With spring break already going on for many college students, mine is right around the corner. As I board the plane to Europe this week, for some reason all that's on my mind is summer. I guess this is because there is basically only a month left of my first year of college and I mean it doesn't get more exciting to get that first year under your belt. Here are my thoughts heading into the end of the first year.

1. In one month, I will no longer be the "freshman" on campus.

"I remember coming into this year feeling so young and fresh."

2. I should probably get a job

Now that I actually have free time, its time to make the big bucks.

3. Crying when you realize your schedule for next year means no sleep.

Let's begin with a 7:30 am bio lab.

4. At this rate, maybe I should be a 5th year

Sometimes you just need a little motivation to keep pushing through.

5. New start, new semester

A clean slate is the best new start.

Overall, I have had a great year and am looking forward to the years to come. There are wonderful people and amazing memories. There is no doubt I made the right decision coming to the College of Charleston. After all, it is Americans most beautiful college campus.
