As I write this I'm standing at work and counting the days down till September 7th; the first day of going to Molloy. My mind always seems to travel to this topic over the last couple of months and I've had a couple of emotions about it. Some days I'll get so anxious that I feel that my stomach is about to run off my body and some I'll be jumping at a chance to buy items that will be helpful to me because I'm so impatient for it to begin. Overall, I'm mostly excited for this new change to my life.
My biggest reason for being excited is this group of girls that I met somewhere in January I believe. We all talk every day and we have gotten so close. It started with a group chat and a decision to meet up at Applebee's on a Sunday night during the school week, it was odd for me to go out so late during a school week but it was definitely worth it because I was able to see right then and there that I made the right choice Going to Molloy. These girls welcomed me into their arms like we knew each other forever and it really helped me in a time where I felt that a lot of my friends were starting to stray. We try so hard to hang out often but we can't really do it when we all live so far from each other. I can't wait till September 7th, when we can all walk onto campus and finally be where we all decided was the best place for us. Thank you to the girls that are there for me through everything; good and bad and I hope you guys feel the same and stay friends for a long time, no matter what majors we are
Another reason I'm excited is because of the curriculum. Obviously spending $600 for textbooks wasn't so peachy and getting a bill wasn't my idea of exciting, but my schedule reminds me of all the hard work I did in order to go to a great school for nursing and am able to start nursing classes right away. These topics are always something that can get me interested within seconds. I looked in my Anatomy and Physiology textbooks and almost drooled cause everything about our bodies is extremely interesting. I'm excited to have those nursing study groups because we're all desperately trying to pass a class and put in all of our efforts.
Molloy has everything that I've ever wanted. The small community is so welcoming and warm. I love the fact that I won't have to walk miles to get from one class to another or pass busy city like streets. Once I visited Molloy three years ago and I stepped foot on campus I knew that that was the surrounding that I wanted.
I had a really good experience with a tour guide two-ish years ago. He was so funny and lively that it made me feel that everyone was as happy as him. My mom and I laughed so hard at all his jokes all day that when I visited other schools I would whisper to her "This tour guide didn't steal a rock from the wall of China and sweat over it going through customs." Or "this guy Doesn't make commuting sound like it's better than dorming.". This tour guide really helped me push my decision to go to Molloy and I can't thank him enough.
In January I was so excited about moving on with my life to college that I created a Molloy group on Facebook and GroupMe and it was a slow start. I had one or two people join and then it was twenty-five. Slowly and steadily we all became really good friends, speaking every day and as that happened, the chat grew and grew until we reached 251 members, and still growing. I've met a lot of people through it and I'm so excited to share moments with my new classmates.
