"My Life as a College Freshman"


Well I much say that my first reaction to the college life was "GREAT". I was ecstatic to finally be on my own and to finally do my own thing. It was so exciting to know that there will be no more rules from momma and that everything now lied in my own hands. Move in day, August 16, 2008 was one of the best days of my life. I got to meet wonderful new people and I had the glory of decorating things the way I wanted (seeing as though I was the first to arrive to my dorm room). I unpacked everything, decorated carefully and almost moved every item out of my mother’s house, my bedroom would now be turned into a guest room and my own special touch would now be the touch of my mothers BUT this was still not my problem and I was still more excited then ever. GEWW was nearing at 3 o'clock and I would be surrounded by people like myself (freshmen if you must) to do all sorts of fun activities and even to compete for cool prizes (how fun is that??). Soon I realized that we didn't have to attend the scheduled events if we chose not to. Lucky for me, I chose not to, while most of the other students were out earning a very easy credit, I was wondering getting to know the campus a little better. Little did I know I would miss out on a completely easy credit. To say the least, I regretted every bit of it and wish I could co back but unfortunately I have to live in the present. As the day went by, I grew home sick. It was now time for me to go to bed in a completely different place. I missed home so dearly, I couldn't even sleep that night. Many times the thought of moving back in with momma came across my mind but I soon realized that this was the route I should take to get use to being on my own. With this experience, I will hopefully gain the experience needed to be a more responsible person as well as being the best person I can be; socially, academically and physically. I want to do all around good and I plan to do just that to make everybody proud. I now "Bleed Black and Gold" once again because I know that this is something that needs to be done (SOUTHER MISS...TO THE TOP!!).
