When deciding where I was going to commit to college, people would give me advice and then tell me the one thing everyone says… college goes by in a blink of an eye. I never believed them. I would just nod my head and be like “yeah sure it does." Little did I know it actually does…I'm here in my final week of my sophomore year in college?! Where has the time gone? It feels like yesterday I was just moving into my dorm to start freshman year!
From living in dorms my freshman year to an apartment sophomore year, I thought that sophomore year would go by 10 times slower than freshman year did. Boy was I wrong! I am officially halfway done with college…scary. I thought that it would take at least a couple more years for me to be able to say that!
From never being home, having an internship, looking for a job, attending as many sorority events as you can to still be involved while balancing school work all in between that…you have already got an idea of what the rest of college is going to be like. Busy…busy…busy!
This was the year of brainstorming, where I am going to go with my life and what my career will ultimately be will soon to become reality. After sophomore year it's all about focusing on your future and what the future has in store for you. As much as I do not want to say that the fun is over…from here on out it is all seriousness when it comes to school. Not only that, but this was the year that I was actually able to call school my home. Sophomore year made me realize that the University of Arizona is my home and was by far the best decision I have yet to make in my life.
From going out on Tuesdays, Thursdays and every night of the weekend, one can say sophomore year was fun. Those late night runs to the Jacuzzi, being able to attend all kinds of sorority events, making cookies at midnight while talking to your roommates on the couch, those are times that I will forever cherish! Going from one other roommate to three, it was a complete change and the atmosphere of living in an apartment made it feel like college was actually my home, not just a place I have to live in order for me to attend school. Just because sophomore year is over does not necessarily mean the fun will completely stop, but now it is time to focus on yourself and where you ultimately want to go in life.
All I can say is that I have had one memorable sophomore year and I can't wait to see what the rest of my college experience has in store for me!
Bye Bye, Sophomore Year!
