" Well girls, this will be my last blog as a Freshman 15 girl.  My freshman year of college has been filled with memories, love, friends, heartbreak, drama, problems, stress, and so many other things. Some memories were good, some were bad, but every single one of them will be cherished and will be a part of me for the rest of my life. I have met people that have become nothing short of my family. I have learned to live life a little, and how to manage my time and responsibilities. I have learned to accept myself and to never settle for anything that isn&amp;#039;t everything.  So for my last blog, I will leave you girls with some advice.  College is a life changing experience, and it is perfectly okay to be scared. Nobody is perfect and just because your friends and classmates may be dying to get out of your town, doesn&amp;#039;t mean you have to be. Listen to yourself, not your peers, because your judgment is best. Find little bits of joy and happiness that can brighten your day. It can be a big blanket or making dance videos with your friends, anything that brings a smile to your face is an awesome stress buster. Be HAPPY with who you are and if you aren&amp;#039;t satisfied with the way something is going then FIX IT. Only YOU have the power to do so. Your mind controls everything, and if you tell yourself that you WILL get an A in calculus or you WILL make the dance team, you will. Be confident in yourself and don&amp;#039;t be afraid to find a friend for a hug when you need it. Keep your friends close and your family even closer. If you just close your eyes and breathe, everything will be okay.  Another thing I recommend to do is to make a blog. Blogging daily about my life and the things that are bothering me has helped me so much. I have been able to look back on this entire year and I have seen my transformation from a scared high school senior to a strong college sophmore. It truly helps, I promise. For all of my Freshman 15 postings go to www.freshman15dawn.blogspot.com and for my personal blog www.dawnwolff.blogspot.com. Follow me, send me questions, etc. I love to hear from you guys.  This entire experience has been so rewarding. Going to college has been such a life changing experience, and having it documented and followed has made it even more incredible. This experience has rewarded me with 14 best friends, amazing relationships with Seventeen editors, and memories that will last a lifetime. To you girls that followed me, thank you. Don&amp;#039;t hesitate to contact me; I&amp;#039;m always here. I wish the best of luck to every single one of you. Keep your head up. Thank you for following my Freshman year of college Defy Gravity and Keep Smiling, Dawn "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
