Here's To My "New" School Year

It's like I am a puzzle that the pieces won't got back together and no matter how hard you try it just never works out

Here's To My "New" School Year

Freshman year was a year that I will never forget and that's not a good thing. To sum it up my freshman year sucked. I was sad, alone, and scared. I was positive that I would leave those feeling in the past but unfortunately that it isn't the case.

My sophomore year started out like everyone else's happy and eager to begin a new chapter and trust me when I say that nobody was ready for that as much as I was. I was so determined to give this year a go and it would all work out little did I know it would all be the opposite.

I can't really describe why I am feeling like this. I can't really tell you what is going on. And that is because I don't know. It's like I am a puzzle that the pieces won't got back together and no matter how hard you try it just never works out. The truth is I am sad. This is a repeat of last year and I am heartbroken and disappointed by that.

Things haven't really gone the way I hoped for. I don't really have friends, I don't really have plans with friends, and I definitely haven't found love. All things that I had hoped to change this year haven't changed. Am I frustrated? Yes. Am I mad? Yes. Do I feel defeated? Yes.

But while it may seem like a hole full of darkness I have hope that maybe things will change. It's not fun being sad and wishing for a way out but you can't find one. It's exhausting mentally and physically. I have held on to the little bit of hope I have left and I will continue to hold on to that hope and hopefully one day I will finally achieve all I have wanted college to be.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
