The lives I've lived the past few years!
freshman year
Wow... the very beginning! The year that I was finally figuring out who I was, and I LOVED her! Stressed, anxious, overworked. Real friendships (some not, lol), adventures, and challenges that made me who I am today.
sophomore year
Oof. Sophomore year was my biggest year of growth at college. Started the year off hating volleyball, enrolled in 18 credits, had a long-distance boyfriend, was a head coach for the first time, and hated just about every second of everything. By the end, I quit volleyball, dropped my music minor, dumped my boyfriend, and ran off to the Dominican Republic right after finals week.
junior year
This year was so much better and so much worse at the same time. I was learning so much about myself post-breakup, good and bad, I felt super disconnected not being in sports anymore, coached two volleyball teams, and I was finally finding my community within the English program. I started my job at the library, which would change the trajectory of the rest of my life, and I really leaned into my love of academics! Also had a freaking awesome summer (besides the job I hated lol)
senior year
Ahh! Senior year was a whirlwind. Not only because I graduated early, but because there was so much to do with so little time. My best friend/roommate and I finally got an apartment, and while it was objectively terrible, we made it our cozy home. I got a weird cat! My senior project ended up being a nightmare. I had to leave my job at the library because I graduated (never fear, I would get a full time job there late). My friends all moved away, and I felt so unsure of what to do with my life/next steps. The end felt so sureal. Surely it was just a few months ago when we all moved in for the first time, freshly dyed hair and attatchment issues waiting around the corner? Take me back <3
