I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday. ~Author Unknown
Even though school is stressful right now, I am still loving every minute of it. The thing about college is that the experience is not just about school, but about the environment, and the friends you make. Two weeks ago, something happened that had a major effect on my life. What happened made me appreciate life more and gave me a new perspective. It is so important to cherish the people in our lives and to be thankful for what we have. College has changed me in many ways and they have all been for the better. It forces you to grow up, think for yourself, and become a responsible, respectable individual.
When I graduated high school, I thought I knew what I was getting myself into coming to college, but really had no idea. It has surpassed my expectations in many ways. I thought I might have learned a little about how to become a teacher, and now almost feel as if I could start teaching tomorrow. I thought I might meet some cool people, and now have met my future husband, and have life-lasting friendships. I thought I might have to grow up and become a little bit responsible, but have surprised myself at how much I have grown. I thought I might have some fun, but have had the time of my life! These are just a few things to look forward to. For those of you who are contemplating college, just know that it is worth it. I would not trade a minute of what I have gone through for anything. My experiences, good and bad, have made me who I am today. I want everyone else to have the opportunity to grow in college like I did. I just hope you guys are ready for the time of YOUR life!

its funny i came across your page because im a senior in high school from boston, mass and im really considering UNC its such a long way from home but i was wondering what the scenery is like, i am also wondering if they are really strict in the dorms it would be really nice to talk to someone from there but your blog really got me thinking
Hi! I am so glad you came across my blog because you raise two great questions. First of all, Colorado is b-e-a-utiful! If you have never been here before, I know you will love it! It is so cool how you can see mountains and then also have flat land. Our campus is so pretty and it would be great if you could schedule a visit! Living in the residence hall is such a great experience. You do not have a certain bed time and can come in at night whenever you want. There is so much freedom and it is a little scary at first! There is a resident assisstant that lives on each floor, and they are usually a junior or senior in college. They are not there to supervise you, but to be available incase you may have any problems! I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more questions. UNC is such a great school and I highly recommend it!
