Content With Life

So, I am officially back at Rochester College, and as I have been back I have realized that I belong here. Over the summer I put some very serious thought into transferring to Oakland University, as is now quite obvious, I decided not to go there. There is something pulling me to Rochester College. For some reason I cannot imagine being at any other school with any other people. I have had my ups and my downs with this school and I am still dealing with some of the repercussions of some of my actions, but the people here are so wonderful. Not only the students, but the staff that I come in contact with when I am on campus; everyone is so friendly. I have some of the most wonderful friends here and they are friends that I know I will have for a lifetime.

Classes have been an adjustment after a long summer of doing literally nothing. Though, I think I am adjusting pretty well. The only thing is classes are so exhausting. They are very mentally draining, and on my 8-5 days I find it especially difficult not to burn out. I am sure that it will get easier with time, though.

Another adjustment I have had to make is not living on campus. This year, as one of the before mentioned repercussions, I am commuting. It is very different than living on campus. I have to be up much earlier and share bathroom time with many more people. I also do not have the social life I had when I lived on campus. When living on campus it was easy to hang out with people, but now, not so much.

Despite all of the mental exhaustion and new adjustments, I am very content with the way my life is right now. Everything is falling into place.
