My First Week

My first week of college. My first week of college at a public university. My first week of college at a public, CO-ED university. My nerves are through the roof! Of course, I was nervous but I was also really excited. So far, it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve made a few good friends with people in my classes, as well as my roommates. I find myself not really missing home as much as I thought I would. Sure, I occasionally think of my parents and my home in San Diego, but I’m not upset. I actually feel free. Free to be my own person, make my own choices, and actually be independent. I finally get the opportunity to prove to my parents that I can be on my own and not just survive, but thrive. This next step of my life starts…now.
