Best part of warm Iowa City is how everyone goes out to hammock and chill outside.
Hello everyone! Long time no see! Spring is here! The snow has melted! Happy me is back!
I can’t believe freshman year is almost over, it genuinely flew by! It was filled with ups and downs. All in all, I can genuinely say I am so happy with my decision to come to Iowa and get out of my comfort zone and study in a state that I had never been to. Although all my friends cannot believe I went from California to Iowa, I have no regrets. I have met some of the most sweet, caring and loving people here. I am honestly so sad that summer break in Iowa is so long. It goes from early May to late August that’s almost 4 months of break. Anyone else would be super excited about this, but I am distraught. I wish break was shorter so I could come back to Iowa City quicker and see my friends faster.
The thing I am going to miss most about freshman year is the fact that all my friends won’t be all together anymore. The majority of my friends have signed their leases for apartments and will not be living on campus anymore.
As I mentioned in my last post, I had to withdraw from studying abroad and thus had to find late housing, which means I will be living in the dorms again with my best friend as a roommate. I am not upset about it, except for the fact that I wish I was living on the East side instead of the west side. Other than that, I love living on campus. (PS. I will definitely be studying abroad in the future!)
As for my schedule, since I was an open major throughout my entire freshman year, I finished all of my Gen Eds (except for three) throughout these first semesters. Therefore, my schedule for next year is more relaxed and filled with courses that I actually want to take, i.e. art classes, video-making courses, media classes, etc.
I hope summer takes a while to come because I am having the time of my life!
