In and outside the classroom I have been stressed, inspired, nervous, overly friendly, freaked out and even hit a streak of loneliness. So how did this begin to sculpt me as a person?
I've been challenged in every way possible: mentally, physically and spiritually. So many changes and opinions stretching me in so many directions takes a toll on a person.
My question for the week was: "Why is everyone hooking up?!"
Why does the ENTIRE freshman class feel the need to be in a relationship all of the sudden? For goodness sakes people WE JUST GOT HERE. Slow the hell down a bit. What ever happened to just being friends?
The one thing that I know for certain is that I don't know who I am. I have been blessed with this fresh beginning and am trying to be outgoing every chance I get to reinvent myself. I've tried so many new things like Jitterbug Club and I even slept in a cardboard box tonight! The Habitat for Humanity program sponsored a "Cardboard City" night where Brittany, Kiley and I constructed our mansion which was eventually torn down by envious bystanders. In all honesty though, the creativity and compassion that is produced by the students and community of Athens sometimes literally astounds me. Who else creates a city of cardboard to raise awareness for the homeless? (Well actually there are other places but it's still truly unique!)
Oh and here's a little secret no one tells you about college: everyone gets lonely. You just have to keep in mind that you're in a totally new place, studying new things, meeting new people every single day. Take a deep breath, realize that we're all going through the same thing and stop freaking out.
Now the next question on my mind... what in the world shall I be for halloween?! :D
