This Monday (June 18, 2018) is our first day of school as 1st year college. And while ago there's a post that caught my attention. This post is from [Trivia Thoughts](https://web.facebook.com/TriviaandFactsOfficcial/posts/1840746609318690?comment_id=1843496679043683¬if_id=1528893562395580¬if_t=comment_mention) ![](http://www.foxboroughrcs.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/CollegeCounseling.jpg) #### Dear incoming first-year students, always remember that: >• College is not about competition, but survival >• Don't laugh at the mistakes of your classmates or make fun of them just because they mispronounced a single word or their grammar isn't good. You're supposed to help each other, not drag one another. >• It's okay to rest and feel tired but don't overdo it. >• It's okay to unwind. Give yourself a space to breathe. >• It's okay to cry but don't give up. >• Sleepless nights are nothing once you get your diploma and degree. It will be worth it. >• Accept criticisms because that's another way of learning. >• You will meet new friends and lose more friends. It will make you realize that you don't meet people by chance... You meet them with a purpose. >• If you fail, try again.- Carpe Diem. >• Learn and experience new things. Be the YOU you were not when you're in high school or elementary. Lastly... >• Even if you fail, don't give up because in college, you will realize that the best life lesson is failure because it will make you stronger and better. You have to fail in order to learn and you have to learn in order to survive. Remember that even the greatest and most famous men these days once failed big in their lives #### GOOD LUCK! DON'T GIVE UP! *** # 😊Thank you for reading!😊 __If you have comments, opinions, reactions or corrections, please drop it off.
