Last First Day of School
Hello friends! I decided to take a break from the Paris blog posts today because today is an important day in the life of Morgan.
Today, August 28th, 2017, I have my last first day of school (minus grad school but that is going to be a completely different experience). I cannot believe I have been through so much to finally say I am experiencing my final first day.
People truly are not lying when they say college flies by. I remember moving in my freshman year, so nervous to meet new people but extremely excited to be experiencing a new place. Sophomore year I knew more of what I was doing but was definitely having to adjust to harder classes and a harder schedule. Then junior year came around and I felt like more of an adult, moving into my first apartment and taking more of a leadership role in certain clubs. Finally, we are here. Senior year. I have such mixed feelings of excitement and nostalgia.
On one hand, this is the last year of my life that will ever be like this. Living with really close friends, getting to have more free time than I would with a job but also having to focus extremely hard on finishing the year strong with great grades. At the end of this year, I can add JMU alum to my list of attributes.
I was trying to think of some goals I want to focus on this year. Here’s what I came up with…
- Make Dean’s list both semesters
- Say yes to hanging out with more people, rather than staying in my own bubble
- Complete my senior year bucket list (a post on that is probably to come)
- Grow my relationship with Jesus
- Take lots of pictures
I mean, I have a lot more goals than that, but I just want to make senior year something worth remembering. This year is a year for work, fun, friends, and memories and I could not be more excited for it.
SENIOR YEAR BABY! Here goes nothing!
xoxo Morgan
