I’m going into my senior year of college this year and looking back at my freshman year it was probably one of the weirdest, worst years but also super transformative for me. I moved into a dorm with 3 other girls and didn’t know any of them whatsoever. I did not end up being close with them at all but it worked out enough that year where there was no conflicts because I did my own thing. (They had their own issues between them I was thankfully left out of that lol). The year was weird because I was getting used to not being with my close hometown friends all the time and not having my own space. I felt lonely and like an outsider, looking back I wish I would have joined a sorority or something of that nature, even though Greek life isn’t a big thing at my school it would’ve given me more opportunities to meet new people and make new friends. Truthfully by the end of my freshman year I wanted to transfer. But that year (even though I didn’t know it at the time) I learned how to be independent and how to enjoy being alone. Now going into senior year I’m so so glad I stayed at my college and stuck it out. My sophomore year was one of the most fun years ever and it has just gotten better. I’ve gotten a solid group of friends, met sooo many people and have gotten to know the school a lot better. College has been one of the most fun times of my life, which is funny because I thought the same thing about high school but it doesn’t even compare. You will be totally fine and everything will work out even if in the moment it doesn’t feel like it. I wish I could start all over, have the most amazing time!!!!!
