University is the perfect time to find, lose and reinvent yourself. It’s four years of your life where things are just beginning and you haven’t figured everything out. Classes and knowledge are not the only important things in college. It is also the turning point to abandon all the teenage uncertainties and transition to the well established, so called, maturity.This is the moment to discover your true love, hobbies you enjoy, the ideas and passions you didn’t know were within you.
If you were a rebel or a geek in High School, in College you have the opportunity to be someone else, someone you always wanted to be. Living new experiences and taking risks is an essential part of the development human process. You will create memories and receive life lessons that couldn’t be taught in any other place. In this life we all make mistakes and learn from them, which is a completely acceptable form of education.
