October Update

Headline: October Update

I cannot believe that it is October! Sometimes, I still cannot believe that I am a college student, seeing at this time last year I was in the midst of the Common Application saga.

Anyways, time flies, especially in college. Just last week, I was on fall break. Now, I am back on campus! So much happens so fast: moving in, meeting people, joining clubs, starting classes, taking midterms, fall break, the list goes on.

Which is why I want to mention my transition into college. Transitioning into anything new is never easy, especially a transition into the world of college. As this is the first time being away from home for an extended period of time, the transition has taken time. I am still becoming acclimated to my surroundings.

Yet, I am grateful that the students and faculty are kind, the campus is easy to navigate, and there are many picturesque places on my walks (pictured below).

I have already made some great friends, some that I can truly see as lifelong friends.

I look forward to becoming better acclimated to college as my time progresses.

Thank you for stopping by.

Sincerely,

Serena

Hello! Welcome to Serena’s Story.

Hi again! I would like to welcome you to my blog and introduce myself with a few facts about me.

  1.  In my free time, I enjoy reading, going shopping, and spending time with my parents.
  2. My most favorite author is Jane Austen (although I love many others!)
  3. History is my favorite subject, and I plan on majoring in this!
  4. My favorite sports team is the Patriots, and I enjoy watching them play on Sundays.
  5. I have one dog named Niki.
  6. I enjoy taking flower photos.
  7. My favorite color is purple (naturally).

Aside from facts about me, I would like to note that I realize for many current seniors in high school, the college search, and selection process is in full swing. It is Common Application, tour session, and interview season. I remember this time vividly, and I hope that through my blog, I can alleviate some nerves, as I have first-hand experience with many of them!

Also, besides sharing college tips, I will share other anecdotes about Life on The Hill.

I look forward to sharing my story as a first-year student throughout the year!

Thank you for stopping by.

Sincerely,
Serena
