Wow okayyyy. Hmmmm, I don't know where to begin.  (I just realized I start a lot of blog posts with that).  I just finished my first semester of college! WOOHOO!!!!111! I still feel like I'm a freshman in high school...okay I wouldn't go that far...but you get the point.  It feels as though I have been here for years, when in actuality it has been 3-4 months.  But in just those few months SO SO much has changed.  I am definitely different than I was when I started college, Im not sure if thats a good or bad thing...but its a thing.

Lets see...I ended the semester with 4 A's and 1 B, I think I know what I want to do with my life (maybe?¿), and I no longer get lost on campus (usually).

Before coming to college I didn't think I had anything to figure out about myself...I thought I knew myself pretty well, when in reality there is so much I am figuring out.  I have a lot about myself that I have come to like...but an equal amount that I feel like I need to work on.

The first month of college I didn't really know or talk to anyone.  I had Ana Sofia, Maria, my friend Josh and Inshal.  I felt like I really didn't need any more people in my life, but when I went through a significant change in my life I realized that wasn't true.  When the one person I leaned on for everything left I realized how wrong I was.  So now I have more than just a few friends, I know a lot more people in different places and plan on that group growing next semester.

I now understand what my friends were talking about when they said that college never slows down, because it never does.  I used to think I was really good at studying, and compared to my friends I was, but college has taught me to really step up my game.

One thing that I have really learned is how to make myself have fun when I don't know anyone.  That was a skill I lacked before college. Not only did I only hang out with my core group of friends, I also would just tap out as soon as I was uncomfortable.  Now any opportunity I have to meet new people I take.  

This first semester has taught me a lot about myself, about what I want, and about what I still need to figure out.
