Growing up

"Growing Pains"

So as my roommate and I were packing to leave for Christmas break, I looked back on my first semester in college. There were amazing times, and of course some rough times that I had to get through; however, no matter how hard they were, I actually had friends, always someone there to help me with any situation.

Winter Formal was amazing, cheerleading was going so well, and my classes… well they went as good as I had expected. Now that I could finally relax after the long grueling process of finding myself, trying to figure out who I was while SO much happened around me, I had the time of my life. Though I wanted nothing more than to get home to the familiar, and my family, I zipped up my last suitcase and hugged my roommate as I cried. But I was crying not because I was going to miss her (even though I was) but also because I was more ecstatic that I knew I had worked so hard and was able to come back in January with everyone else to start my second semester as a SAINT LEO LION!

Happy Holidays to you all, and I will be sure to write more next YEAR! Until then…. Be safe and remember, growing up hurts every once in a while, but you just have to be strong because there is always something to learn out of everything that happens in your life.
