Freshman Year is coming to an End

Well everyone, I officially have 6 days left of my freshman year of college. WHAT. I can't believe how fast time has flown in these past 5 months. It seems as if 'fast forward' was pressed on an ancient VCR and here we are at May 2nd.

**For upcoming college freshman: after Christmas break (when you're home for like a whole month with no worries at all and when you finally get used to living back at home, it's time to go back to school - yeah, that break) everything goes into a whirlwind and before you know it, it's 5 months later and you're sitting in your dorm room thinking about the last 9 months of your life.

My roommate, Katie, and I always joke that we have lived together "long enough to make a baby." Don't worry, no babies have been made, but it's true- you share your room with someone for 9 whole months and they become your best friend, at least that's how it has been in my case. It's bittersweet thinking about packing everything up and leaving the room like we were never here at all. Wow, that took a depressing turn.

Thinking about these past two semesters, I have experienced some really great things that I will always remember. Luckily, I have this blog to document my whole college career on! I have met some amazing people (including my future roomie, Laura!), explored the city, took an epic camping trip, and learned some fantastic things I never expected college to teach me. There has been so much more, but I would be highlighting everything in the blog with links- do check out the highlights!

**For upcoming college freshman: Really cherish those moments that you have never experienced. Before coming to UNCC, I had never been to Charlotte, with the exception of touring the campus. It has been so good to me. You're only young and in college once, so take A TON of pictures!

I am so ready to see what my sophomore year has in store for me. I can't wait to share it with y'all- new dorm room, new roommates, new classes, new friends, new experiences. I'm looking forward to all of it! I'm hoping for an on-campus job for the upcoming year- keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. I am also excited to announce that I will have a kitchen in my dorm room! So stoked about that. I never realized how much I liked making my own food until I didn't have a kitchen to use. Don't worry, I already have Pinterest recipes to try.

Next Friday, I will be hauling this part of my life back home for the summer! Before any of this happens, my roomies and I have some pretty fun things planned to celebrate our last few days together. Movie nights and breakfasts at IHOP are in the very near future. It's going to be so weird not having someone to carry on 2 o'clock in the morning conversations with, because as we all know, 2 o'clock in the morning conversations are the best conversations to have.

Thanks for reading and basically going through my freshman year with me. Going into this blog, I never realized how special it would be to me. I'm so happy I get to share my experiences with you guys. I'm looking forward to updating you all very soon about move-out and summertime! To all of my college friends: kick finals week in the butt!
