Where I'm Going.

I decided to write this as a follow up to yesterday's post.

As some of you may know (a very small little amount of you) I have decided to stop my education at my previous university (UBCO) and move to a smaller college that is in the region. I have quite a few reasons for this, for example

1. The most important is that I'm going into a four year business degree at this college, which has better rankings and turn out for post-education than the universities program. Shocker, right?

2. I can't continue doing an hour commute to school three or more times a week. I'm starting to worry that I know the route too well and one day I'll be over tired and convince myself that I am able to drive it while asleep. I wonder if someone would give me a medal if I could...

3. I wasn't myself when I was at my previous school, I had too many bad memories there, too many familiar faces that made me feel like utter crap when I walked by them.

4. I wanted a chance to start over in a sense. I'm not talking about running away from your unsolved problems and hoping that things will be different somewhere new, but instead accepting who you are and trying to grow within that.

I want to try to be more outgoing from the beginning, and not making rash decisions based on first impressions about potential friends. I think that this chance will be a good one for me, and I think that it will help me grow.

Here's to growing.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's Off to School we Go!

I'm sure that not all of you will be able to relate to this, as there may be some of you who are older than me, simply not going to university or some who live in BC (like I do) and are younger, and therefore Christy Clark is being a dink and you're not going to school yet... that's a rant for another day though.

Anywho! Today was the first day of school for many, and for some more specifically, the first day of university or high school, or even middle school. This can be scary stuff! I'm personally going into my second year of university which means i'm fairly settled in when it comes to campus and classes and what not. However, this doesn't mean that it's not nerve wracking.

For those in the more specific category, just remember that you're going to be fine, you'll get used to the changes around you and meet new people and learn new things and all will be well. It's okay if you get lost trying to find a class, or if you have a word fart and pronounce your name wrong when introducing yourself to the people around you. Don't be too hard on yourself today, we're all just living our lives and it'll go on regardless.

All this being said, I hope you had a great first day of school, and many more to come! xx
