Social Life

    I definitely spend more time socializing now than I did in high school. It's so much easier to see your friends when they live literaly five minutes away from you and some of them live just right down the hall! My friends are really different people. One of my best friends is a fencer and another is a political science major. Most of my friends live on my hall. I live in a special living option called Discover House. It was designed for freshman students who are undecided in their major. I signed up for Discover House because I was undecided until a month before fall classes started.

    I actually started my transition into college in the summer. I took the last summer session, and most of my best friends that I have now I made during that summer. I took a buisiness seminar, a business ethics class, and group speech. I thought that I might want to go into buisiness as an actuary because I love math and I had never taken a buisiness class before. By the end of the summer, I knew that I belonged in music. I still practiced throughout the summer, but I missed being part of a band and I knew that I wasn't going to end up as happy in business as I would in music. So, I auditioned about two weeks before fall classes started, was accepted into the program, and changed every course in my schedule with an exception of my math class. I kept my pretty strenuous math course because math still excites me and I enjoy it for the most part.
