New Beginnings

Let's face it.  It's been a long time.  Whoops.

But this doesn't mean I can't start blogging again.  So I shall.  Ha.

I've been thinking about posting for a few weeks now, but I never sat down to actually do it.  Then a few of my friends started blogging and I thought I'd give into the invisible peer pressure and write a post (and actually try to keep up this time).  

College is cool, people!  Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.  Being at Belhaven University is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.  I think I finally broke out of my shell and found a place where I belong.  Life as a Creative Writing major/Dance minor is spectacular.  Yes, I switched my studies around.  While dance is nice, I found a better passion.  Much, much better.  And I've got the greatest pack of people surrounding me.  I don't know where I'd be without Karis, Christian, Sara, Michael, Josh, Connor, Kerry, Kristine, Erica, April, Crockett, Krista, Nicole, Kalisse, Trianne, Catherine, Morgan, and Adam, and that's only a portion of the people I consider family.  I never knew that so many people from so many different backgrounds could mesh together so well.  I guess one thing that tends to help is that all of us are completely insane.  Really.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Last semester presented a drastic change in my life.  I went from being the sheltered homeschooler to a full-fledged college student out in the world and far, far away from home.  The first month was bizarre.  I spent most of my time trying to adjust to a different life and throwing myself into my studies.  Sometime halfway through the semester, I found myself actually enjoying life on this end and creating new relationships.  By the end of 2013, I couldn't imagine being anywhere else.  And now: 2014.  I'm used to classrooms, social life, cafeteria meals, late nights, and really crazy weather.  This is my life, my new beginning.

Here I am. This is Me.

Yes.
