Ode to my Freshman Year

I am almost done with my first year in college. Oh my. I am so happy to be almost crossing the finish line. I will not miss you College Park. Nor Wicomico Hall. Nor community bathrooms. Nor the drunk kids on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Nor the dirty girls who don't wear shower slippers. Nor my petty Professors. Yup. I will gladly take these three months off and not dare think about school.

Every semester I make a list of goals and theres only one thing written on it: To get all As. 

And every mid-semester I change my list of goals to something more attainable: To make it out the semester without having to repeat a course.

My school is ridiculously hard. My one-credit class is simply impossible, and every so often I seriously contemplate transferring to an HBCU (no offense, you HBCU-ers). This was my first semester taking classes to satisfy my Journalism major, and I HATE them! They are my most boring and hardest classes. But I survived, and I have finessed. I just have one more exam and I will officially be a college Sophomore.

This semester I learned that I have to able to know how to speak in order to get what I want and need.  I also learned that friends are unnecessarily necessary, and that I need a roommate. I learned that eating three times a day gives me a nice figure. I found out that I have very off days appearance-wise. I learned how to budget my money and give exceedingly. I learned how to say no. I learned that I could never be a party girl even if I tried. I learned that social media takes up too much of my time. I learned that I may not be that great of a writer. I almost learned how to balance my life. I learned that boys are very sucky. And I think that is all.

Last semester, I was very proud of all my mistakes. I felt like a big kid doing big kid things. This semester is much more of a blur. I started off strong, as I always do, then I got cocky and started slacking off, as I always do. Having off days in college can set you back a whole lot I've realized. I wish my transcript didn't have any C's on it, but at this point my motto is "C's get degrees."
