I cannot believe that my first year of college is done! Sometime I feel like I should still be in elementary school and not old enough to be in college. Strangely, I am old enough and am now a sophomore in college!
Throughout my first year of college, I learned and grew a lot.
I have learned to like more food. I don't know if it is the supposed less sensitive taste buds with being older, being too nice to be ultra picky, or the fact that I am now a "starving college student" but I eat so many more things now. To name a few... cauliflower, tomatoes, croutons, beans, potatoes, other flavors of sun ships, soups besides broccoli and wild rice, Subway, deviled eggs, and the list goes on! My family doesn't know who I am anymore with this changed appetite!
I have learned that the years of teasing actually have a base of fact and I should stop denying that I have OCD. I mean I'm not completely crazy washing my hands a million times a day, but I definitely prefer cleanliness. I think that everything has a place and should be there, cupboards doors should be shut, the counter/tables/desk should be clean, and the stove clean from stains. But, as I lived with five other people who think these beliefs are crazy, I have worked to have patience and not do it for them. Someday I will have my own house and it will be clean! I am doing better at accepting the kitchen for the disaster it usually becomes. I even took a pic of our sink exploding with dishes so I can look back and laugh and the discustingness. This wasn't even the worst that it looked this year!
I have learned that college requires a lot of reading! Yes, I have read all of all these books this semester (except the Book of Mormon which was all year... but I read it twice this year so I guess that balances out.)! I think there might have been a couple chapters that I didn't have to read in the Baazar one but that is more than made up for with all the reading in my BoM manual and the two books that I did get to read for my personal fun. Yet, even after all of that, I am still planning on reading most of the summer :)
I have learned that roommates are great people and are always there for support. I love all my roommates that I was able to live with this year and that we were able to become such great friends. I already miss them and it is really strange to not see them everyday like normal. We had so many fun times in Horne 58 and here are some pictures from the adventures we had this year.
