I hope I am doing this correctly... if not we will find out. So leaving home is a huge change. It almost feels like I am leaving my life. Originally from upstate New York, I have come accustomed to life in the low country. I have grown up in Myrtle Beach, SC and now the time in my life to REALLY grow up has arrived. It feels like yesterday that I was walking around my high school as a freshman. Now here I am RUNNING around campus as a freshman. The most popular question around would be... " are you a freshman?" I really do miss the beach, maybe not Myrtle Beach but any beach would suffice. I still feel at home sometimes since many of my friends from high school, including my roommate, attend winthrop as well. If I ever do feel homesick I can stay with my sister who lives in Pineville. I am excited though about coming to school. I was ready for a change

Wow. You started a whole new blog on your own! That's impressive. From now on, post to the class blog. When you log in at blogger.com, you'll be able to pick from the two blogs you've signed up for. Still, you can use this one as your own, which is always a blast, and usually therapeutic.
Also, in response to your post, life kind of moves in cycles doesn't it. How many times can a person start over? Plus, it's good to have folks nearby that are close and can take care of you. We're glad you're here.
Well I was going to go back and add to it because I know you asked them to be longer. So I just wanted to add a few more things. Thanks for the response... I did notice I posted it under the wrong thing but hey at least its somewhere... this is all very new!
This is referring back to my blog.
The only thing that I find hard to handle here at school would have to be loosing your independence. I have grown up to be very independent and enjoy being that way. Here I have to ask people who, what, when, where, why, and how. I know I still have to give it a few more days to all sink it. The only way to compare my time here at Winthrop so far would possibly relate to the novel Gulliver's Travels. I read that book my senior year and although it was a LONG ONE... I never thought I'd refer it to anything I would experience. His journeys to different places and meeting all the characters in the story illustrates what I am going through now almost. Instead of giants, there are seniors that seem larger than I am. Even though college seems hard, what in life isn't. You can't have everything for free and the struggles I face in school now I think will only build my character even more. And I have to throw this random thing in here... I have the greatest neighbors in Wofford Emily and Angela and Jennifer and Callie thanks for letting my vacuum my room=)
