"Im In College!" =)

Hii everyone! My name is Michelle and I am currently a John Jay freshman. This is my first time blogging for anything, so I'm pretty excited about this haha =) I'm currently pursuing criminal justice, but I'm going to switch my major to government soon, because I heard its better when applying to law school. I'm actually debating between government or justice studies...

Anyways, let me start off by saying, "I'm in college!" Haha =) I still remember it like it was just yesterday. My high school graduation, June 25th. My friend Matt called my name as i walked across the field to shake hands with the principle to get my diploma. I remember the last few weeks of school, I was a complete mess. I love all my friends and just the thought of leaving and not coming back next year was such a bittersweet feeling. I was happy to finally graduate! But at the same time, I was sad that everyone was separating next year to their different schools. I was also nervous to actually be going to college and meeting all new people! But the thing that got to me most was that i was going to miss my friends so much. Haha ask anyone from my school... i literally cried everyday the last week of school.

But here I am now! I am now officially a freshman at John Jay! The feeling is still sooo surreal to me! The only word that I can really think of to describe how I'm feeling is, "wow." I cant believe we're actually all growing up and in college now! No more teachers reminding us about our work and no more of the same familiar faces we see everyday for the past 18 years! This is real and this is now... (not to sound all corny) but the beginning of our lives, a new chapter! I am so happy to be in college now and I actually love it! =) My professors are good and the people here are soo nice! I met a few on facebook and actually met them in person at orientation, which was awesome! I actually thought it would be awkward and hard to make friends, but its really not =] Now that I'm done with the first week of school... I already know that it's going to be hard work but I am determined to learn all that i can to help me succeed in the future! In the next post, I'm going to write about my first day... haha i would write it all now, but i have to read sooo much for homework. Ahhh =/
