A Day in the Life

 Wow does time fly! It feels like just the other day my parents were helping my move into my dorm and now I've had a semester full of college firsts and exams are quickly approaching. I came into college unsure about if it was the right choice for me and with some angst towards the thought of returning to school. Over time, I came to really appreciate the college atmosphere and look forward to what I would learn in my classes. Even if there were times where I would rather stay in bed.  Next week I only have two exams that I need to take in person which is a huge relief for my study load. I have my Principles of Public Relations exam on Tuesday and my TREX exam on Wednesday. I have until Thursday to complete my PC Apps exam which is nice because Excel and I don't always get along. After I've finished everything the first thing I plan to do is to go home and take a nice long bath.  I'm sure that break will even faster than this semester has but while I have the chance I...

Time really has flown by in my first semester of college. On the flip side, I feel like six weeks until the end of the semester is so far away!

I've enjoyed my walks across campus to get to my classes but I'm slowly starting to dread them more and more. While I am enjoying the few warm days that we have left I know that once that first snow hits it will be really hard to convince myself to leave the comfort of my bed and make the long trek across campus.  Luckily, Thanksgiving break is coming up, so I won't have to worry about walking out in the cold for a week. I haven't decided if I'm going to go home for the entire break or not, but I do know tha...

 With fall break right around the corner, I figured it was as good a time as any to reflect on how my first semester of college is going. I was definitely nervous coming into college but now that I've gotten pretty adjusted, I feel much more comfortable putting myself out there. I've joined our Latino Student Union as well as our PRSSA chapter. There hasn't been much going to do with LSU as of yet but I'm very excited for my upcoming trip to Nashville, Tennesse with our PRSSA chapter.  As far as actual classes go, I was struggling a bit at first but now that we've started more projects and papers, I'm doing a lot better. I like all of my professors and it's nice that they're understanding when it comes to getting sick or having to miss class. The only thing that has been mildly inconvenient is remembering to make time for homework and not get caught up in clubs or hanging out with friends.  I haven't been very homesick either, which I will attribute ...
