Second semester is now in full swing! This is always my favorite time of the semester: early enough where the workload is still fairly light, but you’re a couple weeks in so you have a good routine going.
Surviving Second Semester
I officially moved back into my dorm this past Monday night and classes started bright and early Tuesday morning! This semester is Go-Time. Fall semester was a very emotional, stressful, and eye-opening semester for me; I didn’t have as much time for blogging as I would of liked, and it left me with a lot of things that I need to consider. But the biggest thing fall semester left me with was the absolute need to kill it this semester!
I LOVE crafting. I'm obsessed. I could sit in my room painting things and pouring glitter until my hands turned numb. The problem with doing this in the 10ft x 8 ft dorm room is that theres not too much space to glitter as my heart desires.
Apartment Hunting
Life has been hectic with midterms, my job and mourning over the loss of not being in a sorority. It's safe to say there have been plenty of late nights, devoured brownies, and time spent watching season after season of Grey's Anatomy.
Back on Campus
The first week of my freshman year I may have been the only one who was not homesick; and I didn't feel homesick until our laundry room in the basement flooded (for the first time). But this year is different. When I was at home I actually made attempts to spend time with my parents - because I actually wanted to. Weird, I know. My relationship with all of my parents (child of divorce) strengthened this past summer, and it was a lot tougher to leave.
Sophomore year is two weeks away! I cannot believe it. I feel like just yesterday I was touring colleges excited about the future, but nervous to leave my high school bubble. Now I'm anxiously waiting to return to campus.
Last year I invested over $100 into a north face backpack because I had always heard that those are the best. I was sadly mistaken. Only one binder and my laptop fit into the backpack, and I could barely squeeze my water bottle into the side pocket.
