When summer break first began, I was excited to get away with from Ball State. All I could think of was no homework, tests, professors, or papers. Sure, I'd be working, but it was a much-needed break. Yeah, it only took about three weeks for me to want to go back to my beloved college.
With five weeks until my return to Ball State, I thought I'd talk about why I'm so happy to be starting my sophomore year.
First, there are my classes. Yes, I'm actually excited for the school part of it. Though I'm taking 17 credit hours this fall semester, I'm finally starting to get into my major courses. I took general journalism classes freshman year that were mandatory. Now, I'll be taking classes geared towards public relations work, which I'm excited to explore. I've also taken a few classes to help me possibly narrow down a minor. It'll be a lot of work, but I'm looking forward to it.
What is college without my friends? I had fun during summer, but I haven't gotten to see a whole lot of my college friends. I can't wait to see everyone and catch up on their summers and start our college adventures back up. It'll be nice seeing everyone and having them all super close to hang out with.
With the start of school, it also means that my clubs/activities are starting back up. I can't wait to get back on the Quidditch pitch and play with my teammates again as we prepare for the upcoming season. I'll be working with clients for Cardinal Communications. On top of those two, I'm an apprentice board member for a student acting company, Busted Space, and I'm hoping to get more involved in BSU Byte.
I've also promised myself I'm actually going to go to more events this year. I wasn't able to make it to a single sports game, so I'm looking forward to doing that. I want to go to events hosted by residence hall and be more open to trying more things around college.
All this plus more has me pumped to get back to school. Lucky enough I get to move back in August 12th. So, Ball State see you in less than a month. I'll be ready to start my next chapter with you.
