First Week of Classes: Winter Quarter Edition

I have officially made it through my second first week of this school year. Feeling a little bit overwhelmed and under qualified, I still absolutely love being back in Seattle. I have already read over 100 text book pages and am still a little behind but still hanging in. The difference this quarter is that I don't have my terrible psychology class and both of my bio classes are starting to be interesting and kind of ok to learn about. But despite all of the work that comes with college, I love being here and I am going to take advantage of it and marinate in this education.

And on the social side of things, this quarter has started out way fun. I now have class at regular times so I can have lunch with my friends and that has actually been a huge thing for me. Last quarter I skipped a few too many classes out of anxiety and having a convenient break in the day has made a world of difference. And this past weekend my neighbor and friend had a few of his hometown buddies come and visit and I had so much fun getting to know some new people and touring around Seattle. Another thing is that I am just starting to get close with my friends here. Moving to a school in a different state was really hard for me because I didn't have those friends that I met in 3rd grade and know everything about and can talk to about anything. I had to start fresh and that freaked me out. But now I have a group of friends who are amazing and so different in all of the good ways. It is just so refreshing to be surrounded by people that you love.

And on the work side of things. Working almost double the hours but it is way easier now. My schedule was so weird last quarter and I was required to volunteer once a week and my classes just had a lot of weird busy work. Now that my schedule for school is normal and I have better studying habits, picking up the extra hours hasn't taken much of a toll on me at all. I actually enjoy going to work, I work with really nice people and my manager is a total sweetheart.

All in all I think it is pretty easy to tell that this quarter is off to an amazing start and I cannot wait to see what comes.

Also below is twenty one pilots new music video for Truce and it is quite lovely :)

Stay happy, breathe, and enjoy.
