Late night thoughts
As the school year is coming to an end, I thought it’d be nice to do some reflecting on the past school year. It’s hard to believe that my first year of college is almost coming to an end. I can honestly say that this has been a crazy year, full of ups and downs and many many new experiences. I never thought I would become so close to some of the people here, that these people would become some of my best friends and now I can’t imagine life without them. I’m extremely grateful for the people I met this year and really hope to create many more memories with them throughout the rest of college. From having to make a really hard decision fall quarter to meeting that one special guy in the winter, every quarter has brought me something new. I still remember moving in the first week in September and how hard it was to adjust and wanting to just be at home with my mom again. I realized that this year I have grown so much and learned a lot about myself. I’ve grown in many ways. From learning to take care of myself without my mom who has always done everything for me all my life to making my own decisions to taking risks and experiencing new things, I wouldn’t have ever wanted my freshman year of college to happen any differently. Everything that has happened this year happened for a reason. After much thought, I have come to realize that no matter what happens next year and what the future has in store for me, I’m ready for it. The future may be a scary thought but I am no longer going to live in fear of what if’s or what might or might not happen. No matter what changes next year brings, I have faith that everything will be okay. Here’s to living in the present, and making the most of the last few weeks of freshman year!
