Leaving Home

It is so hard to believe it marks three years since I started college here at UNC Greensboro. Things have changed a lot then– new friends, going away from home, adjusting to college life, changing majors, career choice and being independent. Along with that, I think it made a lot of changes within me as well. These last three years have definitely helped me to become a better version of myself, get perspective, get out of my comfort zone and change my mentality. When I first came here, I was really a girl with so much anxiety who knew literally no one other than a few people from back home. I was frightened out of my mind, thinking if I will fit in and adjust to the new college. From all the long nights in the library, binge coffee drinking session, little dance parties in my room, crying over the phone with my family, skipping class to hang out with friends, getting drunk together, spontaneous road trips, I can not believe these past few years have passed by in the blink of an eye. The sense of community at this place is unmatched. I honestly wouldn’t trade these past three years of my life at UNCG for anything. As much as I will miss this campus and the people tremendously, I am ready to move on with my life and onto the next chapter.
