First Week of College

The first week of college was scary and exciting. So far I have loved almost every second of it. It is so much better than high-school and I can hardly wait to continue on this great journey.

So far my favorite class has probably been UCCP or Cultural Perspectives. I love to read and I was excited by all the books that were shipped to my house month ago for it. Not to mention, my teacher, Dr. Vaughn Cross is amazing. She is hands down my favorite teacher. She teaches the class in a way that is interesting yet simple. She also really lets us run the conversations and will put little inputs when needed. She seems to really love what she does and wants us to love it too.

The only class I am a bit concerned about it Pre-Cal. I have excelled at math in the past and last week was pretty easy but I have fear for the future. My teacher is very good but she teaches very differently from the way I was taught in the past. It can confuse me a bit but luckily I have some friends in that class that could help me if ever needed. Khan Academy has also already been a helping hand, so it may be tricky but I can manage.

Having a "challenge" like college is exciting. I love doing hard tasks and seeing what I am capable of, this is why high school was incredibly boring for me. I can sense college is going to be a great 6 years!

One friend I made was technically in my connection group. We really didn't get close though until she said she wanted to run. I love to run and it really helps me get rid of nerves. We became fast friends and have different interests but still get along well. Her, another friend, and I have started hanging out together and it is nice to have two girls I can be with whenever needed(even if all our classes are all different).

On Wednesday actually we all went to the planetarium together! It was me, Olivia, and Maddie(my two friends) with a few others. It was so amazing to see all the planets and stars. It was really something I look forward too and I can't wait to go again.

I also went to the student organization fair on Thursday with a different Maddie(there are quite a few :)). We both showed interest in joining the Cultural Club. I was interested because I lived in Singapore for about a year and a half. This made me super interested in the world and cultures around me and I can't wait to see all the different cultures they do.

Overall this whole week was great! I was really expecting nothing exciting and mainly just mean teachers but I was awesome to see that they really care. I can't wait to continue my Samford Career!
