How I did it: I tried a lot of new things, made a lot of silly and not-so-silly mistakes, learned that it's okay to fail, to screw up, to be an idiot, as long as your heart is in the right place.  Life isn't worth living if you're not doing it the way you want to!  I've learned a lot about tolerance, cohabitation, relationships, friendships, dressing, make-up (and yes, real things like history and writing and citation styles and space time diagrams and genetics and organic chemistry and nutrition and ballroom dance).

Student loans, scholarships, (and helpful parents, mostly) helped for the financial end.  Super friends (though it took me awhile to find them) helped me through the rest!

Lessons & tips:

• Don't worry too much.  ...that's all.
