First Year Complete!

I am officially done with my first year of college! I had my last class this morning. After I finished my final presentation, I was completely done. It’s a very weird feeling. I’m one of the last of my friends to finish their school year, so at this point, it doesn’t feel that impressive. I was one of the first to leave, and now I’ll be one of the last ones back. I have to be here until Tuesday because I have my first RA duty. I am so ready to go and settle back in at home. I’m planning on celebrating tonight and when I get home. To be completely honest, this semester was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. The second hardest was the first semester. I haven’t really struggled with much so far in my life, but college is really hard. There is so much work, and it all feels so important. My energy was constantly drained, and I was so ready to give up. Thirty weeks is a lot of time to be fully locked into learning. High school was always just a requirement for me. I had to go, but I didn’t have to try very hard. Here, I feel like if I miss one thing, I’m going to die. I have such a range of emotions about leaving. I really don’t want to give up our apartment. I really don’t want to leave my floormates or my friends. I’m going to miss talking about clothes and trends all day. I need to play golf. I need to see my hometown friends. I need to see my parents. I need to be with Violet. I’m going to enjoy this last weekend here. I have so many sports events to watch. Free Scottie! I have to watch the PGA Championship as much as I can. There is an F1 race too. I wish this weekend was next weekend and next weekend was this weekend. I want to be home to watch this with my dad and Treston. I think I’ll miss the city after a little while. I am definitely a little burnt out for now, but I’ll miss it. I love having everything at my fingertips. To anyone I met this first year, thank you! It has been fun. I’ve met some really cool people from around the globe. I’m not a big fan of change, so I wish I could spend the next three years with you too! Sorry for a short post, but I really want to take a little time to myself and celebrate! Happy Friday and see you soon!
