Sorry I haven\u2019t posted in a while. Coming back from Spring Break meant one thing, school is coming to an end. Crazy to say that my first year of college is almost over. It sounds clich\u00e9 but I honestly still feel like I just moved in yesterday. Being here for five months I have learned a lot of things. Although I am no expert I thought I would share what I know now.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>It\u2019s completely acceptable to not have your life together\u2026 Let me put it this way I have worn my minion slippers out in public on numerous occasions.<\/li>\n<li>You aren\u2019t a morning person. No matter how early you used to get up for high school, college time is different. 8ams now feel like 4ams and 10:30 classes are almost still too early. My schedule next semester has been updated for this change.<\/li>\n<li>Iowa is good at football. I know we all know this but I thought I would just remind anyone reading. 12-0 regular season.<\/li>\n<li>Winter actually means winter. Even though people have told me that this is mild and I\u2019m still surviving. Winter here is not 65 degree weather with sun. But, I\u2019ll admit spinning around in the snow is still fun, even when people look at me like I\u2019m crazy.<\/li>\n<li>Diploe-Dipole bonds are the second weakest bonds. This fact is courtesy of my roommate Mags Dull. You probably didn\u2019t care about this and don\u2019t actually find it important, but honestly neither do I.<\/li>\n<li>You WILL be broke. No matter how much money you have you are always broke. Especially at the beginning of the semester when you are pretty much taking out a mortgage to buy books.<\/li>\n<li>You will have the most amazing time ever. No matter where you go, the experiences you have will be second to none. I have been here for less than a year and I can say I have made lifelong friends (shout out again to Mags Dull) and have learned more than I could have imagined. The amount of growing up I have done here is substantial. I am so grateful for being able to have this experience and wouldn\u2019t trade it for the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Until Next Time<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">Go Hawks!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well hello there!
