At first you will really feel a total stranger. New place, new classmates, new teachers, it is clichĂ© but yes, everything is new once you enter college. In my college years, I experienced strange things, things that are totally new to me, things that I’ve never experienced before I enter this new environment, but these things helped me a lot to become a new and better person, things that helped me survive college.Â
So, these are the stuff I have learned to keep me going. First, I have learned to love myself even more. I was then seriously struggling. I was insecure. I hated my pimples, I hated my hair, I hated my skin tone in short I hated almost everything about me. I want to be like her, I want something similar to hers, I want to have things like this and like that, I was holding back, I was trying to be somebody who I am actually not. This person was not me, this person inside me was a complete stranger, I barely know her. Then suddenly I asked myself why was I faking (?), why was I holding back (?). I am not in this place to please people or to let them like me. I realized that it is okay to have pimples or it is okay to not have branded clothes or not to be trendy, as what millennials say, it is totally fine, after all they would not care. Just accept who you are. Embrace your uniqueness and love yourself. No one will ever love you the way you love yourself, stop pleasing others and accept your shortcomings, always remember that no one is perfect. Second, be independent, learn how to stand on your own. Nothing in this world is permanent like with people, they say “people change, people come and go, people blah blah blah”. It is true, you do not always have to depend on people around you because YOU can, you can work alone, eat alone go to the library alone or even go to the mall alone. It is okay, it is not a big deal. Just remember that God is always with you, God always got your back. Additional to my second is that I have learn to know, to love and to give credits to God. God knows everything about you even the littlest thing, if there is one person who knows you even better, it is God. He appreciates you, He loves you more than anybody else. God helped me survive my college, He was always with me when I was stressed out, when I was sad, and when I was alone. He was always with me, so I always thank Him. He is a superhero.
