Lesson Learned

What college really taught me;

Junior Year

How to grow a pair, audition for a musical and make some life long friends that are just as insane as you

Senior Year

How to deal with trust and how to make people earn your trust

While I have learned some priceless lessons over the past few years not a single one of these lessons was how to get a job, how to work in an office, how to use quick books or excel, how to write a resume or cover letter. I wouldn't erase any of the lessons now stored in my mind, but I sure would love to learn some new ones that actually can be applied to my current situation.
