Hi everyone! I now have four weeks <\/span>in<\/span> Iowa under my belt <\/span>and almost three weeks of classes of <\/span>the first<\/span> year done! <\/span>Some huge transitions come with coming to college, <\/span>and there are some that <\/span>I am<\/span> still getting used to! <\/span>Waiting for washer<\/span>s and dryers, dining hall food, living independently, and taking more difficult courses are just a few new challenging things that are coming my way each day<\/span>. There<\/span> are also so many amazing things that come with this stage of life. <\/span>I am<\/span> making so many new friends<\/span> and having the first look at <\/span>what my professional career might look like.<\/span> I participated in On Iowa! week which was so busy and fun. My social battery at the end of every day was completely empty because I was talking to so many new people and trying new things. There was bingo, friendship bracelet making, a silent disco, kickoff at Kinnick, self-care carnival, the president block party, and poster sales, just to name a few! I also did Honors Primetime, which was a course offered (for free) to all honors students during On Iowa! week. I chose to take “The Psychology of Food” and I thought it was a great\/quick way to earn an experiential learning credit in only three days and meet a few people in the program. Thanks for tagging along and I’ll update soon!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
