Jumping into the Unknown

Sooo...society says the transition to college is unlike any other. You're completely free from anything you've ever known. No one hovering telling you to do your homework, making your bed, or fixing Southern home-cooked meals (in my case). Crazy as it seems, this transition has been about as smooth as it can be. My room has stayed remotely clean, meaning I can actually see my floor, and I even made my bed after sleeping in it the first night. I'm completing my homework before class actually starts, and I even have fruit in the fridge. This makes college seem like a breeze. Well, to me, college is a breeze. However, every once in a while, theres that wind that whips through and throws you for a loop. Like, not even realizing I'd miss fighting with my parents at the dinner table until I have no dinner table to fight at in the first place. Another example: getting lost in the Vista for two hours trying to find Wild Wing even though I know Columbia like the back of my hand. Shelley, Taylor, Brennan, and I decided to go out on our own the first night because no one told us we couldn't. Getting lost at 11:00 at night was the last thing I expected to happen. But, doesnt that make the college experience what it really is? Getting lost, going grocery shopping, making new friends. Those are all major parts of what makes the memories these next four years. I can't really say what I expect of these next four years because, honestly, these past two weeks haven't been anything like I expected them to be. I would like to think I'll be involved, both in my sorority and other campus clubs, such as Greek Impact and the Global Business Organization. Another goal I have is to have fun, and lots of it. While I will have fun, I still want to be successful. As for now and until the next blog, everything is new to me, and I love it.
