I absolutely cannot wait until I go home for the summer. This was my first year here at Ohio State and I completely loved it [especially the homework]. So many lessons learned; so many friendships made. I would not change one thing about this year, other than maybe not start my weekends on Wednesday nights. Even though I am extremely to be home with my family, I could not imagine going to a community college. There are just so many things I would miss if I went to a community college, or even if I were to commute. Just some of the things I would have never learned: how to say no whenever someone asks for money, how to live with very different (than me) people, how to balance school and partying, and what the furries are. Yeah, the first time I saw these people in costumes, I went up and hugged them all…learned my lesson. People aren’t as innocent as you may think they are.

Since Christmas, the only time I have been home was during Spring Break. Next Saturday, I get to go home to see my sister for the first time after she gave birth…and I am so excited to see my first baby niece, Ava. The family keeps sending pictures, but nothing could compare to seeing that precious face. It’s definitely going to be a nice change from college scene, where you are constantly surrounded with people and things to do, to the home scene, where you can get away from everything if you wanted to. I cannot wait. (:
