Growth and Learning

I knew coming into college that I was going to be learning a lot of knew information but I did not really expect to learn some much out of the classroom. There is a lot of information to learn here at Iowa State! Information ranges from things learned in the classroom to social information and traditions.

My first week at Iowa State was terrifying to me, especially the first day. After my parents left, I had know idea what to do with myself. My roommate was in marching and so she was never around. I made friends with people on my floor. Destination Iowa State also helped me meet people and I learned a lot about this school.

As the weeks went on, I have made new friends and learned the ways of this college. I have also learned a thing or two in my classes. I feel that my experiences so far have really a loud me to open up more and explore my options for the future. When I returned for Thanksgiving break, I could tell that I have changed since I arrived in August. While hanging out with my friends during break that attend other colleges, I noticed how they have change and it also helped me see how I have changed too.

A semester has not yet gone by but yet I do not feel like the same person I was from a few months ago. I have learned a lot so far at this university and I have three and a half semester to grow and learn a lot more information.
