I did it! I am graduating very soon. The most valuable thing I have gotten out of my time here at OU is learning time, money, and stress management.

What I have gotten out of college is that your are in the real world now. Students do not have their parents to wake them up for school or to tell them what they need to do before the next day. College shows you many things that can stop a person from achieving a goal as in procrastination, hanging with friends, a job, etc. , however, there are also good things out of it. Individuals finally living on there own, having responsibility, joining clubs and sports, being part of an active community, and making new friends. Most importantly, one gets the value of education and obtains knowledge that is very valuable to the world.
