Classes

At this point we are a month into classes and I have mixed feelings about that. Being a first semester freshman in college is one of the biggest changes a person will ever go through. Especially if that person is all the way across the state like me. Being from the Eastside, alot of people around here are used to all the wind and used to all of the lake affect, to seeing the constant "small craft advisory" notification that streams across your phone everyday for weather alerts. One thing that I have had some fun with here is hearing all of the different things people from the west side of the state do that the east side doesnt. Some of my friends always make jokes about how weird the things that we do over there are such as the different stores and restaurants that we have. It simply "Must be an East side thing" is what they always say if its not something thats common around here. I love being from the small little suburb of Detroit called West Bloomfield, all of my family is from there and its my hometown

And the Second Week Begins...

The first week of classes started last week and I couldn't have felt more lost, I had no idea where my classes were at, I still had trouble putting names to faces and meeting people I had stuff in common with... But then the second week starts and I run into someone that would what I didn't know at the time become my best friend, Logan! She lives down the hall from me and couldn't be more friendly and just like me at the same time and I couldn't feel more comfortable with someone I had just met, a unfamiliar feeling had come over me that I had not experienced in such a long time and it was a feeling I can't explain, but it made me feel at peace. As the week went on and the closer we got we had found more and more we had in common, the more and more we got along! At this point I call her my best friend and I couldn't have felt more grateful and lucky to have shared this freshman experience with me and her boyfriend Zac who also I consider one of my good friends. Together, all three of us would make a trip to get "Den Pops" and those are these sodas or different combination of drinks you can make for very cheap, so almost everyday we would make a run out there and laugh and get closer and closer and build into who now I consider my best friends, and for that, I am thankful!

Something New, Something Old

                        

There was something very familiar about the atmosphere when I walked onto campus for the first time since orientation, it had been the smell of the other student's excitement mixed with the anticipation of what this year has to bring for all of us individually but at the same time us for a whole as the class of 2020 rings in. Being in a crowd of all of the unfamiliar faces reminds me of the familiar feeling of anxiety, many times throughout the summer the thought of how it would go, who I would meet, and where this experience would take me made me question everything. Through the process so far I have made some life-long friends, met some inspiring instructors and will forever be grateful for the experience to be a Bronco!
