Sophomore...

I always feel like I rush these posts. I go back and read them, and they're all written in a hurry; words slurring together, sentences abrupt and short. I really should take my time when writing out my inner thoughts and feelings. I feel like I have a lot to say, but when I write them on my blog, the feelings and emotions that I once felt, aren't correctly written or explained. Honestly, I don't even think this blog has helped me with my feelings and venting. Why am I rushing?

Today was my first day as a Sophomore in college. Walking into my classes, a different feeling walked with me. A sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose, a sense of driven passion. I feel older. I feel much more mature in my educational journey, and I really should take this oppurtunity to give my future all I can give it. When walking into my classes this semester, I want to leave everything at the door. Distractions, worries, pressure, stress... everything. All I need to bring is my attention and determination to do well this semester. I am older. I am a sophomore at one of the top universities in the country, and I should take pride in the fact that I am a living part of this campus. I am one of the successful students who is trying to make something more of herself. This semester, my main goal is to leave everything at the door. Concentration, organization, belief in myself: these are all things I will use to help me with my success.

This semester is going to be amazing - I can tell. I can feel the focus already, and I know that when trusting in myself and God, I can succeed. My goal this semester? Not to get straight A's, not to get a 4.0 GPA, but just to do the very best that I know I have inside of me. I can do it, and I will do it. This is going to be a great year.
