Senior year college. Those three words are more terrifying than anything I've ever heard. Well, terrifying and extremely exciting. As a senior, it's time to make my last mark on the university. In result, I've gotten out of my apartment and into the world just that much more. Besides being Managing Editor of the paper, I have also decided to pledge APO (a co-ed service frat) and have met some of the best people. I've met new friends and it's only the first week.
As a person that comes off as outgoing and sometimes intimidating, it can be tough for me. Sometimes, I just want to be by myself. However, stepping out of this comfort zone has been the best thing for me. I've started working out and running and now have an exercise group of fellow students that go on runs, play Wii Fit and just generally love bettering ourselves.
If I had stayed in my little comfort bubble, I would be miserable. Schoolwork just isn't enough in life. I learned last year about balance. I found that although I had the newspaper, school and a relationship, things were out of sync. So instead, I found my frat, found exercise and kept the whole work and school and newspaper part. It has been the best decision of my life.
I can say I am happy. I walk with a little pep in my step. I know that I will leave this university in the spring with a job (I'm already hired. WOOT less senior stress!) and having had a great time.
