1. Get
involved
a. I
could have never imaged myself in some of the organizations I am in when I was
in high school. So put yourself out
there, it is worth it. You will meet so
many different people. I am involved
with two service clubs. I am also in Equality
Alliance, which supports the rights of the LGBT community. I am also in a sorority. The service groups have given a chance to
have leadership role. It also gave me a
chance to get use to speaking in front of people, which I will be doing as a
teacher.
2. Friends
teach you a lot
a. Some
friends will be there from your freshman year till your senior year and some
may transfer. One of my friends called me on my birthday
last year and left a voice mail. The
reason why this is so impressive is because she transfer out of my school my
freshman year. It is so nice that she
took the time out of her day to give me a call.
One of my close friends and I have been friends since freshman year it
has so neat to watch us to both grow. My
friends have taught me how to be a good friend.
One of my good friends answered the phone when I called her at two in
the morning when I was upset. My friends
have taught me that being there for your friends when they are going through a
tough time is really important. This
summer my dog passed away and all my friends really helped me get through this
time.
3. Exercise
a. Exercise
is a great way to deal with stress. When
I am feeling really stressed I love to go for a run. I always feel better after I run. It is also really easy to gain weight in
college. At my school the best food at
the dining hall is the deserts. If I
want to keep eating the chocolate chip cookies I have to keep running. My school also offers exercise classes that
are a ton of fun! Last year I did Zumba,
yoga, and kickboxing.
