This week marked the halfway point of my current semester which means I only have 7 weeks left until I graduate college! I have been thinking a lot about all the knowledge and experience I have gained from BYU-Idaho. As I wrap up my education I wanted to post about a couple of principles I have learned. I know I won’t be able to cover everything that I have gained from 9 semesters, but I do hope to provide a snapshot. Today I will cover principle # 1 1. Don’t give up when things get hard. In college and in life, circumstances may arise that can discourage us from moving forward. I have learned from my own experiences that when “failures” and set backs arise, there is only more to gain than to lose. It’s always important that when we do fall, we get back up again and use those experiences as lessons that can help us grow and progress. In the long run, those set backs will only make us stronger. But that is only dependent on us as we choose to not let those “failures” define who we are. Instead we should allow those experiences to be a strength in our lives. Comment below one principle that you have learned either from your education or career!

Your Biggest College Lesson Should Be: Diversified experiences and escaping the comfort zone. Most students are getting through college in baby mode (eat, play, sleep) It’s the stuff that gets you through but will leave you wondering, “What did I accomplish?”. This is why gaining unique perspectives and dismissing your comfort zone is key. Both work hand in hand! Look, when you do something new and different, your comfort zone asks you, “Where in the world do you think you’re going?” Many students listen to it and return to their comfy seats. I know I have before! I’m not hating– I get it. But instead, dig deep and tell yourself, win or lose, an experience gained is a step forward. See, college is not about how many years of experience you have doing one thing. It’s about how many quality experiences you can fit into those years (typically 4). If you think about it this way, you’ll take massive steps forward and never look back, accomplishing everything you wished for and more. ___________ I post weekly content for college students and young pros, if that's you consider following me Jerah Reeves 💯
