My first semester of college is... OVER. I was just talking to Camille today about how it felt like we just came for the interview weekend and how this semester flew by so quickly. Gosh, I can't believe how fast it went.
I think this semester I learned not only Calculus (ahem.) and Chemistry (...right..) but also things about life. I learned how to cope with loving people who live far away, much more so than ever now that my dad is in D.C. I learned that what you learn from a class, the experiences you gain, and the amazing people you meet matter more than the final numerical average you receive in a class, and as long as you worked your butt off for something that didn't work out---you didn't fail. Having a room mate taught me how to live with someone and reminded me to be considerate of others, but also made me realize that I need to learn to be less boring (haha!). Philosophizing on the couch (:D), we've realized that we aren't all that important, life is more than just what you know in college, and in the end, all that matters are the people and values in your life.
And most important of all, sometimes you just gotta let go and have a dance party.
From now on, I'll try not to take myself too seriously and have those adventures before my wife gets old (Up reference. Please watch this movie! It is amazing.).
I hope everyone has an amazing week of finals. Do your best and go for it.
Love,
Emily
