I'm in College!!!! AHH
This year I am attending
Southern Virginia University majoring in Theater. I am enjoying it so far. I will tell you about my journey in picture form:
Since The last time I posted (It has been far too long, I admit) I have:
- Moved to Virginia:
 |
| I had to fit all my stuff in mom's Elantra. :) I did it. |
 |
| These are my amazing roommates! Rylee in the middle and Tessa on the right. |
 |
| These are the stairs to get up to the girls dorm. I have hiked these stairs at least 3 times a day since I have moved here. Fun times. Let's just say I haven't gained any weight since coming to school. |
There are two rocks about halfway up the stairs that say "You can do it!" and "don't give up." They were very helpful the first week of school.
My room when I first moved in. I have rearranged it since then.
-Witnessed some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen:
- Been to a few fun dances:

It has been a wonderful school year so far. I have learned so much abut myself and people around me. I have discovered that I love to cook, but do not often get the opportunity; that I eat way too much sugar; that being single is almost more complicated than dating someone; that sleeping is a choice; that the weather is never consistent; that writing a paper is never something that college students want to do; that a lot more homework gets done when there is time set aside only for homework; that sandwiches are twenty times better when the bread is toasted; and that my family is ALWAYS going to be here for me. I would say that those are pretty good lessons to learn.
I have one more week left of classes then I have finals and I get to go home!! Wish me luck!
You guys are amazing. Stay warm, unless it's 75 degrees like it was today, then stay cool. :) I guess stay at a comfortable temperature, and don't change your diet for the holidays! Find something that you love about the people that hate you. Think happy thoughts. Don't do anything you wouldn't do in front of your mom!
<3 <3 Happy Finals Weeks everyone! You can do it!
All possible love,
Your friend, Jasmine
