My Experience At The University: October 26, 2007

As this being my first year, I have had a lot of new experiences.  I have made many mistakes, but I guess they haven’t effected me too extremely yet.

 Mistake #1

Well walking into Conn Hall, I always use the door that does not open.  Yes, I am the nerd that takes twenty minutes to open the door. But the outcome, I get a little bit of exercise prior to eating

Mistake #2

Yes, I gave an upperclassmen football player my number mistaking him with my friend from my health class. Yes, I understand the stereotypical football player would not respect me.  But the outcome, I have a new friend who has a kitchen in his room (Mac&Cheese) and I get to watch football with another Steelers fan

Mistake #3

Yes, because of the necessary use of the heat in my residence hall, I stay leaving the building with white tees, sweatpants, and flip flops. Yes, I am the college student looking a hot mess and I am freezing my booty off.  But the outcome, no longer do nasty guys talk to me and I am starting an exercise plan of speed walking

BUT…. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS!

All my professors know my first and last name.  I have A quality work in my Composition class and my teacher enjoys my enthusiasm in the class.  My FYE teacher (the head of philosophy// biggest ego ever) told me I am one of the best students he has come by and I have the highest grade in the class.  Health, out of 40ish students I am the only student that my teacher can pronounce my name accurately, and yes, we have ate at conn hall together.  And Math, well, let me tell youI have an extremely high average. And Anthropology, I am the only student who has not missed a class, and one day I was the only student for the first 15 minutes, no lie and that has 35 students in it.

Besides the relationships with my teachers, I have met a lot of people.  Working on the networking :)  It is fabulous. I know more people then many upperclassmen.  I am involved in Hall Council, Secretary Beachy, (Papa I’m gonna be a politician one day).  Involved in BSU, yes it is the Black Student club, but I was asked by the Vice President to join because of my views, and happen to be well respected by everyone in the club, and being one of 3 white students, I am recognizable.

I have been the only freshman to not have one lick of alcohol, and to do my laundry weekly. Maybe I am not living up to the college experience, but I am happy this way…

Just wanted to give an update of my experience.

Stay Safe and One Love,
