One great thing about being a senior is that a lot of our professors love to use class as an excuse to give us advice about life. In order to make this somewhat academic, they assign lots of papers or reflections about whatever topics we are going over in class at the time. So, I’ve spent the last 5 weeks or so thinking about my college years…and how I have changed since I came to Butler. Some aspects of my life are completely different now than I thought they would be, but most of these changes are all positive, and just a natural part of growing up. Here we go…
My hair color…
If you didn’t know, I used to be blonde. Really blonde. But a few years ago I decided to go back to my roots…literally…to be a brunette again. Do blondes really have more fun? Nope. They don’t.
- Freshman Year….
- Senior Year…
Leaving Butler…
When I first came to Butler, I thought that I would go home every 2 or 3 weeks. For awhile, I kind of did because I visited friends at other schools and went home often. Eventually, my life got so busy that I just couldn’t make this traveling all the time thing happen anymore, and now I barely have time to go home at all. I wish I could visit my family and friends more, but it is also kind of nice that I love being here at Butler so much that I am fine with staying.
Instead of leaving, I try to get everyone to come visit me here, or I try to split my time between visiting others and them coming to see me. This way, I can even share a little bit of my love for Butler and Indy with everyone who comes to visit. I’ve even noticed a difference in how quickly I leave for breaks. Freshman year, I couldn’t get of my last class on Fridays fast enough to get me on the road to go home. Now, sometimes I will stay at Butler for an extra night just to hang out with my sorority sisters at Alpha Phi or to just relax on campus.
Check back soon for Part II!
