This might sound cliche but life has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I started college seven years ago! Wow! that’s a while ago. I loved my college life at UC Santa Cruz. This is when the journey of getting to know myself started but in reality I had no idea it even started. It’s been a rough yet amazing journey. After seven years, I now come to realization that I need to embrace who I am. Moving to another city at the age of 18 was crazy! I moved to Santa Cruz with my best friend at the time. Some young adult drama happened ( immature stuff) so we are no longer in contact… although I do have her on Facebook. Anyways, I was just a young girl who wanted to explore the world and did not know what to do with all the freedom given that I used to live with my parents.
I simply remember the first weekend of college, where I somehow ended up un my first ever frat party. (Yes, fraternities exist at UC Santa Cruz). Well, my college life was not necessarily about partying but about making friendships that until this day exist. Stressful days taught me that I can handle anything in life if I can handle school and work. I was able to manage a social life despite all the school work and work I had. Also, the first time I fell in love and the second time was in college. I experienced long distance relationship in college and I also met the love of my life in college.
