Just the other day, my roommate and I were talking about how
expensive college textbooks are. Last year, she introduced me to a couple of
websites that sell or rent textbooks at a cheaper price than the school
bookstore. In fact, I rented my textbook for my winter class from one of those
websites and it only cost me $12 (instead of $200 that I would have paid if I
had purchased it from the bookstore). As we were talking the other night, I
mentioned to her that I had wished that someone had told me about these kinds
of websites back in freshman year when I was paying the bookstore close to
$1,000 just for textbooks. This gave me the idea to create kind of a
“Guide/Cheat sheet” on how to get the most out of your college career.
I have an
older sister who gave me a few tips going into college, but there was so much
more that I wish I had known back in freshman and sophomore year that I know
now. Things like, take full advantage of the campus gym in your early years
because once you get into your junior and senior year, you most likely will not
have any free time to use it. And that moving into an apartment will probably
be the best decision you ever make. I wish I had been told these things before
coming to college so I want to take my experiences, along with experiences from
other students and put them together into a helpful guide for incoming students.
I also typed up everything that could possibly be put on my resume.
