Five Things Nobody Told Me about College

　　As I type this，I am in my university dorm room.A year ago，when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications，I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like.However，there’s only so much that prep books，websites，and older friends can teach.Here are the top 5 things nobody told me about college：

　　1____

　　Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study.If they tell you otherwise，they’re lying and will probably change what they want to pursue within the first quarter of attendance.During my first quarter at University of California，Riverside (UCR)，I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs，so that’s what I applied for.However，once I worked with statewide and local government，I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy，and now I am in the process of changing my area.

　　In college，there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations.However，there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something.In order for you to take full advantage of the conferences，researches，internships(实习)，and fellowships that your university offers，apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office，introduce yourself，and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career.Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone，and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.
