Freshman year of college is so different from the other ones. Everything is so new and different. But after you escape the stress of finals, essays, and cranky professors what comes next? A summer of working off the gained weight and replenishing your bank account, of course. But it is also a time to think about the next semester that awaits you. Are you excited or nervous? For me, I am ready to take my sophomore year with excitement. I now know what to expect on the college campus. I've found some amazing friends to make me laugh when I need it the most, and most importantly I finally feel like I belong in college.
It is so easy to think "maybe college isn't really for me after all". But after my first year (which was a rollercoaster), I know that college is definitely where I am meant to be.
We know how to navigate the campus (for the most part), know when is a good time to go the campus gym and library, what food in the dining hall to stay away from, and how to balance a crazy schedules (some more than others).
All of my previous doubts of if college was really right for me have faded away and been replaced with the idea that I am right where I need to be. So here's to the freshmen who made it through nine months of what seemed like hell, and here's to our second year!
