10 Things Student's Don't Need

5. Expensive things: Don't get all caught up in the society's ruling that we need the newest, most high-tech items on the market. While it may seem pretty cool at the time, these things add up and before you know it, that refund, paycheck, or money from your parent's can either be a killer savings account or a killer of your fun when it runs out.

4.Extra stress: We have enough of this, wouldn't you agree? Between class, work, parents, social life, and anything else we have on our plate, the last thing we need is more stress. For ways to reduce the excessive stress in your life, see my list on stress relief.

3. Roommate conflict: Oh how this can put a damper on the college experience! But it is bound to happen. Trust me. Something you want to put energy into is keeping peace between your roommates. Take the time to build on these friendships and save yourself and them some serious frustration later.

2. Sickness: Nobody likes being sick. But the winter always comes with the threat of some sort of cold or flu, especially on such a crowded campus. So, take steps to keep yourself and your peers healthy. Wash your hands. A lot. And actually take the advice of those signs posted all over campus warning you to stay home if you are already ill!

1. A boyfriend or girlfriend: You may disagree with me on this one. I, however, am a firm believer in this. So many students spend their college years wrapped up in a boyfriend or girlfriend, or wrapped up in trying to get one. This isn't a must, though. We have the rest of our lives ahead of us. Don't fall prey to the idea that you can only be happy if you have someone calling you their's.
