First Month of College. . .


Long time no speak, I know. College has been keeping me busy! I am taking four classes (13 credits) and training for a job that I will be starting soon. I'm already tired by going to school only, I can only imagine how tired I'm going to be when I start working as well! I really need a job though. I'm not used to spending this much money, and I feel so bad asking my parents for $50+ every week. It's not an extreme amount of money but compared to high school, $10 would last me a whole week because I had a free metrocard and free meals at school. Now in college, I spend $25 on transportation and $20+ on food. Sometimes I try to make something at home to save money but my schedule doesn't always permit me.

On the bright side, I really love the college environment. I've always been a loner so I like that everyone keeps to themselves at school. It's really hard to make friends, but I don't mind at all. I like to sit by myself with my headphones on. I've had a bad experience with friends coming and going, and I've always done just fine on my own.

The school work isn't bad at all either. I don't get homework from many classes except for my English class. On my first college exam for my Psychology class, I scored an 85 (I thought that was pretty good). Some of the professors are really hard to understand. They speak to you in complicated terms and sometimes I have a complete brain fart and don't understand ANYTHIING.

I'm really looking forward to the rest of my academic career. I've gotten through 12 years of school already and 4 more wouldn't hurt. Today makes exactly one month since I've started college and I think I've done pretty well.

I have a couple of make-up blog posts pending. I haven't had the chance to upload the photos to my computer. Stay tuned for make up of the day/face of the day posts and more. I will try to update as soon as I can.
Thanks for reading! xo
