Last semester took some L's but now I'll bounce back... here are the top five things I'm looking forward to second semester!

1. Becoming closer with my flatmates

First semester is always awkward. No one understands each other yet and our weird antics haven’t fully shined through. With second semester creeping around the corner I’m excited to spend more time with the people who have become my second family.

2. Yoga class every Monday

I promised myself that college would not only be a place of academia, but a place where I can begin to focus on my self and who I wish to become. The best way to feel enlightened to do so is through rest and relaxation and although the college lifestyle is hectic and stressful, this will be my way of finding sturdy ground.

3. Taking classes geared towards my major

As a person who prefers writing over math equations, it will finally be a breath of fresh air to not worry about core requirements and start getting focused on the things that truly interest me.

4. Going on adventures

First semester was a confusing time in which it took me a while to completely settle down and find my way, but now that I have, I am excited for the spontaneous drives through North Carolina, unexpected camping trips and discovering places I never thought possible. All with my best friends of course.

5. Meeting more people

Rather than confining myself to just running and being apart of a team, my goal this upcoming semester is to get more involved around campus and willingly introduce myself to as many people as possible.
