Hey there little bro

So I told you what you might want to know about writing for college, but maybe after a year (or 2…) of college-level English you might want to have learned a few more things.

You should realize that things are not always what you expect. I expected to write a lot more formal papers, but it turns out that you’re more often expected to do things you haven’t done before. Instead of coming into a class believing that all you’ll do is formal analysis papers, keep an open mind and maybe you’ll be more ready for all the new types of media and projects that’ll come your way.

I also hope that you’ll take advantage of every opportunity. College is no fun (both classes, and college life in general) if you don’t put your full effort into everything. You might miss out on something that could be very enjoyable, or you might just waste your time doing an assignment that you only spend 20 minutes on and don’t get anything out of.

I guess what I’m saying is, even if everything is not as you expect, make the most out of it!
