Learn from the Learned

Want to find out more about college life before entering it? Try Seventeen magazine's Freshman 15 (see title link), where girls talk about their first-year experiences through video blogs and social media interactions. Jaymie, from the College of Charleston, for example, just decided to study abroad during her junior year instead of sophomore year!

College days

College isn't all about partying, but there's certainly some perks there. Being a freshman, though? Not so much (see title link). You can read blogs, see videos, but won't really get a sense of it until you're actually there. If you go clubbing, know that you WILL be stuck in line for hours. The VIP list is only available through some tight connections, so next weekend may not be better. But through it all, it will be a BLAST.
