“Abby K. is Jasper Newton Foundation’s last intern to leave the office before starting college and she wrote up some interesting points she learned in college and still continues to evolve and grow with the challenges and victories she faces each year in school.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This year while away at school, I learned a lot.\u00a0 A lot of a lot.\u00a0 I learned that waiting to do your laundry until your only clean clothes are the ones you have on is not ideal because every time, without fail, a washing machine is never open when you need one.\u00a0 Who knew that Oreos are extremely expensive when you buy them every week, well I do now.\u00a0 I also learned things like how to identify every major Italian Renaissance artist by their style and why I can grow giant flowers in Alaska but not in Indiana. I learned that I thought I knew how to manage my time in high school, but I didn\u2019t.\u00a0 Balancing school, sports, clubs, church, and life seemed easy until I realized my mom did most of the balancing for me.\u00a0 Who would\u2019ve thought remembering to go get dinner at the dining hall would be so easy to forget?\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In college, professors don\u2019t make it hard to fail.\u00a0 Doing your work and putting in the study hours is not optional even if they say it is.\u00a0 That was not a pretty lesson to learn.\u00a0 I also learned that making friends and getting involved is hard.\u00a0 I think one of the few disadvantages of growing up in a small town is that everyone has known everyone forever and ever.\u00a0 Trying new things, especially in high school, wasn\u2019t that hard for me because I already knew everyone involved before the first day.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I went to a college where I knew nobody.\u00a0 Literally zero friends on day one.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t realize how hard it would be to find the courage to get involved and put myself out there.\u00a0 Walking into a place where I knew no one was something that had never really happened to me before, and it took some major adjusting.\u00a0 But stepping out of that comfort zone is 110% worth it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 College seems to have this unique way of bring people together that wouldn\u2019t normally find each other.\u00a0 Learning about other lifestyles and seeing different points of view is completely eye-opening and an opportunity I hope everyone can experience at least once in their life.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
