Flashbacks to first year.

Hey people! I'm sorry once again for not posting in quite sometime. I've been very busy had been going though some ex-boyfriend issues but now that, that's all over and done with I was able to come up with some free time to post. (Even if it is 1:10am in the morning)

Some of you might be wondering why I'd be posting so late. Well, simple enough, I had a two hour nap from 7:30-9:30 so now I'm wide awake and chances are I won't be getting to sleep till around two :) So why not do some blogging!? Anyways tonight I decided to talk about university. A year ago around this time I was finding out what residence I would be staying in, I was meeting lots of people on my university's freshmen Facebook page by comparing schedules and finding out who my neighbours were. It's amazing to think this all happened a year ago!

Tonight I was looking at my different Facebook pages and I was looking at updates and saw there was one in Class of 2015. I went on the group and saw a posting about this year's class of 2016 group and how it was buzzing with anticipating first years and the post also mentioned how this was us last year. I commented mentioning all the things I missed about first year and soon enough I was having a random conversation with some people on the group and right there I started having flashbacks to first year.

I'm lucky enough to have one of my friends going into first year so I'm able to give her advice and help her out by finding facebook groups for her and stuff like that but I'm also reliving my first year anticipation with her. It's almost sad when I think about it because I miss first year so much! I miss meeting fellow first years and ordering my first university textbooks and getting new bedding and other colourful things for my new residence room and all those crazy things! I also miss that anticipating feeling of starting university for the first time ever and being on my own for longer than a week. And the excitement of walking around campus from class to class and being apart of an amazing university.

Although I am no longer a first year I'll still be living on campus in residence, I'll living in the townhouses so I'll need to get some cook wear since I'll get to cook and bake. And I'm still getting those anticipating feelings but it's just not the same. First year was the best year of my life, the best year of any school. A word of advice for people who are starting a new journey at university. Make the most of your first year! You only get to be a first year once! Try new things, join lots of clubs, attend football games, go to parties and make LOTS of memories :) You'll never have a dull moment in university, I gaurentee it :)
