It's been an interesting semester. It's been a semester of turning 18, figuring out how to be responsible for myself, missing my family, being in a singles ward for the first time, college dating, college homework, college professors.
Transitioning from a child to an adult: not as scary as I thought it would be, more exciting than anything else.
Turning 18: I have a whole blog post dedicated to that!
Missing my family: I'm not homesick, but I miss my family a lot. It's kinda strangely sad to think that their lives are going on without me. I'm super glad that I can skype and snapchat them, though.
Being in a singles ward for the first time: Pretty overwhelming. In a normal ward, there are a limited number of people your age, and those are the people that you become friends with, and/or date. Now, everyone is a potential friend and/or someone to date. My teachers and leaders are mostly my own age, so that makes them easier to understand and connect to.
College dating: Again, overwhelming. There are so many people at BYU, and pretty much all of them extremely good people. Luckily I'm not worried about serious dating at this point, but instead just getting to know people. I can imagine that it will be a challenge, when I do start thinking about dating more seriously, to sift through the vast number of available people.
College homework: So much harder than high school homework. So much more than there was in high school. Especially for classes with reading, and math and science classes. It's been tough, but I'm learning to manage my time more effectively.
College professors: in general, much less lenient with deadlines than high school teachers. In larger classes, the professors are much harder to get to know personally, but in small classes it seems easier, perhaps because adult students can connect better with their professors than teenage students.
It's been a long semester, but at the same time, it's flown by. Now I just have to do this 7 more times before I graduate!
