Life's Questions, as well as a few answers.

The more I learn, the more I realize how stupid I am. College Life.

I want to first start off by saying that since I have been in college and have been learning more than I ever have in my life, my questions have substantially increased in numbers and difficulty. How is that even possible? The more I learn, the more questions I have. Needless to say, I have been thinking a lot recently, as in the past few weeks or so. From Makowski's history class, to forum, to my awesome Psychology class, and even church, I have been pondering so many things. There is one question, however, that has kept reappearing, as if I am being told something.
The question is: who am I. In high school, it is easy to define yourself. You are a daughter, a student (probably honors in our case), a band member, an athlete, a Christian, a democrat..etc and the list goes on and on. You have clear identities that normally stay stagnant during your time there. College, however, is a completely different story. You are no longer really defined by the same things. It could possibly be a time to change your identities, or just add new ones. I have been flooded with so many new opportunities since I have been here. It is hard trying to balance it all.
Therefore, I have not yet figured out exactly who I am. I know who I want to be, and who I have been. The question of who I am right now though is still a work in progress. I do not mean to sound lost or confused, but I am pretty sure I am not the only one really figuring our their place right now.
Every class, every church service, and most conversations I have had have challenged that question. They have made me think a whole lot, probably a lot more than I should.
College has been super fun so far, as well as stressful and very challenging. Let's be honest, college is freakin hard. We are definitely not in high school anymore. Classes definitely stress me out sometimes, but not as much as band does. That my friends, is not something  for the weak at heart. I think if I did not have band, college would be a lot less stressful and busy. But, I am in the POD, and I am proud of it. We work our butts off. Despite the busy schedule and stress, I have found time to engage in fun college activities, such as Waffle House at 3 a.m. I never knew how good Waffle House was until I came to college. So, I am having a great time. I have learned a lot about myself as a person, as well as determined some goals for myself and future.
Despite all the questions, my future looks bright. I am thankful for the adventures I have had, as well as excited for the ones ahead.

Check in next time.
