Hello readers! I am excited to be writing about this time of year...I am actually lying. I don't know what I am feeling at this moment. It is a weird time for me, since this is the first time I won't be going back to college.
It is funny because two years ago I transferred to UAlbany and it was the best decision I ever made in my college career. I was not happy where I was before, and if you are reading this and you are not happy where you study. Leave! I say that with all sincerity in my heart, being miserable is not fun for you or anyone around you. I used to sit in a dark room glued to my laptop, and my friends would basically try to drag me outside until they finally gave up. I knew my heart was not where I first chose to study, and I was so freaking scared to leave where I comfortably uncomfortably resided. Making new friends, adjusting to a new setting, finding a job, getting involved in extracurricular's, were thoughts that steered me away from wanting to transfer at first and freaked me out about the idea.
However, I realized change is not so bad and keeps us open-minded. I did a 180 when I arrived at UAlbany. I made friends for life, adjusted pretty quickly to the active scene of the school, joined a kick-ass dance team that I later became the treasurer of, and got a job that carried me until I graduated. Transferring was never in my plan, I wanted the next four years when I was a freshman to be filled with happy memories and love. Instead I learned many lessons, lost some people, gained knowledge, and realized my self-worth. But the one great thing I took with me as a freshman are my amazing friends, that we make it our mission to stay in contact.
College was amazing and I am a little nostalgic this morning because it is truly a beautiful thing, that no one should take for granted. It isn't meant for everyone, but its okay. College was a time of turn up, studying, dancing, some "lost memories," and moments you carry for life.
Welcome Back!
