What I Learned My Freshman Year

I dreamt of the day I would graduate and move on to somewhere bigger and better in this world for years. From the minute I entered high school, four years ago, I was thinking about where I would go, who I would meet, and ultimately who I would become. All that dreaming did not prepare me at all for the real experience. Once I had found a school I loved and finally graduated, I spent all of the summer months impatiently awaiting my arrival to campus. Looking back on it now, it was a moment of intense excitement as well as apprehension.
