Thinking that my freshman year is coming to a close is a
crazy thought for me. My first year flew by as it seems like the first week of
classes was only a week ago. On the other hand it is strange to think that this
time last year I was not friends with any of the people I know now and it is
weird to think about how quickly friendships and relationships were built this
year.
When first coming to Penn State I was not excited. I heard
that it was easy to get lost because there were so many kids and that it was a
“cookie cutter campus”. I ended up choosing the school for my major and nothing
else. After a year has passed I am very glad I ended up choosing Penn State.
The campus seems small but between clubs and classes and my dorm I do not feel
like a number. The people I met in the past year are great and I am glad that my
first year of college played out like it did.
Classes were definitely a part of why my experience went so
well. I loved finally being able to take classes I wanted to take rather than
classes everyone took like in high school. The classes I was required to take
that were not related to my major were a nice change of pace from science and
math classes. English 15 was one of these. English 15 forced me to think
critically and forced me to think about myself and others in a new light. It
opened my eyes to new cultural and artistic events around campus that I can
attend for the next four years. Overall it allowed me to think more deeply and
reflect on the beginning of my college life.
I did my SRTE!
