To-Do List of College

1. Maintain a 4.0
2. Graduate with a Masters Degree
3. Join a club
4. Study Abroad
5. Have an internship
6. Volunteer...a lot
7. Make friends that will last a life time
8. Be a better me
9. Get A JOB!
10. Have the best time of my life

       To achieve almost everything on my list I will have to work very hard for four years of my life, now three and a half. It's always been my goal to have a 4.0 in college, mostly because my parents expect it of me and believe I can and no one likes to disappoint their parents. Having a masters degree will benefit me in the long run and give me an edge over other applicants applying for the same job. Joining a club, volunteering, making friends and studying abroad are all things that help develop you as a person and contribute to making college the best time of your life. However, it doesn't hurt that these things also look great on a resume. It happens that I have an internship lined up or in the making for my sophomore year. Internships help prepare students for the scary world that awaits after graduation. Which leads me to getting a job, I know you should start applying for jobs about three months before graduation but being the silly freshman I am I know nothing about the act of searching for a real job, but that is where the career center is here for! College is supposed to be four years of growing as an individual and having the best time of your life. It is impossible to say how to achieve this but judging by my first semester here, college is going to the best time of my life.
