A college must become a takeoff platform of our career but for lots of graduates, it’s rather a time of missed opportunities. Only after graduation, they start understanding what exactly they should do differently. But the time machine is not invented. So if you want your college investments to pay off, you’d better ponder on your study time right now. Let’s consider the most common regrets shared by college graduates, so you could avoid the same missteps.
#1. I wish I’d studied more/less
A suchlike grudge is shared by the most of the former students. Some of them regret they’ve spent all the time on books. Others admit that constant partying wasn’t a right option. Frankly speaking, you will hardly manage to avoid this kind of disappointment entirely. However, you should try to maintain a balance between your studying and a social life.
What to do:
#2. I wish I’d gained more work experience
According to Pew Research Center report, half of bachelor graduates regret not gaining any work experience during their study. The matter is that professional experience is the most valuable metrics for a future employment. So those students who have kept their focus solely on their studies turn to be in a lose-lose situation. They lack both professional skills and understanding of a working process.
What to do:
#3. I wish I’d chosen other major
Different sources give different numbers but in avg up to a half of recent graduates regret their choice of major. Just imagine that people spend about 5 of their most active years on studying what they don’t like or what is not in demand on a labor market. This statistics looks just sad. And there is not much to advise. Since very few of us at the age of 18 know what they want to do professionally for the rest of their life.

Conclusion
Remember that college years don’t just pass quickly, they run away in no time. So be mindful about it from the very start. And relax. All you need to do is to combine working hard and having fun in more or less fair proportion.
Arizona State University. You can say that this college tends to be in the news a lot. Well, this news that just came out is pretty crazy. We’re not even going to explain any further as we will let the video below explain. Guys, don’t send pics to girls, or this will happen!
Everyone loves raves, I mean – there’s something enchanting about loud beats, drugs and girls wearing high socks and underwear. Some of us, however, love raves more than the average festival goer. Meet Jax – he is the MVP of EDM and dedicates his lifestyle to traveling the world and attending different raves. On one of his travels to Belgium, he had a bad trip at Tomorrowland and for 9 hours he was stuck in a video game of his own fantasy land. He endlessly ran through different festivals as he jumped over obstacles and had to beat the clock to stay hydrated. When Jax finally woke up he was confused as fuck – was he real or still a video game character? He told his friends about his trip and they thought it was hilarious and wanted to recreate the game in real life. So, he developed Rave Run. It’s an infinite runner that takes you through mainstream festivals like Coachella, Ultra and EDC. He even created a bonus level that’s a spin-off of his wild trip. Travel through the stage sets, but watch out for the smoke jets, stereo speakers, and mushrooms that pop up in your way. Send your highest score to [email protected] and we’ll give one lucky ass winner 2018 VIP tickets to EDC to party with Jax.
