As the first week of second semester comes to a close, I would like to reflect on how this week went. I reflect on the successes and the struggles and praise God that the week is over. As I sit here and jot my thoughts down, I realized that my feelings towards this first week can best be described by two of my favorite people: Sam and Dean Winchester.
1.
The drive down here was pretty fun! I was so full of life and excited to start another semester...and now I am ready to lay in bed for the rest of my life.
2.
The first day of caf food is always the worst. You sit there angrily eating soggy fries and greasy pizza while thinking about the month of home cooked for you just had. I would love to say it gets better, but the only thing that changes is instead of anger, you head into the caf with depression.
3.
It is the first day of class and you finally receive your syllabus and well lets just say that I am with Dean on this one.
4.
The teacher goes over the syllabus and just when you think it can't get any worse...they start to lecture. This is the exact face I have 2 hours after my Spanish class and I think my face will be frozen like this all semester.
5.
You made it through your first day! You go back to your dorm and propel yourself onto your bed and wait for your roommate to arrive. Once they do, they ask you how your day was. Since it is too early in the semester for a therapist, they are doomed to hear every detail about your day, but thats okay because 2 hours later when you are finally done, they get to tell you about theirs. That is the real reason college has roommates.
6.
So your roommate has become your therapist, it is week one and you are already crying, and you are already debating whether college is worth it. It is probably time to go to your next plan whether that is plan A or plan Z. Just remember, the average college students changes their major 6 times (or something like that). I am currently on number 2 and I am hoping for the best.
7.
Even though we survived our first week, we still have 14 more weeks to finish the semester and even more to finish our degree. So I suggest instead of crying all day about the week ahead, get on Netflix and watch Supernatural to fill your heart with joy!
