College Is Fine, Everything's Fine

#1 Expectations and Realities (Beginner's Mind)


Listen Later

How many of you have heard that "college is the best 4 years of your life?" And sure, that can be true. But man it can throw you when the picture you had in your mind doesn't match what you deal with day-to-day. And it's lonely when you think you're the only one who's surprised by all the things college brings.

On today's episode, our guests share the expectations they had going into freshman year versus the realities they face now. We look at how "fortune telling" and going in with "expert mind" can set us up for disappointment, and we explain how cultivating a "beginner's mindset" can bring us a more balanced and healthy view of what to expect during these best years.
