Hey guys.
I will not be returning as a student blogger next year.
This is it.
Goodbye.
I’m joking, of course. It’s true, I won’t be returning next year, but I hope that I will in my junior year! Next year will just be so busy, and unfortunately, this blog has had a tendency to fall to the wayside already, so I know I will not be able to keep up with the very high demand of my extremely large readership next year. I may start something independent, though, so be on the lookout for that! I’ll let you know on my Instagram (@schuessical).
Even though the University of Iowa was not my first choice—it was barely on my radar until my aunt, an MS and PhD graduate of UIowa, suggested it—I could not be happier that I am here. It hasn’t been all good; I’ve shared that! Living on your own is hard, having a roommate is hard, and college classes are hard. But I’ve had a most wonderful year, and I hope I was able to capture some of the magic I’ve experienced.
The key to survival is a support system. It’s not always easy or straightforward; friends come and go, with conflict or without, throughout the year. The people I am ending with, I did not necessarily start with. As I gushed about in my last blog, though, I think I’ve found the exact right people for me.
I wish I had more thoughts for you all, but it’s an overwhelming time of year—school is ending, summer is beginning; friends are leaving and graduating, and I’m going back home. Time is rushing forward, but I feel suspended in time, soaking it in. I can’t put everything I’ve experienced into words; I guess you just had to be there.
So… goodbye.
But don’t be a stranger 🙂
