The first full week of the spring semester has come to a close and....WE MADE IT! I think the first week back, along with the last week before break are always the hardest.

To me, the first week back is one of the hardest times because you have to get back into the swing of things. As a dance major who didn't do too much dancing over the break, my body had to get back into things and let me tell you, it has not been that fun. However, I know that it is all worth it and part of getting back into things. Just as getting used to a new class schedule, what buildings and rooms your classes are in, getting up and actually going to class on time, and figuring out where you want to sit (because lets face it, once we claim a seat, it's ours for the rest of the semester and we will glare at you if you sit in it) are part of a new semester.

The first week can feel like it drags on forever or it can seem like it goes by super fast. I think for most of us though, it seems to go by super fast, I know for me it sure does. It's crazy to me that week two will be starting and I'll be that much closer to the end of this semester. I am trying to take everything in, from enjoying the classes that I have with my friends (p.s. love you guys!) to not being afraid to participate in other classes that I normally might have been afraid to.

I'm thoroughly excited to see what the rest of this semester holds and I encourage you to feel the same. We have the rest of our lives to worry about what comes next, enjoy what's going on around you here and now and get ready to kick this semester's butt!
