Finals are finally done and I'm officially home after my first semester of my sophomore year of college.... how crazy!! Freshman year seriously flew by and I can't believe I'm already a semester into my sophomore year.

This semester has seriously been such an awesome experience. I'm currently on my fourth major (I know, right?) and I think I've finally found what I'm happy doing. Freshman year was somewhat miserable for me... not knowing what I was doing and feeling like I was disappointing not just everyone around me, but also myself. This semester was different, though. I was actually excited about going to class... well as excited as one can be.

I had such great experiences with my friends, going out or just hanging out and watching a movie. I was on top of all my work and did well in all my classes. I was finally happy and not stressed all the time.

If anyone has struggled with not being happy in their major or their classes, it's not too late to look into a different pathway. I started in engineering and am now in criminal justice... how much more of an 180 can you do? Just because you go into college in a certain major doesn't mean you need to end with it. No one else is living your life but you. Your parents aren't going to be waking up everyday and going to work for you. You need to do what's best for you.

I'm lucky that I have the best support system ever. I know I can always go to my family if I'm struggling with something or am just stressed and need to talk (luckily that hasn't happened much this semester).

I've finally been able to do what I know I'm capable of and make both my family and myself proud. I'm ready to kick some ass again next semester.
