So let’s be real, I have been in college longer than the
“norm”. Through my years of becoming a 6th year senior I have come up with a
list of tips to help anyone who will be/is in my same shoes. Hope this can
provide some comedic relief or a little assistance to your situation:
1.
Be Real. Cling to God’s Word. (You’ll
need all the help you can get.)
2.
Get Familiar. Learn all the backroads and places
to avoid in your college town. (If you’re in Cookeville, Walnut will
become your best friend.)
3.
Laugh at Yourself. People on campus will often
say to you, “Wait... How old ARE you?!?” (This statement may be accompanied by
a bug eyed stare.)
4.
Don't Compare. You will still be in college
while friends your age are at their “big girl jobs”. (But let’s be honest,
having real responsibility isn’t that fun anyways.)
5.
Make Jokes. When family wants to know what
you’re doing with your life, tell them you have decided to become a
professional student. (Little do they know how serious you really are.)
6.
Remain Confident. Others may often wonder why you
have been in school so long. (Which you may also be wondering yourself...)
7.
Adapt Well. You will go through many generations
of friends during your extended stay in college. (Look at it this way, the more
the merrier.)
8.
Stay Young. When hanging out with peers, you may
learn that they were in Kindergarten when you were in the 6th grade. (But
who’s counting, ...right?)
9.
Help Others. Give advice about what you have
learned from your lengthy journey called College. (Yes, they will start to refer
to you as “Mom”.)
10. Get
Over It. You are where you are for a purpose, so embrace the ride. (And
make sure to buckle up.)
