A New Life Ahead

Starting the college life.

A New Life Ahead

I was always told as a kid that time flies. I never really believed it until I experienced it for myself. Junior high, high school, and now college. It has all happened so fast.

I start college in a couple days. I have my own apartment and a roommate with two cats. Everything is falling into place beautifully, and I could not be happier with direction in which my life is going. I am excited to announce that I am going forth with pursuing a career as a writer with a degree in liberal arts. I cannot wait to see where my college education takes me.

There have been quite a few bumps in the road. My sister, her boyfriend, and our younger brother all piled in to my roommate and I's apartment for the last couple weeks to get a head start on their own lives out of my dad's house. It was not a good place to stay, so we opened our doors and helped them out. They have their own apartment now, at the building just behind ours.

I have been granted the time to finally rearrange and set up the apartment upon their moving out, and I am proud to say that it looks fantastic. We have been working nearly everyday and busting our butts, and our hard work has, and definitely will, pay off. My roommate and I cannot wait until college starts so that we can take a break from working so much, and do some homework (that's something we never thought we'd say)!

I am going to continue writing throughout college. Thank you to everyone handing out their love and support through my journey. And stay tuned for some more creative writing works!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
