I have been in college for 86 days now and I have, per usual not updated the blog. I think that this is something while, not uncommon, a vessel for release of emotions and feelings that has a larger effect than my precious journal.

So many things have happened.

Thus far, college has simultaneously been the best and most stressful time of my life. Being in a sorority is the most rewarding choice I could have made and I am so incredibly thankful for all of the events that led me to Kappa Delta and to all of the strong women I have met here. These people are my rock, my heart and soul, and I have only known them a few months.

Academically, school has not been as exciting to say the least. To be or not to be a STEM major, that is the question of my college experience thus far. It is important that I decide in order to figure out what classes to take for next quarter but I change my mind about what I want to do all the time and I don't want to definitely go down a certain path if there's a possibility that I will want to do something radically different in a few months, weeks, or even days.

But overall, I'm doing really well. There have been some serious pits along with these peaks, but I'm thriving. To quote myself, "my heart is so, utterly and completely full of joy and peace I am nearly brought to tears. I know that UW is exactly where I need to be - and even within that, KD is where I'm supposed to be."
