I Was Here

I'm Back! 'Bout time, huh? Well, my first few months in college have been... interesting. Very interesting.  It's actually more enjoyable than high school.  However, it's harder, but all you have to do is work at it, pay attention, and read the textbook. Actually read the textbook! Unlike high school where you can get away with not reading it.  In college, reading the material will help you a whole lot better, which I realized after the first two months.
In college, you have a whole new world around you.  The students are super nice and you meet someone new every day.  It's amazing and I just love.
There are also some stressful moments, like trying to figure out what classes to take next semester that won't make you want to pull out your hair and throw your books out of the window or stressing over a quiz or exam you decided to wait until the last minute to study for (I can honestly advice you to not do the latter, just so you know. Been through it and I am not doing it again).  In a lot of classes, your final grade depends on three exams or a few quizzes.  You don't get a lot of daily assignments grades like back in high school.  So, whatever you get on those FEW quizzes and exams, it will average out to be your final grade.  So you better get to work.

Thanksgiving break is next week and that means I get to leave Tuesday! I'm so excited.  I can't wait to go home and just relax for a few days, even though I know I'm going to have do some kind of reading for school *sigh*.  Anyway, I saved a huge bag of dirty clothes to wash at home (haha).  Don't judge; I'm a broke college students and the price is too high to wash and dry three loads of clothes ($1.25 to wash AND dry= a little too much).  I also can't wait for the good Thanksgiving food.  The food up here is getting kind of old and disgusting so it will be nice to actually have a home cooked meal.  I feel like Theo Huxtable from "The Cosby Show" when he comes home with a huge basket of laundry and rummaging through the cabinets for food.  When I look through the cabinets and see nothing there, I give them the Theo look:

"Where's the food?"

On a last note, here, in college, people have a lot more goals then the people back in my high school.  They all want to go out in the world and make a difference, which is what everyone should do.  They all want to leave their mark on the world, which is also a goal of mine.  I heard a song a few days ago that basically sums up what I just said. Hope you enjoy it.

"I've done everything that I wanted and it was more than I thought it would be. I will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here.  I just want them to know that I gave my all, did my best, brought someone some happiness, left this world a little better because I was here"- <<<< my favorite line in the song.
