Yes, Grand Valley ends the school year at the end of April. Early right? I even made it home in time to see my friends off to prom. Anyways,
(Deep sigh). So many hangouts. So many tests. So many emotions. I have a crapload of thoughts on April so let's categorize and mention a few of them; starting with friends.
Friends: I didnt realize i would miss my GV fam so much when it was time to pack up and leave. I cried many a tear over these kids when i left. I was one of the first of the crew to go back home because i didnt have many finals to take. It was really sad. I guess when I think about it that's what happens when you live with people and get to know them over a year. I ate with them, we shared clothes, got lost downtown Grand Rapids together, partied together, took care of one another when we were feeling down or got sick... I remember when all I wanted was my friends back at home and i didnt even want to get to know the kids at grand valley; especially first semester. I felt like I didnt need friends because i had friends back home. Im so glad i changed my attititude and met some great people. I cant wait to go back to grand valley for next year.
Grades: ugh. I was so nervous about failing my ethics class I could barely sleep at night. I have never done so crappy in a class before. I hardly ever went to lectures (because i was embarrassed i sucked), and i didn't participate. On top of all that i didn't turn all my work in because i was just so far behind. Luckily for my stupid ass my professor is an easy grader and im a beast at writing papers. Instead of giving a final the professor gave a take home essay. FTW. I passed the class (barely) with a C+. My other classes went well though. I got A's and B.s in my other courses and i pulled a 3.0 GPA for second semester. I think I did pretty well for my first year. Could have been better, but I know for a fact that my grades will be better next fall. My main goal for next year is to raise my GPA.
Guys:My love life was basically non-existent at school. When i say i was not interested in any guys, i am not exaggerating in any way shape or form. I didn't want to be bothered with any of the grand valley guys. The only guy i thought i wanted to date had a girlfriend (fail). but after i found that out i basically didn't see anyone i wanted to date. And man, i wanted to date. badly. But i just wasn't going to find him on campus. Luckily for me there were plenty of other things to focus on at school besides guys, like Black Student Union and YBBW. Speaking of YBBW i was elected to the executive board and i am now a public relations rep for my sisterhood :). Another reason to be excited for next year :D
Family: oh how i missed them. i was so excited to see them; even though my dad decided not to take the truck up to school to pack all my stuff up. we ended up giving away some of my stuff because we couldn't fit it in the car. watching zach skip down the street with my fridge is an image i will keep in my mind for a long time. The ride home was pretty bittersweet; i was leaving my friends from school but at the same time i was coming home to family and my best friends, which might as well be family.
