Well, my freshman year of college is nearing the end and now with may term I have had a chance to reflect on my past year here at Redlands. I have learned my fair share of truths, be it through friends, experiences, school work, or simply adapting to a new way of life. I know that this year has not only made me more aware of myself but the things I need to do to live a happy and fulfilling life.
I started this blog so that I would never forget the feelings I felt those first few months of college or the friends that had got lost in the mix.
What I have learned about myself:
* I hate beer
* I cannot sit in a class for more than an hour and a half without getting distracted
* I love the sun
* I have a passion for tennis and love having it be apart of my college life
* Weather affects my moods
* Family is paramount in my life
* Shoes in the shower suck
* I missed the green trees
* I love wearing flip flops everyday no matter the season
* I can't have nothing to do. I go crazy
* I love the pre-cut fruit bar in the commons.. and get angry when I go home and am deprived
* I love being in a sorority
* Writing is my outlet
* I am learning to accept people for their flaws and admire them for their efforts
* I almost died during pledging.. but not quite~!
* I am thankful for the relationships in life and do not take them for granted
I have also learned how hard it is to maintain friendships. Not saying that in the taxing sense, but more so that it just takes effort. You have to call, leave a message, send an email or you'll end up losing ones that you didn't realize you actually needed to hang on to.
So I guess to sum things up, I have learned how to keep old friends and at the same time make new ones. New ones that I hope will turn out to be the kinds of friends that without constantly being around them, I will want call, leave messages, or email.
