If you know me, you know I never stop talking about college. Freshman year was seriously the best year of my life. It felt so good to get out of California and attend college in another state, even if it's just next door. Honestly, one year of college can change you and shape you better than four entire years of high school, crazy right? I've learned so much this past year, I've met the most amazing friends, and I've had a great year educationally.
You'll never hear me talking about how I hate my school. If you ask any of my friends, you'll know I never fail to make a slip up and talk about my insane ride freshman year. From the insane parties to staying up till 4 a.m. studying for finals.
The parties are insanely fun, no doubt. I mean we are known for being the best party school. I have so much fun going out on Thirsty Thursdays with my friends, frat hopping, and just having a great time. Sometimes we go out with our guy friends and go to house parties. Sometimes we just like to kick it and go to No Anchovies or Espresso and relax there. Regardless of what we do, we can be doing nothing and I still would be having the best time. The best part is my dorm was close to University Blvd and not far from the frat houses.
I can't forget the love I have for the friends I met this year. Right when I met them, I know I'd have them in my life forever. I couldn't ask for a better group of friends. They've been there for me through everything. I miss them so much since we're all away for summer, but it's not too long till we all reconnect, and I can't wait for that. I know they won't let me falter. They have my back and I have theirs forever.
Not to mention how beautiful the campus is. The U of A has the most amazing sunsets. I thought California sunsets were beautiful, but Arizona sunsets top them (sorry Cali). Our campus is not too big so, in my opinion, I don't need to ride a bike or anything. The only problem is watching out for bikers who have no problem running you over if you're in their way. I love walking out on campus everyday and I never want to leave. The Union is obviously my favorite place since they have Cactus Grill. My friends and I always find ourselves there stuffing our faces in between classes.
I look back on my freshman year and I wouldn't want to change a single thing. Everything from the minute I moved in to the minute I moved out was indescribable. I'm happy to be home for a bit and hang out with my family, but I think it's time to go back to my second home. #beardown forever.
