Reflection Of My First Five Weeks

My first five weeks at Florida State having been amazing, I love it here. At first I was scared that I would get homesick and hate being so far from home. But, luckily, that never happened, I have made a lot of new friends that have helped me through my summer here. College homework is much different then in high school. I wasn’t use to doing work outside of class, but I was able to manage this change. I spent a lot of time studying and doing homework in Strozier Library; I found it easier to study there without the distractions in my dorm room. Since the summer is so short and everything is due so fast, I was stressed at first. I learnt really fast that procrastinating was a bad idea. Feeding myself wasn’t bad since I have a meal plan. Even though the food is not too great, it’s easy enough to just walk down there and get something to eat. The first time doing my laundry was a challenge. I had never done laundry at home except washing sheets. I was grateful that I had my roommate there to help me; even though the washing machine did overflow the first time. The first few weeks we went to bed really late and paid for it the next day. We soon learnt that this was not a good idea and taught ourselves to fix our sleeping schedule. I did find out that being around friends all the time, lets you see the real them. One of my good friends didn’t adjust as well to college as I did. Being here let me see the real her and I realized that I can’t be around her for a long time. This was an unfortunate start to my summer, loosing a good friend. But, I’ve meet so many new people that I didn’t let this bring me down. I am now so excited for fall and I know that coming to Florida State was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
