Embrace College While You Can

By: David Heidelburg

Lets face it, while we are in school whether you are Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior the times are only shortening as the days go on. No matter how you think about it. That is the fact. Although college can have some ups and downs whether it is academics or etc.. These are the last few years before getting into the real world. My best advice to you is to make the best out of it.

Not everyone goes or has the opportunity to go to college which is ok of course, but for those that are in school it is also a great step of accomplishment. Some more advice I would give of how to embrace the college life while you can is maybe try events on campus. Since being here at Defiance College I realize that there are a ton of activities here on campus and a lot of them are fun and interesting. I have been to quite a few myself from painting pictures to campus carnivals before the school year begins. And so many more activities on campus just mentioning the few I have been to. 

Another thing I have noticed is that college goes by quickly  weather you believe it or not. It really seems like yesterday that I came here for a visit back in 2021. When I had classes my freshman year, I remember Ms. Lisa mentioning to the Freshman class that it goes by quick. I didn’t believe it at first but when you get through one week it just flies by from there.

I say all of that because I believe it is important that because we pay to go to school at Defiance College you might as well try to make the best of it. Trying new things maybe one step at a time, trying to get out of your comfort zone and meet new people. When my time is done at Defiance College I don’t want to have regrets about what could have been or any what if’s.
