An Update

            Here we are about 7 weeks into the school year. I have gone home a few times, but it isn’t the same. Its not home to me anymore. Especially going from living here in Rochester to going out in the middle of nowhere, where my parents live. I love getting out of my room every once in a while, and my boyfriend is sure to get my roommate and I out as much as possible. And I love seeing my parents, but it isn’t the same anymore.

            College is going great; I love my roommate and have made some great friends. My RA is great to, she’s always there to help. Classes are not what I expected. The class sizes vary from 15- 150 seats. And each professor is different. Some are willing to help, others are not. I have developed a new love for school food! And have learned to sleep through loud people in Hamlin circle.

            Although I love campus and living here. I love going away on the weekends. The past few weekends I have spent at my boyfriend’s parents house. There his mom does my laundry, makes a home cooked meals and it is always quiet there and I feel like I can sleep all day. His parents are great and have helped me quite a bit. And that Is nice to have. They are closer to me in distance than my own parents.

            Music keeps me sane! I love www.pandora.com I have many play lists for each mood. Having music going always makes doing homework more enjoyable. Whenever I put a good station on I feel like I can just go. Weather I’m doing homework, folding clothes or cleaning music makes everything better.

            Laundry in the dorms! Ha ha those are a hit or miss. Either you come at a great time and all the washers are open or you come at a time and there is a line for the washers. And if you don’t switch your laundry as soon as it’s finished, chances are next time you come down, your clothes will either be on top of the washer or on the table. There are more students living here, then there are washes available.

            Over all college life has been great. I’m still working on getting a hang of the homework and studying. But I’m getting there. I have learned more from my peers than I have in class. My peers are going through the same thing I am and they are always open to say how they do it.

            I cant wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for me. I’m looking forward to it!!
