5. School gets harder, not easier.6. Take pictures.7. Running out of flex will always cause a panic attack.

8. If he’s texting you after 2 a.m., it’s not because he likes your personality.9. Don’t freak out because two years are down. You still have two to go.10. Turning 20 is just as boring as turning 19… So close yet so far.

21. YOLO. Cheesy, but true, do what you want.22. Recapping the night before is almost as fun as the actual night itself.

23. No matter how much you love your school, nothing beats going home to your own bed and your mom or dad’s cooking.24.
