The Biggest Lesson I Learned In College
In School people always keep telling you what to do.
Everyone tells you to just take the hardest classes, get the best grades, and you will “find out what you want” eventually.
They treat it as though it’s something you just stumble across and something that everybody finds.
But by the time you get to college, if you at least looked around a little bit, you will notice that that’s not true.
Almost no one knows what to do with their life and almost everyone just keeps dodging the responsibility.
They blame life, their circumstance, their past, their boss, their location, skills, parents and just about everything else.
They do all of this to brush the responsibility off of themselves.
Do not follow that path.
In college I tried to do everything just like everybody else.
I worked incredibly hard in high school, taking extra classes wherever I could and already had 3 Semesters worth of college credits before I even graduated.
I went above and beyond and did the same in college.
Taking the maximum amount of classes at the highest difficulty all so I could get ahead.
