelming. And while you’re focused on doing well academically, there can be multiple parts of your life that are keeping you from doing so. Marinating a healthy, balanced life in school is challenging but important. Make sure to let yourself de-stress when you need it. Keep the things in your schedule that keep you healthy, whether it be going to the gym or going to religious services on a regular basis. Do what you can to keep your relationships healthy. In essence: take care of all of yourself, not just that big brain of yours.
