A little prelude to why I thought I would hate college:
Growing up and to this day, I struggle with anxiety so leaving for college and leaving my comfort zone was a very scary concept. I never wanted to go to sleep-away camp and I struggled having sleepovers. I would get very uncomfortable and simply wanted to go home and be with my family (including my dogs). Luckily, University of Miami was my dream school; I think I would have struggled at any other school. As soon as I got my dorm room set up, I couldn't wait for my parents to leave and start my new college life. A switch flipped once I got here; obviously I have had moments of feeling home sick but I find that very natural. Anyway, ON WITH THE ARTICLE ABOUT WHY COLLEGE IS AWESOME!
1. No rules!!
Go to bed when you want! Come home when you want! Should you make your bed? WHO CARES IT'S ALL YOU BABY
2. So. Many. Friends.
Especially as a freshman, everyone wants friends. Pretty much everyone is super friendly and walking around campus I say hi to everyone because why not right? I love friends.
3. Uber Eats/Postmates/ whatever whenever you want
I have had sushi every night for the past week. Not even mad. I could have chipotle too.
4. There are like so many dogs on campus <3
Every time I walk to class I probably see at least one dog and honestly its just amazing.
5. I actually know how to manage my time now
This one took a second to get a grasp on. Because theres so much freedom you have to learn how to manage your time! I like to use lists idk. This is probably one of the best skills I've gained since I've got here, besides photoshop.
5. Infinite Summer
We live in Miami, I mean, come on. Every day is gorgeous.
Thats it. Moral of the story is: I LOVE COLLEGE!
