Back to School!

Well, it's official! I am back at school. I will say that returning as a sophomore is completely different than arriving as a freshman. The change is a huge improvement. Not only do I not have to worry about making a ton of new friends, but I also know what is going on, what is coming next, and how I will be occupying myself for the next year. I'm so excited to get back to work in the theatre (rehearsals for the next show I am stage managing for should be starting really soon). My classes look like they are going to be very interesting this year, and I look forward to spending more time with my close friends.

For those who are just starting out as a freshman, I will offer my unsolicited advice. The best thing that I did last year was to get involved. So jump right in there! Take a leap! Find something you are interested in and pursue it. Doing just that has provided me with countless friends, connections, and some useful experience.

Last year the thing that I focused on was getting involved wherever and whenever I could. It seemed to pay of pretty darn well, so I've picked something new to work on this year. I am going to attempt to put an end to my terrible habit of procrastinating. I'm hoping to gain some good time management skills this year (something that was unfortunately never taught to me in high school).

In case any of you are curious, here are some pictures of my new room. To get to my room, you have to walk through my roommates room. It's pretty small, but it's nice and private. I'm really going to enjoy having my own space!!
