Dear Freshman Year, <\/p>\n
Thank you for giving me such a great year. Though it had its ups and its downs, I am proud to say that I made it through my first year of college.<\/p>\n
Thank you freshman year for teaching me that it\u2019s okay to play basketball at 3 in the morning in order to relieve some stress.<\/p>\n
Thank you for allowing me to meet some great, new lifelong friends, some that I will never forget.<\/p>\n
Thank you for teaching me that studies come first but taking study breaks is what really makes the difference.<\/p>\n
Thank you for revealing to me the importance of sweat pants, leggings, and workout shorts, and how they aren’t just for working out. They are a very fashionable choice for going to class in every day.<\/p>\n
Thank you for proving to me that 7 a.m. classes are not okay if you like to stay up until 3 a.m.<\/p>\n
Thank you for showing me that it\u2019s perfectly fine to take a nap when I am overly stressed.<\/p>\n
Thank you for teaching me that just about every CBU event has free food.<\/p>\n
Thank you for introducing me to my new passions and hobbies.<\/p>\n
Thank you for giving a new family of sisters that I can call my own forever.<\/p>\n
Thank you for teaching me that long boarders rule the sidewalks of CBU and you do risk getting run over every day while walking to class.<\/p>\n
Thank you for teaching me that I need to shower before anything happens.<\/p>\n
Thank you for providing me with 15 new T-shirts because my workout shirt count was critically low. (CBU is the real MVP.)<\/p>\n
CBU has definitely taught me much more than I can recall. The year is coming to a close, and I can say that I definitely loved it. There were times when I struggled, but things worked out in the end and I am glad I wasn\u2019t anywhere else. Now that this year is over, it\u2019s time to build new experiences and create new memories that will last a lifetime. Sophomore year, here I come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
