Today marks my first full month of my freshman year, college experience went well. I have enjoyed the freedom and responsibility of making my own decisions. I have met so many people and encountered a group of people that turned out to be very great and close friends of mine. I have a found them to be very entertaining yet a supportive group who I see myself growing with. They are all looking to achieve an ultimate goal which makes my freshman year an even  better experience, because I am surrounding myself with positive influences early on and working with a diligent group of people. I will say that I have been a little homesick because I am leaving behind two sisters and a brother. In the beginning before I left for school, I was so eager to leave because our household was so crazy. My brother and sister would always wake up at seven in the morning screaming and running around, playing with each other. I could never get the full amount of sleep I wanted. Now, being away at school I re have realized just how much I actually missed being waken up to all of the ruckus. I have been balancing my work study accordingly and still be able to have time for fun!

  1. I can absolutely relate to where you're coming from. I know, doesn't it feel weird not waking up to the crazy house you're use to living in? You longed all through high-school to hurry up and be able to go off to college. Now you're here and you just think to yourself "Dang I miss home." I can feel you when it comes to not getting enough sleep, only I didn't get enough sleep cause I'd wake up from hearing my mom yelling and making noise haha, not my siblings. Either way it goes though, I guess that's a person would fill when they've been so use to one thing then all of a sudden it all changes.

  2. I know exactly how you feel with having a lot of freedom. No more having a curfew, I can do my chores when ever I want to and I don't have to here adults nag at me anymore. I'm not going to lie, I do miss home sometimes but I have to realize that I'm here for a reason and I cant think about that. Also, I can see where you are coming from with surrounding yourself with people who about the same thing that you're about. Having a roommate with the same major as you is very helpful because we can help each other out when needed.
