My first year of college has been the best ever. I can't believe it's already over! Life at SMSU has been crazy busy between classes, homework, hanging out with friends, and going to all the activities around campus. Last night was the "end of the year" bash here at SMSU, and it was so much fun! My friends and I ran around in giant hamster balls, which was hilarious because you felt ridiculous and everyone would watch and laugh. There was also a mechanical bull, and I lasted for a solid 2.4 seconds! That was pretty lame, but it was surprisingly hard! There was also a photo booth, and my friends and I were probably in there for like a half hour laughing and taking pictures. Studying for finals is going to take over my life this weekend and next, but thankfully I only have two final tests to study for! One of the fourth floor study lounges, which is one of the really quiet floors, is going to be the home of my friends and I for the next few days, as it is a lot more fun to study with friends than by yourself. I love that there is a place to study besides my room, because my dorm room in Sweetland Hall is full of distractions (AKA my computer, which has Facebook, and my friends right across the hall!).
I'm going to miss my friends that I have met this year so much. It's going to be hard this summer being away from them, because most live a few hours away from me. That is the one of the worst parts about college; being so far away from your friends over the summer! But thankfully, summer is only a few months, and we'll all be back in Marshall! I cannot wait for my sophomore year!
Have a great summer everyone!
