Week number six in college. Day number 43. Friendships are forming. Grades are starting to accumulate. Dorms are starting to feel more like home. The transition has been relatively smooth thus far. I am very lucky that I haven't had an extremely rough time adjusting to the new college life. Sure, it has definitely been a change but most of it I was prepared for.
I now have a close circle of friends that I mainly associate myself with, but I would like to broaden my circle. Socialize with more than a few groups of people. From day one, I was introduced to two groups. My athletic training and soccer families. Which also led me to meet a majority of the athletes on campus. I have hung around athletes my whole life, so it would be nice to explore new groups and get to know more people and their interests. I want to take advantage of the diversity on campus and familiarize myself with all of the social groups on campus. This is one goal that I hope to stick with over the next four years.
More and more things are starting to remind me of home. I don't believe that I have gotten the cliche home-sickness disease yet, however, certain foods or television shows. There have been other examples of reminders of home-life, but I am unable to think of them at the moment. However, watching a television show in my room that I used to watch at home with my family makes me miss just lounging around at home. Also, my mom makes this wonderful treat called apple salad and I actually was able to eat it at a restaurant I went to today. She would make this as a side to take to many family parties and gatherings, so it sparks memories from those events. I do miss my family, but I am so glad I have had the opportunity to go out on my own and explore the world by myself. Making my own mistakes, and learning from the consequences.
