First Day of Class

Hey readers! Just wanted to give a quick update about my college adventures. I started the second semester of my sophomore year today (is this real life?). There is always a part of me that gets super nervous about the first day of school, but today was different for me. I knew that I only had Communication classes today, and it made me feel at ease. I think that is a good indicator that I'm in the right major. I felt super comfortable in my two classes today, and I have a good feeling I'm going to like my two other classes tomorrow. I'm sure there will come a point in this semester where I'll say, "I'm actually going to drop out this time" (because it always happens - sassy, college girl probs), but I think that feeling won't be as overwhelming this time around. Today I also got to spend time with my beautiful small group friends. I seriously love being around them because they are all so encouraging. Tonight we just spent time hearing about each other's breaks and playing fish bowl, but even in those casual moments with them I still feel so close to God. I'm so glad I found a group of friends to love me through these four years of overwhelming college life, and I'm glad I ended this first day back with them. 

I feel so fortunate for this opportunity. I know I take it for granted sometimes, but I do realize every day how blessed I am to be here doing what I love. I love to learn. I love COM Studies. I love Spanish. I love Wilmington. This is such a sweet season in my life. I've made such wonderful friends and memories in the past year and a half here, and I know my college years are ones that I will always remember. I'm going to try my best to write as often as possible. Last year went by so fast, and I don't remember a lot of what happened. This is going to be an exciting year for me, and I want some words to remember it by. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I love writing them. 

Before I wrap this up, I want to give a BIG birthday shout out to my sweet friend, Abbey! Even though we just met this year, I feel like I have known you for my whole life. We clicked instantly, and I know our friendship is going to continue to grow over these next two and a half years. You are so sweet and so encouraging, and I'm blessed to know you! I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow because you deserve it!!! I love you SO big! 

That's all I have for tonight, friends. Until next time!
