My First Week of College

This has probably been the longest week of my life. There has been too much going on to even keep track of it all. There were so many new people to meet, so many new places to see, and so much new stuff to get used to. So far, I have loved it. I moved in early and met my roommates the next day. Despite a few minor setbacks, we have all gotten along great. We decorated our common room with movie posters and a Hannah Montana rug, and our rooms are starting to feel more comfortable and more like home. My first week away from home has been weird, and I must admit that I've already had some homesickness. Luckily, I live really close so I was able to visit my family a few times already.

I wasn't able to make it to all of the Welcome Week activities, but the ones I did go to were a blast. The scavenger hunt was fun, and so was the free photo booth. Starting school was definitely a new experience. The only class I had my first day was this English class, and I loved the girls and my professor in it. English is one of my favorite subjects so I was pleased that it went well. The second day, however, I misread the schedule and missed three of my classes. Apparently TR next to your class means Thursdays AND Tuesdays. Who knew? That stressed me out quite a bit, but I got it worked out. For the most part, my professors were nice about it. College classes are definitely different from high school classes. I've always been a good student, but I find some of the classes here to be a little harder. I like the challenge though. I'm eager to see how well I can keep up with my classes.

Wednesday was Fun Fest, and I definitely enjoyed that a lot. I got tons of free food, and I won some sweatpants and a t-shirt (not going to lie, I love those sweatpants more than life). Within a week I already feel closer to my roommates and to some of the girls living on my floor. Even though I have homework already, I love college. It has been a great experience. It has definitely been a huge adjustment for me, but I feel excited and I can't wait to see what it has in store for me.
