Fresh Start

Sophomore year.

Fresh Start

New year equals a new me. As the beginning of school inches closer and closer, move in day is upon us. The struggles of getting everything settled and situated for the upcoming year lingers on and on which is an exhausting process. Having multiple trips to Financial aid, Bursar, Housing, etc. Having to wait in long lines while you're there making you and whoever came with you go from one place to another just to find out you needed it from some other department. Trying to squeeze every penny they can out of you. I know from personal experience for the last three weeks my mother and I had been dealing with it. Yes I said THREE WEEKS, we wanted to get a jump start to make sure when it came to me moving in I really wouldn't have to wait but only for them to let me in my room. It was almost like that but then we had found out some things that they really should have told us back in May or June that we didn't find out until the beginning of August so, which was also my fault as well but that made going up to school hell and didn't really make my mother to happy with me. Then we found out that since my mother works for the state I could've been receiving and extra discount on my tuition so me and my mother were both pretty irritated when we heard that. Things have a way of working out. So after all of that, I was getting my room and things the person I was suppose to be roommates with wasn't my roommate anymore for whatever reason, so that was irritating then there were tons of problems with my room so I just went home and came back the next day with the intentions to talk to someone about it; but as I walked into the dorm the dorm director was like since we made a mistake and you and the guy that was suppose to be your roommate weren't in the same room if you want to, we can move you into another dorm and you two can be roommates there. So, I went to go see the room and that room was better than my previous room so I jumped on the opportunity and now we're here with a better room and the roommate that I want.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
