It is still hard to believe that I have made it this far already. I was so used to being told that college was just a harder level, and that the only way to survive is by just focusing on school. Week 6 just started, and I honestly wish that a day had more than 24 hours. There is just so much for me to do that I have been staying busy every single day, trying to complete all of my homework on time, and studying for any upcoming quizzes, or tests. But even though it takes dedication, I still enjoy it more, due to the fact that I can take everything at my own pace.

My suitemates and I, often gather together to eat at a certain time, so that we can take a break from classes, to interact with each other. I take some time to either go to the gym or play field hockey, as a way to continue maintaining myself active. It also helps me from losing my mind with all of my assignments  that I have to do. I figured that, the more busy I am, the less homesick I feel. And even though I don’t live as far as Sarah does from her family, I still have the urge to visit them every weekend. They are truly my real friends. So I am very excited for fall break because they can finally hear all the details about my life here at longwood.

When Sarah was having a identity crisis, I somewhat identified myself with her at the beginning of the semester. I used to be worried about me not being able to fit in, not as capable of keeping up with my classes, or not knowing what I really wanted to do with my life, but as the weeks pass by, I got more comfortable with everything. It is all about balance and discipline. So far school has been great for me, because I am finally where I have been wanting to be at. The first required step in becoming a veterinarian.
