Home Sweet Home

Well, I've been at Virginia Tech for about four days now...and I LOVE IT!! Classes haven't even started yet, but I'm having a blast.

When I first got here I was a little weary. I didn't know anyone (except my sister) and I was really far from home and all of my friends. But, the past few days have already started to help bring me out of my shell. Once I stopped being shy and decided to just walk down my hall and talk to any random person who had their door open, I already started to make some friends!

I can already tell this is going to be a great year and I can't wait for my classes to start and to meet even more people. I'm super excited for college...I have a feeling I'm going to get Blacksburg-sick when I go home for breaks.

Well, gotta run! People to see and places to go :) Keep a look out for what cool stuff I might be up to next!

Four.

Four Days. That's all the time I have left in Queen Anne's County, MD. Four days to pack up my entire life. Four days to say goodbye to all of the people who have impacted my life, both good and bad, for the past 18 years. Four days to "grow-up". Four days until I will be calling Blacksburg,VA my new home. Four days until I start to make my mark on the Virginia Tech campus.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am incredibly excited. I'm about to make the biggest transition to date, and start an entirely new chapter in my life. But, as I'm sitting here trying to come up with something witty, funny, and interesting to write about for my first blog post, all that seems to be running through my mind are all of the memories I've managed to collect over the past four years, some great and some not so great. High school was an eye opening and life-changing experience, so I can't even begin to imagine what college will be like. 
All I can do now, is reflect on the memories I've made, and look forward to the ones I am going to make as I transition into adult-hood.

So, I guess I'm leaving my first, not so witty, funny, or interesting blog post on that note because if the next four days are going to be anything like the past four years they'll be gone before I have time to blink my eyes, leaving me with no time to waste. This girl has some packing to do!
