Wow, the first week of college has been a whirlwind to say the least. All these new adventures and experiences are a little contradicting; exciting but also scary. Not being a freshman going away to college, you tend to blend in with the freshmen, so ultimately, it's what people assume you are. Although, you seem to experience all the same things, so you might as well say you're a freshman.

Being so far from home, and it being the only place I've really only known, makes it a little more scary.

I have always been in a place where I've known everyone and everyone knows me, so having to introduce myself everywhere I go is a little weird, but interesting.

I find my extroverted tendencies turn into introverted. I ultimately feel like I should talk to every person I walk by, but then I find myself back in my dorm room away from all people and just casually listening to music and doing absolutely nothing.

This is unlike me, yet, also so like me in so many ways.

I find myself scowering every coffee shop on campus.

I thought I drank too much coffee my first year of college.

Boy, was I WRONG.

I have found myself in coffee shops almost every day, multiple times a day. Yes, I'M THAT GIRL.

I don't think you will see me without an iced coffee in my hand.

I find myself wanting to push myself out of my comfort zone and try to go to every campus event, but also find myself holding back so much.

Also feel like I need to be in my room, studying for an assignment that hasn't even been assigned yet.

Why do I feel like a first year college student when I feel like I should have all this down by now?

I'm used to the work load, so why should this be this hard?

Oh yeah, because I've never been away from home for school and now I'm doing all the social aspects and the whole college experience for the first time.

This first week has been amazing and nothing like I have ever experienced. I am finding myself looking at new adventures and in some terms a new me.

So here's to every new adventures and to every iced coffee I haven't had yet.

Here's To College.
