Reflecting on the Year

When thinking about this coming weekend, I cannot believe it will be Easter weekend, the middle of April. I will be done with school in about a month.  It is crazy to me that my freshman year of college is coming to an end.  I have to be honest and say that at the beginning of first semester, I thought this time would never come.  Originally, I had a very hard time adjusting to college life. Being the youngest in my family, I have always been "the baby" and treated in such a way.  Coming to college forced me to take on many responsibilities and face many situations I was not accustomed to dealing with.  For example, the simple tasks of doing laundry and deciding what to eat for meals was new to me.  But so was being all alone.  Coming from out of state, I knew almost no one going to college with me and had to completely start over making friends.  This has proved to be a great thing for me but was very hard to do in the beginning.  There were many times first semester I considered transferring to my hometown college.  My parents and siblings told me I was adapt and get used to college life and even begin to enjoy it, but I had my doubts.  However now, I totally see where my family was coming from. I can't imagine myself anywhere else at college.  Virginia Tech has really started to feel like a second home for me.
