First week of freshman year, complete! What a wild and crazy seven days it has been. From moving in to all the welcome back parties, I have been a busy girl! O and did I mention classes? Want to know what this whirlwind of a first week entails, read on!
August 19th: Move in day! How exciting right? Because of my super enthusiastic parents I arrived at the dorm at 9:00am on the spot and was consequently one of the first students to have my boxes moved into Knight Hall. I was immidiately greeted by an army of smiling faces ready to help me carry my things up to room 214. I was SHOCKED when i found that in a matter of 5 minutes my two carloads of stuff was already in my room! They made it so easy for me and my family to have plenty of time to set my room up just the way my roomates and I wanted it. After a long day of meetings and a picnic to end it, my parents said their final goodbyes and I waved as they cried all the way to the car. I know they were thinking it was so hard to leave me, but in my mind one word came to mind...FREEDOM!
Freshman Orientation occured the entire first weekend, talk about an exhausting blast. The activites included TIGER TIME on Giddings Lawn, fun time with your small groups, and a select few were even hypnotized! I can't begin to tell you how many friends were made in that one weekend. It was a great way for me to adjust to my new college lifestyle before starting classes that Monday.
I was so excited for the first day of school to start! I put on my dress and headed to my first class. After walking around for ten minutes,I was relieved when an upper classman helped me find my way around the Asher Science Center (you will find out quickly that everyone here is friendly and wants to help!) The rest went very smoothly and I now love all my classes! The professors are so friendly, and I can't wait to see what all the discussions they have in store for us. I think my art class is going to be my favorite!
Finally to my favorite part of my first week of being a college student, the welcome back parties! Georgetown College knows how to put on a good dance party. Each fraternity and each sorority put on a themed bash to welcome returning students and allow the freshman to meet all the upperclassmen. I had a blast getting all dressed up with the Knight Hall girls (you can check out some of our pictures on facebook) and look forward to the rest of them that will take place this week!
I have LOVED this first week in my new home! It has been such a great experience and I can't wait for you to join next year! I hope you keep following along as I take you on my freshman year journey, hold on its going to be one crazy ride!
