Welp, vacation is over and now it's time to go back to Curry. Of course it will be hard, having to leave home cooked meals and Dunkin' Donuts coffee behind, but it's also exciting. It's a new semester with another schedule! Time to change things up, try new things you didn't have time for before. I am going to miss my hometown job, and driving myself anywhere I want, however, this semester I have time to join new clubs I didn't get to join before.
This transition is going to be the hardest because now I know the difference between living at home and living in a dorm. I know now what it feels like to walk across campus to get a meal versus getting up and going to the kitchen. Keeping all of this in mind I have to remind myself that being at Curry is a good thing. I am getting the education I need to start a career. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way about going back. I would love to stay home, work, and do what I want but I need to go to Curry.
Curry is my temporary home and I can't wait to see what is in store for me this semester. As bittersweet as my return will be I can't wait to see what I will accomplish this semester. Curry has so much to offer and I am excited to explore all it has to offer. Since I have a semester under my belt I know what to expect when I go back.
I need to rent/buy books for my new classes, but this time I'm going to wait to see which classes actually use the book they require. I'm going to make sure I go food shopping for my dorm because getting back into the habit of walking to the student center will be a challenge. I'm also going to make sure I bring a travel mug for coffee so I can make coffee in my dorm instead of going to the Student Center. I'm going to make sure all my clothes are washed before I go so I don't have to worry about laundry while I'm getting settled. Lastly, I'm going to get a good night's sleep because it's going to be a long day.
Transitions can be hard, but remember you are not alone. Everyone around you at Curry is going through the same thing you are. We are all in this together. What I love about Curry is the community. Everyone helps everyone and it's comforting. Everyone is so supportive. So let's have a great spring semester! I can't wait to make more memories at Curry College! Try new things, join new clubs, make new friends. Let's make this an experience to remember, shall we?! Are YOU ready to go back? We bleed purple! I hope everyone has a great semester! Let's go team Curry College!
