The End >:(

Exactly thirteen months ago, I got accepted into Northeastern University. I accepted the admission and committed about two weeks later. I knew this decision would change my life completely. People always talk about how the years at university are their best and that they wish they could always live those days again (without paying the tuition, I'm sure), so I kept that in mind when I started. It has been almost two semesters in and I know it's not that long but they're right. I have already made some close, even best friends in my two semesters here and had so many wonderful and interesting experience I couldn't have elsewhere. It's a weird feeling now that my first year is coming to an end. 

First Year Writing is probably my favourite class this semester. It has been by far the most interesting class I have had and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. I probably said this before in another blog post but I know I should be appreciative of it because iI don't know if and when I will have a class like it. The class time was the best time. All the discussions we had about so many things, relevant and not so, really got me thinking about things I would not normally think about. Today, when asked what the best part of this class was, there were so many things I wanted to say but I only said one: the attendance questions. This, I know NO other class would do, solely because of how time consuming it can be (and we really went for it). Those questions facilitated interesting discussions, heated debates, and wonderful friendships. Whether we were talking about a cool experience, a weird encounter, or even a ridiculous trait, I feel like it helped us learn so much about each other. 

How common is it for a class to have a group chat? A group of random people from different places, backgrounds, majors, interests just co-existing peacefully can be difficult at times. Now have them actually get along and be friends? We really big brained. 

Service learning was an interesting addition to the class work. I was very cynical about that. I can't say that I completely changed my mind about it because I wouldn't do it again unless I had to. It's just not for me. But it was fun while it lasted. I had some good times in the writers room, it was nice to meet people and connect with them. The people there made it easy and made me feel like I was helpful. 

To end my last blog post, I just want to say that I will miss all of you and I hope we continue to see each other around and keep that group chat active. 

Love you,
