10 Things I Learned My First Semester

1. You don't have to be good at anything you do, you just have to do it better than everyone else.
2. Just because it's the law, doesn't mean it applies to Louisiana.
3. When you're stressed, so is the rest of your class. So don't stress too much about being stressed.
4. Always take advantage of the "free lunch speakers".
5. Coffee is your friend, but your wallet will thank you if you can go a little longer without it.
6. Wine is also your friend.
7. Make friends. They will help you keep your sanity. 
8. Don't neglect your old friends. It's nice to get away from it all sometimes.
9. Just because you live 5 min from the beach, doesn't mean you will ever have time to go.
10. Enjoy it all. First semester has already flown by and as scary as it was at times, I don't want it to end.
