I have just over two weeks until I return to NYUAD for my sophomore year.
Just enough time to relax, reconnect, and reflect on the past year.
My friends say that I have changed - and I knew that, because I don't think you can be away from home, being independant, for a year without changing. My question to their comments is always - "I think I've changed - but what I want to know is if it is a good change"
And I think so. My friends, those who know me best, and who have known me with all of my ups and downs, say that I am calmer than they have seen me. My energy is more relaxed. I am happier.
Adjusting to college was hard - with classes comes independence, distance from home, a new beginning.
As I get ready to start my second year of school, I am excited, like I was last year.
But this is an excitement that holds the knowledge of the challenges I have faced, and those I will face again, and the knowledge that I am one step closer to conquering them.
I am ready for school to start - ready to read, study, perform the RealAD show (so pumped!!!), to intern, learn, grow, and change.
I won't pretend I have everything figured out - quite the opposite. But I am ready (and excited) to keep exploring.
