I know, crazy, right? I can&#8217;t believe how far I have come. I am so excited for this year, but I am also a little sad that it will be my last year! I have so many memories and moments of growth, but I can feel that this year is gonna be my best yet. My first day was pretty chill, though. I got up early to make it to the Pilates Class at CWRC at 6:15, then I didn&#8217;t have classes till 9:30, so I did some filming for my socials. I made content for my Instagram and TikTok. I also got changed out of my workout clothes and into my fit for the day!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My first class this year was my advanced poetry class. I loved it. I knew half of the people already, and everyone was so friendly. I also LOVE poetry, and I think this will be a super cool class to have!!! Then I had work from 11-2 in the admissions office. I got to meet all the people who will be working over the school year. I really like all my co-workers, we all get along and just like to chat. Then the Street Hawk food truck gave me a free veggie burger for lunch, which made my day! I had my ASL class after that. It&#8217;s super cool because we will not be allowed to speak except in ASL this semester. I did stop by the mini-Target to grab a few things after that. My day ended with me going home and cuddling my cat while watching SVU Law and Order. I truly can&#8217;t believe my senior year is starting! I can&#8217;t wait to make amazing memories this last year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cheers\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rose\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Everyone, GUYS IT&#8217;S MY LAST YEAR OF COLLEGE!!!!
