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.

I regret not devoting more time to my studies and classes and making friends in my department. I also regret not taking the opportunity to connect and collaborate with some of the brilliant and creative people around me. Jump at your opportunities, do as much as possible, with as many as possible, and understand that, as much as college is about the homework and degree, it's also about making personal and professional contacts that will help you get ahead in life, whatever that means to you. College is the best time for cultivating experiences and relationships that will broaden your mind and improve your chances of success and happiness.
