Week one of my last semester of college come to an end and I wanted to take a few moments to reflect on the past four years. From the time I entered college until now, I would like to think that I have grown as a person. I have started to value different parts of my life. I have been blessed with wonderful roommates for all four years, and I have learned how great friends can be to live with. I have found some strong passions and I have made organic friendships that I am confident will last my life. I have learned how to talk -- professionally and personally. I have understood the importance of talking to the ones closest to you about things that matter, regardless of how hard it might seem. I have learned to be inquisitive about my life and I am no longer afraid of gently pushing others close to me to open up too. I feel like my relationship with my parents has started to grow more into an adult relationship and I have no reason to believe that it won't continue on this path. I have become more comfortable with my body, more confident in how I look and feel. I think my taste in music has gotten a lot better (thanks to my friends). I watch a lot more tv shows and Youtube videos. I am still working on being more informed. I am working on being unjudgmental. I am working on really standing up for what I believe in. I am working on not letting what other people think stop me from what I am doing. I am working on telling people how I feel and why I feel that way. I am working on making friends. This semester I only have 3 classes: my last computer science class, my last stats class, and a class on social problems in the US. I got a membership at the pottery studio. I am a co-lead of UF's hackathon. I am going to the gym consistently, thanks to Koen. I cook for myself and I love it. I will start planning for a potential post-grad Europe trip with Yasmina (as long as covid doesn't interrupt us). I am happy :)
I know the last year was very hard for a lot of people so I really hope this doesn't sound like a brag or seem insensitive. My goal for this blog has always been the same -- to have a time capsule of my thoughts and experiences, which is what I tried to do today.
