College.

So I've successfully completed my first semester of college. It was okay. It wasn't the best 5 months of my life, but I got through it, I did well in my classes, and I got a job. I love being out on my own and independent and I can't wait to get back to school away from home again. 

I'm confused. I'm just writing to try to figure it all out, I guess. I don't know if this college is necessarily the "perfect fit" for me. I don't want to be out in the middle of nowhere where the only thing there is to do is go to school. I want to be in the middle of a big city where everything is in walking distance. That is where I belong. I keep convincing myself that if I get through college and do well, I can move to somewhere like Chicago, or New York City, but I also want to enjoy college too. It just boils down to not having the money to go to school in a big city. 

I found a job on campus. It's very simple. I'm a computer monitor. I shouldn't be dreading working with such a simple job, but my co-workers make it very difficult to enjoy it. Because of an impressive résumé and interview, I beat out one of their friends who applied for the job, plus a graduate student who also applied. I'm very proud of the fact that my boss thought that I'm more worthy of the job than upperclassmen and graduate students, but I feel like my co-workers don't want me there. I'm trying to just be as nice as possible and ignore the fact that they don't want me there because I need the money. I'm sure at any job a person will run into people they don't particularly get along with, but it'd be nice to work with people who don't want to get you fired.

I'm very independent and self confident so I don't mind being alone, but I haven't met many people that I want to go out and have a good time with. I haven't found my people yet. I guess it's only been one semester and my thoughts will hopefully change. I don't want to be stuck in this thought process. I want to enjoy what's supposed to be the best four years of my life. 

One Direction and my online family is what's helped me enjoy my first college semester. It might sound silly, but we have this small group of people who are just there for each other. It's so comforting to know that someone will always be there to cheer you up. The two highlights of the first semester were going to see Ed Sheeran and One Direction. Honestly, Ed Sheeran's concert was the best day of my life. I waited 12 hours to see him and met some of the greatest people. One Direction was wonderful as well. I spent a weekend in Tampa with my best friend and it was just amazing to see these 5 guys that only existed in pictures come to life. 

One thing I really want to do is study abroad in England. I'm infatuated with the UK. I watch Zoella and all the British YouTubers and it makes me want to experience their culture. Hopefully in the summer of 2016, I'll be able to make this goal come to life. I want to see the world and travel. I don't want to be stuck in a small town for college. I'm going to try to make the most of everything I possibly can. 
So some goals I have for the next couple of years:
•Make more friends
•Find ways to enjoy my free time more
•Study abroad in England

Well I feel like that was a bit rambly, but I tried to summarize what's been happeneing. I feel like I might sound a big depressed, but I promise I'm making the most out of every situation. 
Happy New Year everyone!
