I'm doing 17 things
So I am in my fourth year. I have a year and a half to graduate because I changed my major a few times (started out pre-med > mass communications> spanish where I stayed). Even though I am graduating late and my parents are annoyed, I am glad that I found what I truly love. I wasn’t happy in my other majors but I am really happy with Spanish now.
I am trying to live my life fully. I lived in the all freshman dorm my first year and made a ton of friends (granted, most were a bad influence…) then rushed a sorority and got around people who were a really good influence. I lived in the house and then moved off campus my junior year for one semester. Then last spring I went to Spain for a semester (to study Spanish more) and had such an amazing time! I stayed into the summer and all together I was gone for 5 months abroad. I’ve worked on two books while in college, one abondoned, but one almost done! I am still working on it now but it has 200 pages and only a few gaps that I am working on. SO lots of babbling but I am just trying to sort out my head. I want want want to graduate. It seems almost impossible with the advisors but I think I will be able to do it soon. I really want to be proud of my decisions that I make and be proud of who I am. Being in Spain taught me to be proud of who I am and gave me the drive to really want to be independent. It is so scary to know I will be in the “real world” in no time but I know that I can support myself.
I am so proud of myself for picking up my life (which was kind of a mess at the end of my freshman year) and putting it back together. I got out of a bad relationship, held single and rebuilt myself for a year and a half, and then recently met someone and finally started that part of my life again. We met in Spain (he is American though) and have been together for about 6 months now. He is so sweet and makes me feel amazing, not tears me down. I am taking good care of myself and maintaining my good grades. I am considering going to grad school, although I don’t think that is really what I want. I think an internship is important though, and I need to get on that, although I don’t have time for one this semester.
I am taking 16 credit hours (but after Spain I can handle anything, school was so hard there!) and still active in my sorority and still writing my book and having a very full social life. I am trying to do everything I can so hopefully when I look back I will smile and be proud.
Sorry I wrote SO much but I had a lot to say :)
