Freshman Year in Retrospect

So, I am finally home from my first year of college. All I can say is, wow. This year has been full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and tears and laughter. Let's start out with classes. I finished first semester with a 3.4 GPA, and I haven't gotten my grades yet for this semester. I probably could have done better in a few of my classes. I did pass all of them though. I thought I had decided what I wanted to do with my life... leave it to an offhand comment to throw all of my plans off track. I am definitely doing Theatre and Early Childhood Education for my B.A. After that though, I'm kind of lost. I will most likely end up getting my Master's degree. Here is the kicker though, I think I may want to go into higher education administration. That's what my dad does. It just makes sense to me. Then again, maybe I will get my Master's in Acting and teach theatre. I don't think I will go to grad school right out of college though. I want to act first. I have loved most of my classes, and most of my teachers. I like to learn. I could work a little harder though.
Now for friends. People always told me that high school would be the best four year of my life. They were so so very wrong. College has been the best year of my life so far. The friends that I have made, I don't know how I could live without them. This summer is going to be super difficult, just because I'm not living with them. They have taught me so much about myself and about life in general. I love all of my Converse girls from the very bottom of my heart.
Speaking of hearts, let's discuss the state of my love life briefly. So I came out of a bad relationship at the beginning of the year. I was torn up about it, but maybe not as much as I usually am. I decided that I needed to be single for a little bit. I made for 8 months before I started looking again. Maybe I've found something... That is all I have to say about that.
The pictures, the memories, the friends. Those are what is important. Those are what I will have forever. And you know what? I'm pretty sure next year may even be able to top this one :)

XOXO
