While this summer has been great it's time to start thinking about the books again and get ready for another year. After my first year of college I knew I had to go back after summer, although staying home and having to go back is something I am completely not used too yet. 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.

I am less than a month away from moving back to campus, what a fast summer. Sleeping in until 10 a.m. and eating endless food with your girls is all about to come an end. Although it was an interesting and fun summer. The best thing about my summer was spending long nights with my best friends and gathering around with family.

Summers can be around vacations, but this summer was full of making money, babysitting, and watching Netflix. Now I notice it's another year of hard work and dedication. Having a summer break definitely was fun and all, but I am so ready to take on another year. I kind of miss those five page essays and the late nights studying. Not all the time, but sometimes it feels nice knowing I am going to school to better myself.

The only thing I am not ready for is saying goodbye again to my siblings and to my mom. My family is here with me everyday 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.

When it comes to goals and school, I have priorities, and that can go a long way if I work hard. 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 stressful and damaging time transitioning. This year I am going to turn that around and fix every part of it. I am highly excited and positive this will be my best year yet in college.

Thanks to those who have helped me transition into college but my second year is all on my own this time. No more relying on others, it's time to rely on myself. You all believed in me, and now it's time to believe in myself.

So 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 12 page paper and I am not afraid to read 100 pages in one night. Let's just say, "IT IS ON."
