Things I've learned so far in college

1. Diversity comes in many different ways.
2. Think before you get angry.
3. Not everyone should be measured on the same scale - I remember Zea saying this to our AP Lang class once and thinking, "why the heck not?" Now I understand. Just as we all have different abilities, we have different accomplishments. For me, walking half a mile is a piece of cake. For someone with a disability, walking a couple steps is an achievement. For me, getting a 70 on a test is a disaster. For some, it is a badge of honor. For me, just hitting a softball with that heavy metal bat is a feat worthy of applause. For some, it is a given.
4. Making friends and 'networking' is very important.
5. I heart hot chocolate.
