Summer 2016 has been a great one filled with adventures and new friends. I was able to share some of my college experiences with my family and friends back home, as well as getting the chance to reconnect with family and friends I hadn't seen in months. As much as I missed everyone from home, there has always been a part of me missing, the part of me that had been brand new a few months ago, but had now become so important that I missed it every day. I missed school.

Sophomore year I hope to gain a little. I want to be someone's role model, someone that leads a freshmen to success and is there as a best friend and for giving advice. My big is one of my closest friends and also the person I turn to when I'm sad or need help. I want to be that person to someone else, and I hope that sophomore year will bring me someone special.

I also want to figure out my major. Freshmen year was easy and simple... I had no major and didn't need to think much about it, but now I have to wonder and hope that this coming semester, or next will lead me to figuring out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I am not good at making decisions so this might not be the first time I change a major.

I also look forward to planning my study abroad trip. Although this won't take place until spring semester of my junior year, I need to begin planning now. I need to find the program that suits me best in the place that I want to adventure to most. It will be a long process but I know it will be worth it in the end.

Next summer I hope to be an intern. I want to start building my resume and the best way to do so will be to find an internship that relates to my field of study (whatever that may be). I want to start earning more money and begin to make connections in my field that will help me to get a job after I graduate.
