Winter break was great. In fact, I wish it could be a little bit longer. It was amazing being able to spend some time away from school and work and being able to spend quality time with family and friends. Lucky for me, I was able to spend two weeks on vacation in Florida with my twin sister, visiting my grandparents. But I am so ready to be back with my friends at school and my sorority sisters! It was so weird spending so much time apart from them!
Going into the first week of first semester, everyone seems to be excited yet anxious to start all over again. New classes, new professors and a new schedule to get used to. Am I going to like my classes? My professors? It seems as if everyone had just gotten adjusted to their new life away at school.
Everyone has such high hopes for second semester. If you ask me, first semester was great but it could’ve been a lot better. It was a big adjustment from living at home to living at school, making new friends, learning the campus and rushing a sorority. But now everyone has gotten the hang of it…well I hope so!
When school starts again I will definitely miss things at home that I have become accustomed to over break. My own room, bathroom, not having to wear shower shoes, my mom’s home cooking and having my car. There are definitely some perks of being home for such a long period of time. It will be hard to adjust to life without them when getting back to school. But spring break will come soon enough!
Going into second semester, I can take a lot that I learned last semester into it. First off, I know that I do not need to leave a half hour early for class because I know that I will be sitting outside waiting. I know how to plan out my day and I learned that office hours really do help. I was so scared to go to office hours to talk to my professors, but they really to respect you for coming and are more willing to help you if you come to them. Last semester was a lot of trial and error, but it definitely helped me prepare for my second semester. I also learned that I needed to get more involved, which I have already done before the semester starts by taking on leadership roles. Getting involved is the best thing to do at college. It gives you something to do; you will make tons of friends and you will always be busy!
The next few days that I have at home I will cherish and prepare for my next semester. I am extremely excited but so nervous at the same time! I hope second semester is everything I am hoping for and that I love my classes and professors!
Good luck next semester!
