Hey everyone!
Long time no talk! I am really sorry that I have barely posted any blog posts for you in what seems like years. I have been super busy adjusting to everything that has been going on but I want to let you know that I am back. I have decided that on Sunday morning's, I will just sit down and write blog posts for the week so you guys can have good content. So as you know, I am in college. Now I have a lot of interesting things that have happened to me. So let's get started on my first month at college!
August 30th: Move In Day!
Now this might sound really weird to some of you, but I really did not want to go to college. I was getting really nervous the week before and I just was scared that I was not going to like it. So I moved in a day before everyone else because I am in the Honors Program and that was an option that we had. So my roommate was moving in the next day, so I was basically alone for the night. It was extremely hard, I am not going to lie to you. My family is probably the most important aspect of my life and I love them to death so the fact that I was not with them anymore was going to be a big adjustment.
The rest of September!
So for the first week of September, I was crying all the time because I was really homesick. After the first week, I was fine. I talk to my family everyday but I am okay now that I have lived here for a month. So classes started on September 3rd. My classes are: History, Sociology, English, Math Explorations, and Intro to Social Work because I am a Social Work major. My favorite class this semester is my History class. I absolutely love my professor. I think she is a wonderful professor. I love History in general, that is one of my minors, so the whole time in class, I am smiling because I love learning about the history of our country and everything. If any of you have an questions on classes, you can tweet me and I will be sure to answer your questions.
Friends, friends, friends. So I was really nervous to make friends. Honestly, I don't know why now because I have an amazing group of friends that I love so much now, but in the beginning it was hard. For like two weeks, it was basically my roommate and I hanging out. Then, I met my best friend at college and that is Rachael. I met her at a social work meeting and we just clicked instantly. And then I started meeting up with people from my orientation group and then I had friends. Basically, making friends is tough in college and any where to be exact but you just got to wait it out and see where the road takes you.
Work load has honestly not been that bad. My professors spread them out pretty evenly so that your not being filled with homework day in and day out. My biggest recommendation is to check your syllabus. That is literally the holy grail to your classes. It tells you when your tests are, when homework is due, everything. I love my syllabus and that is a huge way of how I stay organized because I look at them almost every day.
Parties:
I will be the first one to tell you, I do not party. There is no explanation to why I don't party, it's just I don't do it. Me and my friends have more of a shin ding where we hang out, blast music, dance and talk. But we don't go out to like apartments or stuff to party. Just not our thing. We might eventually but not now. But that's okay. Even if your in college, you don't need to party because "everyone" is doing it. College is about independence and figuring out who you are, not going with the crowd.
Overall:
I had a pretty good first month of college. There were some ups and downs but in general I have had a lot of fun. If your in college and your still not having a good time or you are struggling with classes. It is okay. Give it time. I know it sucks now but soon it will get better.
I hope you all have an amazing day/night! Tweet me if you just want to say hi @SophiaReyes6.
Carpe Diem,
Sophia
