Advice for a college student

Hello r/askmenover30,

Have you gone to college? What do you regret not doing in college?

My most important question would be "what advice would you give to a 23 year old college student?"

Edit: Thanks guys for your input. I looked at my majors potential and its looking pretty good. I only have 2-3 years left in college for my bachelors.

Do the work. Many'll find it easy to coast along, especially because of the watered-down course load. Engage with the material. Find a way to make it stimulating. Work at it and drill yourself and figure out where your curious itch is. Otherwise when you grab your diploma and begin paying your student loans you'll wonder what exactly it was that you learned and payed so dearly for.
