I had to write my first actual paper this semester, it was for my communications class. I had to envision myself as someone I wasn't. My professor randomly assigned people different situations. I was given a Quadriplegic. I'm pretty sure I did fantastic on this paper because I really became my character. So I think my Communications class will be easy for me, but my Algebra class is whole different story. I'm pretty sure I failed my first test :( But I guess it's just a lesson to be learned.

Do you ever wake up in the morning and realize that you are doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing for that present moment? I don't just mean getting up every morning and going to class, but that you're actually fulfilling what you were meant to? I'm beginning to feel this way...
I don't know about the rest of you, but I had a lot of uncertainty in high school with everything. Where I was going to school, what was the best way to fill out the applications, what friends you decide to let go of for the time being.
Though through all of this, I always knew what I wanted to try and DO in college and that was pre-med. I have had my heart set on that since I was really young. It's something that proved to me that it must be right.
It's nice to get up in the morning and feel right.

Boat tour?

I don't remember her mentioning if we're doing the glass bottom boat tour tomorrow, but she did say the syllabus is almighty. So based off of that I hope to see you guys at salt grass tomorrow morning

College

I feel so overwhelmed this week because i have 5 tests and a paper due. I feel crazy saying it but I'm already for the year to be over so i can go home and take a long break from school. I didn't really think college would be that different from high school but i have learned quickly that it is. The biggest change for me is being away from my family because we are so close and I'm the first one to actually leave home. Its weird admitting that i still need my mom because i guess i just felt like once you leave you would be independent but i still talk to her all the time and I'm constantly asking her for her opinion in my life. So thats my college experience so far :) 

I know it's late

but this blog is for my first week. I really have no idea what to write about so I'll just start writing. What I'm currently doing is an exercise called 'free writing' and is actually pretty fun. It feels good taking that mind filter away every once in a while, even if I have nothing interesting to say. College has been fun. Not the stressful hell hole all the high school teachers made it seem like, thankfully. I'm done now.

It's slightly odd.

. . . to think that eleven years ago today I was sitting in my 2nd grade class wondering what was going on.
Now I'm sitting in my College classes wondering. . . what is going on.
11 years ago I was in second grade. Wow, I'm getting old.

September 11th

I thought what we did in class today was really cool. We got to hear about everyone else's stories and what they remember or where they were 11 years ago when the twin towers fell. It was interesting to hear how it affected us in all different ways.

Collage

I have never been the one to talk in public or be very outspoken, but I hope that this semester, in a new place where I started out knowing virtually no one, I will get to the point where I am no longer kept to my own little shell.  Meeting all of these new people this first few weeks has been awesome.  I come from a super small town where everyone practically has known everyone their whole lives and I am glad that I have gotten to get away from that.  I hope a novel was not in the requirements...

Getting Adjusted

The entire summer i was so ready to move out of my house and be on my own. The thought of not having my parents nagging or breathing down my neck all the time sounded like heaven. But, when i finally got up here and and after a couple days on my own i started to get really homesick. One of my best friends who i was suppose to room with bailed out last minute so i ended up not having a room mate which is really nice, but can get kinda lonely haha. So, that was kind of a damper for a while but i have adjusted well. I never thought i would admit it but i miss my parents like crazy and didn't think it was gonna be so hard for me not to see them every waking day. I guess i realized being on my own that i depended on my parents for a lot of things and deffinatly appreciate all that they do for me so much more. As time goes on though i am getting more and more use to this lifestyle i am not use to and finding out what does and doesn't work for me.

Freshman year

What I expect to learn from this class and from my freshman year is what it's like to grow up. I feel like we are thrown into college and you really don't get any preparation. So this year I will really learn to grow up and see what it's like to be an adult. I'm excited to learn more about Texas State and go on the boat tour!

fresh start

To me, college is everything that I needed. I needed to get away from my small-town life, meet new people, move away from my family for a period of time, and most of all, do some serious soul-searching. My whole high school career revolved around so many different interests and I never had time to pursue enough of any of them. I couldn't be happier to be here at Texas State. I am so truly happy to be living in San Marcos. I definitely didn't want to go to school anywhere else in Texas. The outdoors are my sanctuary and San Marcos definitely offers so many ways to be outside in all seasons!

I love San Marcos for more reasons that one, but it is home to me and I am so fortunate to call it so. 

Well..

I hope I'm doing this correctly, I've never had to Blog before.
College is definitely different. I come from a very small tight knit high school, so adjusting to the size and massive amount of strangers has been tough.. but I'm getting used to it. I am happy to have some of my friends here to make me feel more at home. My classes haven't been too tough yet and I've found it very easy to talk to the people around me. So, yeah. This is my first attempt at blogging.

New School

Like everyone else, college is a brand new experience for me. So far everything has been exciting, new, and fun, but also challenging as well. The hardest part for me has been the severance of relationships back home. Many of my friends from high school are staying near our hometown or going to college elsewhere, leaving me knowing virtually no one on campus, which is a pretty disheartening experience. College also invites an exciting opportunity however, as I get to meet lots of new people and make many new friends over these next four years. I'm looking forward to joining organizations on campus and seeing how my classes turn out. Hopefully this will be a great semester!

College Life

I have been at Texas State since the middle of August, and I absolutely love it here!  I play the piccolo in the Bobcat Marching Band and I am so thankful to be a part of this group.  Also, I have recently been hired as a news reporter for The University Star.  I am glad that I have already become involved at Texas State, because I never have time to sit around and be bored.  We started classes this week, which I am not too fond of because I have terrible study skills.  It will be a challenge to get used to balancing my extracurricular activities with work and school, while still leaving myself some time to relax.  Everything that I have experienced here is so much different than high school.  The classes are more difficult and you are given a lot more responsibility.  Marching band and journalism are way more demanding.  You’re away from your family and friends back home.  However, I have found that dorm life isn’t all that terrible and the people you meet here are amazing. Football games are so much fun!  The best part is that you are given the freedom to be able to do all of the things that you love.  I’m excited to see what the rest of my freshman year brings my way!

First week of college

This is my first time ever blogging it's going to take me a little to get use to but here it goes. I servived my first week of college what a big differece from high school. My first day of classes I already had papers and quizzes due pulse all the books I had to buy. But I getting in the hange of things. Living in a dorm pretty cool but getting use to sharing with 50 other that still hard to get use to. I can't tell you how many people I have met in the pass seven days, I met more people now than in my life time. I having a lot of fun in college can't what to see what's in store this week.

Test Blog

I'm so excited to be teaching University Seminar again.  I can't wait to see how this class grows and develops over the course of the semester!
