Well College...

College! Where do I get started? Well, I have been in college for about 2-months and a half, and it feels so much longer. It feels like each month is a year, but what’s funny is the months are going so fast. I blinked at its November. I’m so exhausted. Half of it is from staying up doing school work, and the other half is because I’m always out doing something. I hate being in my room at 8:00 pm. I like being out whether if that’s out eating or just being in the library. That’s another thing that blows my mind. The library. I never thought I would ever go in there. I’M ALWAYS IN THERE. 2ND floor in Benner Library has slowly become the room I’m always in. If I text you saying I’m in the library, that’s where I am.
 
The school work is well awful. Actually it isn’t that bad. I feel like Davidson prepared me very well for the type of workload I have. I have a pretty good relationship with the professors and I know they are there for me if I need help. It’s great being in a school were people actually care if you are failing. I have a good amount of friends who are struggling in classes but their professor could care less about them. Think that’s what sets Olivet aside from other universities.   
                  The biggest challenge I think for me is being away from my dad. I really didn’t get homesick a few weeks ago. I’m counting down the days till I get to come home for thanksgiving break (12 days by the way).  But when I am home, I miss my other home. School. I love being here so much. This experience is the best thing to have ever happen to me. I have meet some of the best people I have ever meet in my life. I’m so grateful for everyone I get to call my friends. We have done stuff like go to Chicago, and watch the Cubs win the world series from the basement of the rec. It’s crazy how I few people have made this experience so amazing for me. If I didn’t have them I would probably be home right now trying to find a job because I would have dropped out. If I would have known that this would be my college experience, I would not have been so stressed as I was.
 

                  So overall College is amazing. And I’m so excited to be where I am with the people I am with for the next four years of my life. God has blessed me and I will be forever grateful.
