That being home. It feels good to be back in my city. A city with breathing room. DC is just so cramped, but it does make it easy when it comes to transportation. Everything is right where you need it and within walking distance.
My first year of college was a rocky one. I can honestly say that I hated college for about the first couple of months. I had plans. Plans fell through. I made new plans. Those plans failed. Overall, I just felt like I had no control. Which is not far from the truth. I just learned (I am still learning) to be ok with letting God have that control.
College is the place where change and grow. For better or for worse is up to the individual. I get upset when people say, "Oh, [insert name here] went to college and got all brand new"
Yes, [insert name here] did because that is what college is for. It is a chance to be a new and better person because you are not confined to the box outlined for you at home. All of a sudden, you realize that you have the ability to be whoever you want because these people don't know you. Sometimes that best thing for a person is a blank slate, Tabula Rasa.
Now that the first year is over, I'm excited for the next year. Pre-pharmacy club, iPals, work...I have a lot planned, but I know, from experience, that God can and often does alter these plans.
after reading this post, i decided that im through....but maybe ppl say ppl get brand new because in reality its hard to re-invent your self specially to ppl who knew from back when...the sayin goes once a cheater always a cheater, i dont believe ppl should go to college and try to change themselves or create a new identity...
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, but I believe college is for changing and creating new identities. Or staying the same. It depends on if you are happy.
ReplyDeleteI also believe people are constantly changing, whether you know it or not, as the result of various experiences.
