Words cannot even begin to describe my first semester in college. It feels like just yesterday that I was hauling large boxes into this dorm room and beginning my life in College Station. I stand here today completely finished with all of my finals in awe of the past few months that quickly passed. I have grown up and matured more in this place than I ever expected. I feel stronger, smarter, and much more spontaneous. College is a strange place. You figure out who you are and who you want to be. You learn how to study and you make every event a social one. You become best friends with your neighbors and represent your sorority letters throughout campus. You eat too many unhealthy meals in the Commons and buy-out Rattlers before Christmas break. You spend nights without sleep and countless hours in the library. You join organizations and participate in events that undoubtedly change your life. You meet people that make you want to be a better person and provide you with unending days of laughter. You cram. You create. You connect. You collaborate. You calculate. And you CELEBRATE. College is the best place in the world. As I shuffle through my dorm room, pack up items for the holidays, and glance back at previous blog posts, I am reminded of the whirlwind of events that took place this semester. The joys of Rush Week, the anticipation of MSC Fish Rev. Night, the excitement of the date parties, the cheering at football games, the pennies placed on Sully, the intensity of the Powder Puff Tournament, the ending of Thanksgiving Day traditions, and we can’t forget the dreadful studying during Finals Week! I feel beyond blessed to be a part of two organizations that I love: Tri-Delta and MSC Fish. I have met some of my very best friends on this campus and can’t believe I have to go a month without seeing them. I have had many successes and I have made plenty of mistakes, but I have had the time of my life throughout the journey. The ending of this semester is very bitter sweet for me. Sweet, because I couldn’t be more excited that my finals are complete. Bitter, because I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. My freshman year of college is now halfway over. Next semester will bring several new stresses, but a million more memories. As for now, I leave this town feeling blessed, exhausted, and very successful. It is time for a relaxing and joyful Christmas Break in Sugar Land with my incredible family and friends. Let the celebration begin!
