packing boxes

        So here in a few days I will be heading home for Easter break. Since there are only two weeks of school left once break is over I decided to pack up some of my things I wont be needing. I was removing stuff off my bulletin board when it really hit me. My first year of college is about to be over. Looking at all the show tickets, pictures, cards, and fortunes from fortune cookies really made me see that this year was a good one. Through all the stress, test, and classes I made so many memories.

       Yes there are still three more years ahead of me but this first year I'll never get back. That nervous and scared feeling on your first day of classes, move in day and saying good bye to your parents, meeting your room mate and suite mates for the first time, and meeting so many others going through the same things as you...I still remember my first day as a college student. I had moved in early for band camp and only knew two other people in band. I met so many people that first week an a half before classes. I even met a wonderful guy I had no idea would become my boyfriend...

       This first year has been amazing. I've made so many knew friends that I look forward to see them all next year. Western Carolina has become my home and as I'm packing to go back to Winston Salem I get that feeling of a big change all over again. I have yet to decide if it is a good or a bad feeling but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. :)
