First real post!

I am sitting at my favorite spot in the entire world- my kitchen table. It's so peaceful to look through the huge french window out to my inviting backyard. Everything's so green! It's weird that I'm all of a sudden back at my house, back to normal life, after living at school for two semesters. I remember thinking last summer how weird it was going to be leaving home and getting accustomed to new life at school, but now its just weird being back home!
College is most definitely a transition, in almost every way possible. You have to become accustomed to new living quarters, to living with someone you don't even know, to the different type of school work (in my case, much harder), to being away from home, and to learning how to stay true to who you are. The latter of this list is, to me, the most important, and could be the most difficult. So my tip for any incoming freshman is this: make sure you have expectations for yourself before entering college. Also, have an open mind! Sometimes, you just have to learn from mistakes, but I assure you, you'll find your niche. : ) Time to go get my workout on, haha! I'll post again soon!
