41 Things more important than your GPA in college. {Nyla}

I'm coming up on my senior year of college.
Panic has set in.

I decided I would put up a post today I had on an old blog.
It seemed fitting.
Hopefully you enjoy this as well.



1. Finding Yourself.
2. Finding a major you enjoy
3.Making friends you actually like.
4. Interning.
5. Volunteering your time.
6. Taking a class on something you know nothing about.
7. Learning how to pay bills.
8. Figuring out where the money is going to come from to pay your bills.
9. Learning to live with people besides your family.
10. Learning what you like to do.
11. Learning how much alcohol you can handle
12. Learning how much alcohol you can't handle.
13. Finding a passion you didn't know you had.
14. Opening your eyes to the world around you.
15. Realizing you actually really like your parents.
16. Discovering the value of a dollar.
17. Learning what a deadline means.
18. Making deadlines.
19. Doing something stupid and having a good story.
20. Learning to keep in touch with people while your in a different place.
21. Traveling
22. Taking a class you absolutely hate.
23. Failing miserably at something.
24. But getting up the next day and trying again.
25. Learning to do your own chores.
26. Managing Stress
27. Eating healthy
27. Exercising when you don't eat healthy.
28. Starting to figure out what you want out of life.
29. Changing your mind about things.
30. Forming your own opinion and thoughts about things.
31. Especially politics and what you like. 
32. Changing your major if you find a new one you like.
33. Trying your hardest.
34. Accomplishing something you thought you couldn't.
35. Going to a college football game.
36. Tailgating
37. Learning to work with people you don't like
38. Figuring out how to make a budget.
39. Sticking to a budget.
40. Figuring out how to make things work when you don't stick to your budget.
41. Making it to graduation.

Sidenote, I am not saying your GPA isn't important.
Because it is, but people get so caught up on a number. 
Just like with your SAT score, which by the way only 4 years later and I have no idea what I got.
There is so much more to learn and discover during college.
Try your best and learn something new everyday.
You'll be fine.
