The ColLegE LyfE.....

I AM CURRENTLY GOIN TO THE GREATEST COLLEGE EVER...UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY (NOT) HAHA BUT ITS A GREAT SCHOOL AND IM REALLY LIKING IT! I AM MAJORING IN PRE-NURSING AND THINKING ABOUT DOING ENGLISH AND WRITING FOR MY MINOR, I AM CURRENTLY A FULL TIME STUDENT AND STAYING OUT HERE IN OREM WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE WHO I MET WHILE MOVING IN. I STAY IN THE CONDOS THAT ARE LIKE 2 OR 3 BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL AND STILL TRYING TO GET USED TO LIVING ON MY OWN AND SUPPORTING MYSELF WITHOUT THE HELP OF FAMILY AND THEM BEING BY MY SIDE. BUT GOING TO COLLEGE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST CHOICES IVE MADE IN MY LIFE. IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO COLLEGE ALL MY LIFE AND NOW THAT IM HERE ITS KIND OF UNBELIEVABLE. IT'S ALSO HARD BEING AWAY FROM FAMILY AND DOING MY OWN THING. I MISS THE HOME COOKED MEALS FROM MY DAD, I MISS KNOWING WHERE THINGS AND PLACES ARE. I MISS DRIVING TO MY SISTERS HOUSE WHEN EVER I WANTED OR TO OTHER FAMILIES HOUSES. IVE ONLY BEEN OUT HERE FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SENIORITIS. HAHA I HAVE TO SAY THAT ITS HARD TO GO TO SCHOOL. SOME DAYS I JUST DONT WANT TO WAKE UP AND I KNOW THAT I DONT HAVE MY PARENTS OUT HERE BOTHERING ME TO WAKE UP SO SOMETIMES I JUS DONT EVEN GO. BUT ALOT OF THE TIMES I THINK OF WHO IM DOING IT FOR AND WHY I AM AT SCHOOL AND THATS WHAT MOTIVATES ME TO GO. RIGHT NOW BEING ON MY OWN IM STARTING TO SEE THAT I HAVE TO BUDGET EVERYTHING SUCH AS GAS, GROCERIES, THINGS I WANT TO DO, ETC. AND I CANT GO HOME ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OF BUDGETING. ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE STEPS IN LIFE THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE IN ORDER TO LEARN. WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF COLLEGE, THEY THINK OF THE PARTIES AND THE FREE LIFE THAT THEY WILL HAVE. WHEN I THINK OF COLLEGE NOW I THINK PARTIES GET OLD AND THE FREE LIFE ISNT FREE. IVE BIN TO THE PARTIES AND TRIED THE FREE LIFE BUT ALL THAT WILL DO IS PUT YOU IN STRESS. BEING OUT HERE IN OREM AND IN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT MYSELF. IN HIGH SCHOOL I NEVER STUDIED EVEN IF I DID IT WAS FACEBOOK/SPARK NOTES WHICH ISNT STUDYING. BUT BEING OUT HERE I NOTICED HOW CAPABLE I AM OF STUDYING AND DOING HOMEWORK AND HOW MUCH EASIER IT IS IF I ACTUALLY DO IT. BUT THE COLLEGE LIFE IS THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE AND WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE, IN COLLEGE YOU LEARN ALOT ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOU LEARN MORE SKILLS AND BETTER THE SKILLS YOU HAVE. ITS WORTH IT AND ITS FOR A BETTER FUTURE!
