Hello!
Last time we talked I was preparing for homecoming, and what a great week it was!
It was super busy here on campus as everyone competed for the homecoming awards given out Friday night at Songfest. There was the bench painting judging, common ground service, black and orange day, and finally the much anticipated Songfest. Being a freshman I didn’t understand why my older friends were stuck practicing for Songfest all the time. However, at the show Friday night I understood why all the strenuous practices were necessary. Each production was awesome! I really enjoyed being a part of the audience but I really can’t wait to participate in it next year. On Saturday my friends and I attended the football game where we beat Pikeville, Go Tigers! We then got ready and headed to the homecoming dances. My friends and I went to the Lambda Chi Alpha dance first and then went to Lexington to attend the Phi Kappa Tau dance. It was such a blast! Homecoming week was definitely a week to remember here at Georgetown.
Class scheduling for next semester has begun and I can’t believe it is already that time. My year is flying by, but I know it is because I have stayed so busy. The work is getting a little harder now and my hours in the library have picked up some but it is all been worth it. I actually enjoy going to my classes which has been a big motivation in staying on top of all of my work. It’s been difficult but I try my best in everything I am faced with which is the key to success in college classes.
This week I am looking forward to the weekend’s Halloween festivities. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I can’t wait to experience it here at Georgetown. There is community trick-or-treating in the dorms on Thursday and two parties on the weekend and I’m so excited about dressing up! It’s going to be so much fun but the best part is getting to be with all the friends I’ve made.
Speaking of friends I have the best group of friends anyone could ask for. They are the ones that keep me going here. Adjusting to college life has been hard but having them around has made it so much easier for me to transition. My suggestion for any incoming freshman would be to get out and meet everyone because you may just make some best friends. I’m so grateful that I have a close group to experience this first year with and look forward to my next 3 and half years with them!
My best friends are in the picture in the upper right hand corner. These girls are amazing!
