The Truth About College Life

I've told this story many times before, but I can vividly remember two GPS alums sitting in my office complaining that "we just don't have friends like we had at GPS."  Problem is they'd only be in college about a month!

It took you six or seven years to develop the lasting friendships you made here at school, so why do you think you're going to have the same relationships in only a few weeks time once you get to college?  You may not find "your people" right away. In fact, in could take you the whole year to find the right group of friends.  Likewise, even if you were dying to leave home and get to college, you still may be homesick, at least for a few months.

So before you start thinking about transferring, give yourself some time and read these ten things no one tells you about your freshmen year.  And take them to heart.  You too will find your group of friends, figure out what you should wear, and eventually figure out your major.
