My first night in college
Honestly, College is super boring and I miss my family. Just joking it's only my second day and I'm loving it. I know my last post " Five reasons why I'm ready to go to school", I explained how much I was ready to leave and I was able to move in earlier then the typical freshman which was fun. I've really just been exploring and finding my way around this HUGE place. If you're new to my blog, I attend Michigan State University. Its a very big university located in Michigan. But any way, Yeah I love it up here. Yesterday I moved in with international students. Mostly asian in my dorm hall. Ya know I never noticed how fashionable the asian culture is. They are very trendy!!! It was interesting to talk to the people who aren't from America.
So after I moved in yesterday, I took some time to get my mind together. I think that this is very essential when you're moving to a new place. I put on some very calming music and gathered my thoughts. I would also recommend moving in early; no traffic, you don't have to worry about your roommates family and your family being secluded in such tight space, and you can be alone for a night. I'm really happy I was chosen for this opportunity. I decided to take a walk around campus when the sun started to set and sat by the river and it was beautiful.
It's kind of hitting me that I am up here alone.... I have this one guy I'm getting to know and he is up here and a few mentors but other than that I feel kind've foreign. I like the feeling though. Finding everything on my own and teaching myself how to depend on myself.
I started off today at the gym around 8AM and wrapped that up around 10AM... Then I did some research about Apple products and decided I wanted the new mac book pro. I went along and purchased one. The people at the MSU computer shop were really helpful and I was excited because I received free wireless beats with my purchase. This computer is really nice and I'm happy about my purchase. I mean 1,400 is a lot but it's worth it if you have the money to spend. Then I headed back to my dorm and called my bestfriend who goes to college in Atlanta. We have been talking in college way more than high school which seems backwards but I mean i'm not complaining. After we politicked for an hour or so I spent some time playing with photoshop on my computer, that was different. Then I sluggishly went to a 2 hour meeting for my job, that was SUPER FUN. Lastly, enjoyed a long walk to Chipotle and It was worth every mile. Now I am enjoying the beautiful scenery in the middle of campus. Its a vibrant ray of sun shining west of us, looks like its preparing for a 8pm sun set. Some beautiful flowers and cool summer evening breeze. Times like this I very much treasure. It'll be snowing tomorrow. hahahaha.....

5 Reasons why I'm ready for school to start
If you don't know then you soon will! This summer I will be attending the illustrious Michigan state University!!! I will be the first in my family to attend college and I also have a full ride!!
I am beyond proud of myself!! I would just like share a few reasons why I am super excited about attending a great university this fall.
I am beyond proud of myself!! I would just like share a few reasons why I am super excited about attending a great university this fall. 1. OPPORTUNITY
I am attending a school FILLED with great opportunities to be successful. Everyday I m receiving new letters about the different on campus resources! Going into a very competitive field I will have to be on all of my toes at all times and taking advantage of all on campus opportunities.
2. NETWORKING
I will be surrounded by NEW great people every single day. I am so happy that Michigan state university is not a small university. I will be able to find great people and every frills and meet people who can truly help my career and I know I can help them as well.
3. FREEDOM
I never had very strict parents but there is nothing like being a complete adult. I am in charge of my bills, I am paying for my own school, and I am responsible for myself. This has to be one of my most exciting things about moving away from home. It seems like being eighteen everyone wants you to still abide by their youth rules but want you to hold yourself as an adult. To stay away from that I am moving away! If anything goes wrong I will have to blame myself and revive quickly! 
4. New friends
I plan on meeting many new people! I already have two room mates who I don't know and it's exciting to me them. My other room mate is one of my great friends who I'm also excited about getting to know better. I can finally find friends who are completely interested in the same things as me! I love media, blogging, art, music, love, YouTube , traveling, creative directing, decorating, inspirational speaking, church, and broadcast journalism!! I know I'll find great people who love tear things as well
.
5. Stronger Relationship with God
What better time to build your spiritual life than in college when you're completely on your own. No more being forced to go to church every Sunday or bible schools you have to do it all on your own, it's your choice. I plan on building up and staying strong with him. I deserve to be spiritually focused and stirred into the right direction. I want to be very intact with God. I hope I find a good church in east Lansing.
