A New School Year At VCU

Here we are again, in the midst of a new year at college. Considering the past years have flown by I plan to make this one last a little longer. I want to make more memories, have unforgettable nights and maybe less nights that are a little fuzzy. I want to take more pictures, eat more pizza, and truly enjoy living with my best friends.

I am sure there will come some point this year where I am in the library stressing out. Possibly on the verge of a mental break down, maybe in the middle of one. Who knows honestly, its the element of surprise that really makes the stress genuine. I hope this year I wont actually write down in big letters, “SPRING BREAK” in February instead of March (Oh wait, I already did that). I wont lose the caps to my highlighters. I will remember to print things at least 24 hours before they are due and maybe, just maybe, I will always have a pencil for scantron exams.

I hope to make incredible memories with my best friends. We will save every snap chat story so we can relive our nights out. We will take pictures at the beginning of the night, when we all look nice. And yes boys, that includes you, you'll have to force a smile in more this year. We will try new restaurants and make new friends. We will go on adventures when we are suppose to be doing our homework and regret it later that night. We will have fun, this is the time of our lives and we will take it all in.

I am also going to work my ass off. Even if I don't want to believe it, I am sort of an adult. I'm going to work hard at my job every week so I can pay rent. Even though I'm broke as shit after the 1st of the month there is little pride in there in somewhere that I earn the right to live here. When I worked a double shift and my swollen feet are climbing three flights of stairs to get to my living room Ill be greeted by my roommates who have already ordered pizza and are ready to watch the Bachelor.

Maybe none of this will happen or maybe a miracle will occur and it will. Regardless, I know a perfect year isn't easy to achieve but I will be totally satisfied trying to make this best of this next year.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
