What is one thing that helped you transition from a high school student to a college student? Especially if you're moving far from home
i have a 3.1 cumulative GPA and love to play basketball and socialize. I've also had the same job at papa Murphy's for almost 3 years now.

Hey Jesse,
I would say to lean into your interests. You like basketball and socializing. recreation basketball is a great way to meet people. People played basketball in my colleges gyms from open to close so I would say lace them up and just go get in on games on a regular. Eventually someone will want to go eat or do something else. the relationships you'll gain by just being there and playing will likely last you at least your college career if not your life. Many people from your dorm or class will likely be there as well so you'll get to know them better.
My "thing" was getting out and trying something new. There is a lot to do on a college campus so learning a new thing or 2 was how I ended up with friends in nearly every major and walk of life in my time in college.
