My first year of college has been a very fun experience. I honestly never thought I would ever get here. Moving away from my little bubble back home and being on my own was probably the biggest step I have ever taken by myself toward being a full-fledged adult without my family being right there helping me out.
I remember the first day I moved into my dorm. I had some help from two of my siblings. They helped me get all moved in and when we were all done they left and I remember entering my room after saying goodbye to them and thinking to myself. I’m not going back home and I live here now.
I started missing my hometown and started having mixed feelings. I have been going to the same small school my entire life and after thirteen years I had to leave it all behind. So of course I would be a little sad to go away from it all. Then again I was very excited to finally get away. After thirteen years of the same walls and hallways, I was ready to experience something new.
But in the end, all the new things became my new normal and I have been loving my entire college experience thus far. I have learned many new things and have meet so many fun and cool people. But I also learned not to be afraid of the unknown and new things. But embrace it and enjoy every moment.
