<p>I third sweetpotato and also heartily second all of the people who have said to try and make friends outside of what is convenient. I made the mistake of befriending only the people in my dorm and I honestly have come to find out that I have almost nothing in common with most of them. Thankfully I’m out of here in four days for good, so it’s not a problem at this point, but definitely try to find friends with similar interests. </p>
<p>Also, if you get the feeling that something is wrong with your major/school choice, investigate, don’t try to repress it. I wound up missing transfer deadlines and ultimately got waitlisted where I think I otherwise would have easily gotten in. I’m in limbo now because I didn’t trust my gut earlier and get out unscathed while I still could.</p>
<p>Finally, don’t be afraid to say no to people. I always agreed to be study buddy even when I knew that material and really didn’t have time to anyway. Ultimately, people realized that I was always willing to help and instead of simply acknowledging that I was considerate or a good person, they decided to take advantage of my generosity. Don’t let people make you into that guy/girl.</p>
