I have been at school for about 3 weeks now and so much as happened since this summer:
First, I am all set to graduate this Spring. I have completed my audit, and I even have my classes all picked out for next semester. It is absolutely crazy to think that in 8 months I will be graduated from college and beginning my adult life; it is scary, exhilarating, exciting, and sad all at the same time. The plus side is this semester has made me more confident than ever that I chose the right major and I want to spend the rest of my life doing PR. I absolutely love my classes and I finally feel excited to be learning and at school. It is a strange feeling to actually enjoy going to class and doing work, but it shows me that PR is what I was meant to do.
Second, I am studying abroad!!!! Due to an extremely random, accidental scenario, I found out that there was a J-Term to Rome and Malta to study immigration and human rights, and it sounded super interesting. Thanks to my amazing and supportive parents, I was able to apply as soon as the application was posted online. Although it is not set in stone yet, I am extremely excited for this opportunity. It makes me a little more prepared to be graduating college now that I will have had the opportunity to go abroad. Plus, I will be spending my new years eve in Rome!!! It still hasn't set in yet, but I do realize how lucky I am for this opportunity.
Third, I am so so so so so happy to be reunited with all my friends. I really lucked out with the friends I made in college, and now I get to live with my 3 best friends. It is great to have people to stay up late and talk about life with, or someone to make you cookies when you are sick, or someone to watch Greek with when you have a bad day, or someone to celebrate with when we finish our first week of classes. It's sad to think that this is our last year all together, but I definitely plan to make the best of it!
