Have you ever had that feeling where you are just so content and happy with where you are in life? That's where I am right now. My first couple of weeks at college have been awesome. Have they been perfect? No, but nothing in life is ever perfect. I'm at a place in my life where I know this is where I'm supposed to be. Even though some days it feels weird to be away from my family, I believe I'm doing very well with the transition.
One thing that has made this transition easier is the fact that I have been away from home before, so I know what it's like to be away from my family. I haven't really been homesick at all. I'm not sure if that is because I'm only an hour away, or the fact that I've been so busy that it's hard to miss my family. I'm sure somewhere down the road I will probably get a little homesick, but I will deal with that when I get there.
Wow, have I been busy! I feel like I'm always doing something, or I am always with someone, which is not a bad thing. Between classes, homework/studying, activities, and spending time with my new friends, there's not much time I have to myself. I think that is probably a good thing for now. I couldn't stand to be just chilling in my dorm room by myself all day. My campus allows many different ways that students can get involved, which is good to make sure everyone can get the most out of their college experience.
Most freshmen like myself say how much they love college. And I didn't really understand why until now. I love college because of the freedom it provides. The freedom to find out who I really am, and what my values are. College gives me the freedom to be responsible, but to also have fun. most importantly, college has given me freedom to grow and to make endless memories. What could be better than that?
