As I\u2019m well in to my last semester of my senior year, I\u2019ve started to reflect on my entire college experience. Being a transfer student, my experience might be somewhat a-typical. Two schools, two orientations, two different cities to explore, and two great groups of friends and tons of awesome professors who have helped shaped my life to what it is today. But the one thing that, when I look back I wish I did more of, was to document this entire experience.
\nDon\u2019t get me wrong I have just as many Instagram pics of the Pru at sunset, Fenway Park in the summer, or the Common in the Fall as you do \u2013 but those aren\u2019t the things you\u2019ll need help remembering. What about the night before that snow day when you and your roommates decided to dance around in your PJ\u2019s to pop hits circa 2002 while baking cookies and drinking hot chocolate until approximately 4am? Or the time the Red Sox won the World Series and you ran down to Kenmore Square to scream and celebrate with the rest of this awesome city? Or that time your club did something super cool like a big performance or created something cool or WHATEVER. The point is, these are the experience that you can only ever have in college \u2013 right now where you are.
\nAs we\u2019re getting all caught up in this exam and that class and that project and whatever roommate who you\u2019re fighting with this week, we forget to appreciate this time and this experience.
\nSo basically what I\u2019m getting at is, take more pictures, videos, and even screenshot those hilarious Tweets you may want to look back on someday. 30 years from now you\u2019re not going to want to remember the exam you took on February 12th for the psychology class you needed to graduate, but you\u2019ll probably want to remember how you celebrated after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
