Moving back onto campus this past weekend, it hit me that summer is officially coming to an end. The new school year is quickly approaching. While this summer was better than I thought it would be being home, I have to mentally keep telling myself I don't have a permanent home, but at least I have a place to always come home to.

Sleeping in until 10 a.m. and eating endless food with my best friend is all about to come to an end for a while. The best thing about my summer was spending long nights with my best friend and being around family.

I used to think summer meant how many vacations you could take, but this summer was full of making money, hanging with Michael Lind, A.K.A. the coolest person I know, and watching Netflix. Having a summer break definitely was fun and all, but I am ready to take on another year.

The only thing I am not ready for is saying goodbye again to my family, especially my little brother. My family has been with me every day and not having them around again is going to be hard. Every year is a learning process of me becoming an adult and every year also means new goals. This school year is going to be different for me, not because I want a change, but because I want better goals as a responsible educated adult.

This year I am dedicating myself to my education–not that I haven't already–but dedicating it harder than I ever have. You only get a certain amount of chances to make a perfect transcript and coming in as a freshman, I had a wakeup call about time management and setting priorities. This year I am going to turn that around and fix every part of it. I am excited and positive this will be a good year.

With that being said, goodbye happy summer and hello hard working school year, because I am so ready to kill it. I am not afraid to finish that six-page paper and I am not afraid to read 100 pages in one night. Let's just say, in the words of "Bring It On:" "Oh it is so on."
