Hello to you all! This is my first post that is actually related to college on this blog. I changed the blog from a church-themed blog to a college-themed one about two weeks ago. I felt that it might be more beneficial for everyone to see what a college student's life is like on a regular basis.
For me, the inspiration to change the blog came as I was applying to colleges about a year ago. If you could see my search history, I went to hundreds of sites looking for advice on applying to colleges and scholarships. And more recently, I've been looking for advice for actually starting college. And here's what I've found in those hundreds of searches: much of the advice and tips come from older college students or from college graduates. So, I thought it would be cool to do a journal-ish blog, where I keep you posted on what is happening in my life throughout the college experience, so that you, or your kids, or whoever is in the middle of the whole college prep thing, can see what you are really in for. I'm really excited for this! If you end up with just a laugh or two, or if you really do find something from my posts that help you, that's all I can ask for. I hope that you can get something from my words!
As for me, I haven't even gotten to college yet! I mean, sure, I've visited the campus and am boxing up the stuff in my room, but I haven't started classes yet. As of now, I have exactly 23 days until I move into my dorm at Utah State University. So, for now, my big thing is packing up and finalizing my packing list. I don't think it sounds like a lot to get done in a few weeks, but looking around me room, at the cluttered state of half-packed, half-untouched stuff laying around, it is showing its true magnitude.
So that's all for now, but check back often, because you never know what this girl will post next!
