So I haven't really talked about myself on here or really expressed who I am, so I'll do that now. To start off with, my name is Vanida and I am a freshman at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois. I am 18 years old and majoring in biology. I am an only child with a mother who plays both the mother and father role. I currently don't really know where life is taking me right now but I hope its something I will be satisfied with. I used to have dreams of traveling the world one day and working with animals. I still do. Animals and exploring new places are my passion. I hope to one day visit London, a place that I have always wanted to visit. I dream of living in California with the hot sun beating down on my face and living next to the beach. It all sounds like a dream to be honest. Something unrealistic. But I hope one day I will find peace with myself and finally feel settled down.

First Year of College

As I approach the end of the year, I enjoy looking back on the memories I made my freshman year in college. I think of the long nights I was up studying, the high test scores I got and even the low test scores I got. I think of the nights spent enjoying with friends and the early mornings waking up for classes. Whether it be taking a moment to enjoy small things such as nature or enjoying big thing such as celebrating birthdays, I have learned to have a more positive outlook on life. As a whole, this entire year has been a learning experience for me and I have learned many lessons along the way. I learned proper studying habits, the consequences of procrastinating, and the rewards of time management. I learned that there is a time and place for having fun and a time and place for being focused and studious. Whether or not I transfer out of Lewis or stay, I can truly say that I enjoyed my first year of college, and I will be using the lessons I learned to shape the rest of college ...

Lost

So it's almost the end of the year already. The end of my first year of college. Going to college has been a unique experience for me. From meeting new people, to experiencing a new level of freedom never exposed to me, college has been a mental roller coaster. Classe have, of course, gotten much harder since high school and the courses run at an accelerated rate. But that's no surprise. We've been told that from the beginning it will get harder from, here so enjoy it while you can. With this being said, I feel as though I am missing out on the "college life" because the social events and interactions are at a low here. Despite these things, there are multiple things I like about this university. I love the friends that I have made here and the biology program here is well acclaimed. The ups and downs of college have made me come to a decision that is very hard to come to. I cannot decide whether to transfer to a school farther from home, or toughen up for three y...

End of the Year

The end of the school year is coming closer. With only 3 weeks left, I find myself excited but scared at the same time. Trying to pass these last few weeks are going to be difficult, especially with summer right around the corner. This is the time of the year where I just want it to be over with and can barely focus, but I will try. I don't want my first year of college to go to waste. Although it has been a good first year, along with some down sides, I am glad that I was able to experience it here. When I look back on my first year, it seems like it flew by, but at the same time, going by so slow. These next weeks are going to feel like forever, and it's going to be hard and painful to get through. The stress will kick in severely as I try to focus on school and my grades, studying for upcoming tests and quizzes, but also finals. I never actually know when to start studying for finals because I am already so occupied with my current homework and tests I have to study for th...
