My First Week of College

I MADE IT THROUGH MY FIRST WEEK OF COLLEGE (alive, that is) 

At the beginning of the week, I was hesitant. At the beginning of the week, I was terrified. Terrified of getting lost, terrified of not making friends, terrified of new things. 

For me, doing new things that I've never done before makes me nervous and incredibly anxious and scared. But I totally killed this week. And I'm proud of that. 

At first, when I decided to go to TCC, I was like "this is gonna be just like Lincoln, I'm gonna hate this." Nope. Not at all. So far, I love TCC. I have sincerely enjoyed all of my classes, meeting new people and waking up at 8am every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (and even later for my 1:05 class on Tuesday and Thursday's) rather than that early everyday! Note to all high school seniors: College is great 😉 
The first day was probably the most nerve wrecking part mainly because this was the first time I'd be going to a new school by myself and knowing literally no one. When I say that, this is what I mean: sure, I see people I know around but for my whole life anytime I changed a school, I was going to be with a bunch of people I already knew. 

Honestly, I'm so happy that I don't know hardly anyone and that this is a new start for me. "Starting off fresh," right? No worries about being my old high school self. No worries about being shy. New school, new life, new me. This is what I've needed and I could not be more thankful. My heart has been waiting for a change and this is gonna be an incredible ride. 

I've learned things about myself and life all within this first week and I truly cannot wait to see where life takes me. 

Oh and a huge thank you goes to Courtney Allen for encouraging me as well as drawing me a map that is currently still my background so I don't get lost. #FreshyProbs 

Enjoy this picture of my super cute background (and yes, it may look simple to anyone else, but in person, I can't follow maps and this was necessary) thanks again Courtney! ❤️:
