It's amazing that we are already in the 10th week of school. Time
has been flying by so fast that I haven't really gotten to pay attention to
everything I've done so far. I've accomplished a lot, I've realized, and have
been more productive in these 10 weeks than all of my senior year in college. Though
I’m not talking about schoolwork, (my homework in college has actually lessened since high school) I mean the other little things that people
rarely notice.
First of all, I have become more independent than ever. After
talking to my parents though, I have realized how much I don’t rely on them
anymore, which is a huge difference to only a few months ago. I no longer call
or see them because I need something, I do so because I want to. While this is
a given from being in college, I have always been the type of person that felt
like I was older than I was and couldn't possibly grow up anymore, but being in
college has changed my perspective. I no longer feel older than I actually am,
in fact I feel younger. I realize now that I still have a long way to go, and a
lot of growing up to do.
People always say that you “find yourself” in college, and I
always thought that was a cliché thing to say with little truth behind it.
However, I’ve learned that there is in fact something behind this saying. I’ve
only been in college for two and a half months and already I can see a
difference. Things I thought I’ve always known about myself have been
challenged and I am learning more about myself every day.
With just this, I already feel really accomplished. I wonder what
will become of me farther down the road.
I guess I never consiously thought about this but this is all very true. I talk to my parents basically every day because I want to hear about their day and just fill them in about what I've been up to. At the beginning of the year, I would call them because I felt homesick and it helped to talk to them but even though I talk to them the same amount now, it is definitely for different reasons.
