Two Years Later and it's Back to Posting

Hey guys!  Well, It finally happened...  I graduated college!  I was crazy busy in my last two years; that's why I hadn't posted in forever and a day! I'm happy to be posting again.  As my friends and family know, my five year journey in college was really trying for me! There were times that I just wanted to quit.  I'm so glad I didn't though!  College might have been one of  the most difficult times in my life thus far, but I met some of the coolest people at school!  I got to follow in my mom's footsteps and join, a sorority, and make friends I know that will last a lifetime!  (That sounds ridiculously cliché  I know but it's true!)  Aside from the "typical"memories I made in college, I learned way more than I ever thought I would, and no, I don't mean information from textbooks.  I learned how to advocate for myself, I learned the importance of just letting stuff go. I had professors that didn't give a hoot about my situation and would mark me down for not going to class because my chair would short out due to a really terrible rainstorm!  That's ok though, situations like that taught me the importance of not getting so angry, but just fighting for fairness in my situation.

My last year of college was one that I enjoyed a lot.  I had an internship as part of my social work degree.  My internship was an eye-opening experience for sure.  I worked at a homeless shelter.  My job was to assist clients in anything that they might have needed.  This was something as simple as getting them bus tokens so that they get to work, or helping them call their insurance company so that they would be able to go to the doctor.  I liked my internship because it allowed me to be reflective.  I used to think my life was difficult until I met some of those clients.  They were some of the most resilient people that I had ever met in my life.  My internship allowed me to notice the little blessings in my life and enjoy them more!  I guess that's the biggest thing I took away from my time in school for those five years!  Life may seem difficult and down right annoying at times, but it can also be awesome, too!  It''s all about perspective!

Until next time,
