The First week on Campus, Oh wait that's not true

Okay, so we really haven't made our way to classes and such yet, but we have indeed started living in Logan and OH my gosh, working and and and. It's all new, all amazing, what am I gonna do when school actually starts? cuz right now I feel busy, well in the evenings anyway, the days haven't been so hoppin'.

I can't believe we've actually lived here four days, It feels like much longer. Much, much longer. I can't believe it. My mom is not in the next room to help out with whatever emergency it is. My dad is not there to solve all my problems and help me pay for college bills. It's a very strange feeling, but I am managing. Mostly.

Already I've made friends, at work and a little on campus. Mandi is a coworker who is absolutely awesome, but more on her later:)

Jess and I spent our first full day here on campus trying to figure out where classes were and getting my textbooks and other important things like that. Can I just tell you something? Textbooks are NOT cheap. AT ALL. If I didn't have scholarships then I would be crying at how much these 6 textbooks cost! and I got all the used ones I could! but I have my textbooks at that is so exciting it's not even funny. I'm looking forward to astronomy, and International relations and U.S. Government, You don't even understand. I am so a Political Science Major. Don't even worry 'bout it.

After getting textbooks we decided to find classes. Most of mine are in Old Main. So we played absolute freshmen and took pictures of that beautiful building and its iconic 'A'. It is a beautiful building and all that it stands for. a good and even great education. To me it embodies Political science since that is where the department is. to me it symbolizes a beautiful thing: education and through education freedom. That, my friends is a beautiful thing. A very beautiful thing. Even gorgeous. and I'm waxing poetic . . . again. 

The Fine Arts building is beautiful too, and Jess is shortly to live there. It has some wonderful qualities and it just wonderful for crazy music majors ( I guess I shouldn't malign them, I once considered being one of them)

 Ice Cream Cake is an important part of College life when one roomies mom puts it in the freezer for everyone. Also it gives Deverey a crown, which is an okay thing in everyone's book

Things Learned this week

#1 Brita is the seventh and most favorite roommate

See that water, yeah it is cloudy as all get out and eventually it will settle, but until then I can see the silt and that is not okay. So the Brita water filter pitcher lives in the fridge and we all use it. It tastes better and makes me feel like I'm drinking clean water and not . . . whatever that is.




 #2 We are still children

Yes I live away from home with 5 amazing young women, but we are 18 and we don't REALLY want to grow up or be completely independent. But we have to so we still do very childish things. Like eat ice cream cake and have backyardigans cups. We also dance in the rain and stuff we don't really like the reality of being grown up, just the idea of it.







#3 Singin in the rain
is okay!! and we love it. Dancing in the rain even better. and sometimes your roommates will do it with you, but only if they are super awesome (like mine). It's okay and just fine.







#4 I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
I got the best roommates in the world. I love them already. We were up on Wednesday night till 1 am just talking and we'd only known one another for 2 days. It's been crazy, but crazy great. I've loved it. We are already super close. We girls are going to rule the world someday, without alcohol. Kenzie, LaRae, Jessica, Megan and Deverey are some of the sweetest, nicest and greatest girls and we are going to have the best townhouse you ever did know of.


 #5 I chose the right school for me.
USU is my school, I will not only make it so , but I can already feel it is so. BYU would have been a good choice, but not the best choice for me. I'm where I am supposed to be.





#6 Work is going to be a struggle
Not the job necessarily, but I don't have a car and I don't trust the Logan bus system yet cuz i don't know it, so I've been walking to and from work everyday. It's about 14 blocks to and from work. It's a struggle, but it's also a nice walk. Also I don't have to worry about that freshman 15, with all the walking and lifting I'm doing I am in no danger. I am in danger of the freshman 15 going the other direction. Work will also be a struggle because some people, customers and coworkers alike can be annoying and grate upon one's nerves, but that's okay, because I can power through.

#7 Work will also prove to be wonderful
I've already made a friend, Mandi. She's awesome and she understands and feels the same way about a certain coworker that is wonderful but overbearing. In fact tonight we had a roommate waffle party and I invite Mandi over for waffles since she lives all alone:). she did come over and we had a wonderful time, she fit right in and it was great. So yeah, coworkers and new friends are a wonderful thing!! Also walking to and from work in the rain makes for great hair (not that I have anywhere to go .. . yet).




So yeah that's the first week of college life in a very brief and by no means all inclusive summation. I'm so excited and nervous and ready to take on this adventure. tomorrow I meet the ward.

I guess I'll just have to remember that:

Because if I remember that then college will be a lot easier that I am worried it shall be. But here's to a new adventure and new growth. I'm about to start a very new path and a very new way of life. So. 

Here. We. Go.
