College was a new start for me. I was able to branch out and make new friends. Sure, I stumbled a few times (heck, I fell flat on my face Sophomore year), but that's part of what life is all about. I was kind of lost those first two years as to who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. It was all so uncertain until Comp II with Dr. Laflin. He was my academic counselor, my friend, and most importantly, my inspiration. After a few weeks of being in the class I just *knew* that I was destined to be an English major, and I impulsively switched the next day. Let me just say that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made; I could not be happier in any other major. (I was pre-med before this!! and now all I can think about that is, "what the heck where you thinking?!?! Ha!) I love all of my classes and I appreciate all of my teachers who work so hard to come up with so many inventive and stimulating ideas and discussions...
My major change is not the only life-changing moment for me however...
Junior year: a fresh start. I was ready to build the person that I am today, so I worked myself so hard that at times, there were nights I'd stay up until 4:30 am just so that I would be "ready" to be my best the next day. I will admit there were times I thought I would never make it, but here I am, as a senior!!! Anyway, my junior year I finally started to take myself seriously and I took my friendships seriously, and there were times I was burned by fickle friendships, but sometimes the bad situations turn into good ones. There is one situation in particular that I can never say enough good things about... Stay tuned and I'll tell you the story next time! :D
Haha! wow... I really just ended with a cliff hanger? I'm so mean!!! Feel free to hate in the comments below ;)
