While I enjoyed my time at college and seeing just one more semester to complete, I look into the future of what my life will be like once I will throw my cap up into the air. What will I do? Where will I live? I also look back at my previous semester. Sometimes I wish I did more or changed certain things, but one of my favorite memories is going on my first date with my boyfriend back in Spring of 2021. I also look back at my first swim team practice and meet.

As there were good memories, there were also not so great ones such as living on the 4th floor of a dorm hall with no elevator and also starting college during COVID-19. I can tell you I do not miss those masks and being unable to attend certain events.

The best thing I enjoyed the most is attending my classes and learning about new subjects and just talking to my professors and hearing their stories about their jobs and the news that were tied into the classes I was in.

As I only have one semester left in the fall, sometimes I have to take a step back, big breath, and focus on one day at a time. Some advice I have is that take time to focus on yourself at least once a week and think about positive things too. Another thing is to not always wait for someone to ask you, but ask people to go out and do things as well.
