Southern Miss....To The Top!

I’m finally here. After years of preparation, I am now an official college freshman. What am I looking forward to the most? Is it the freshman fifteen? The countless hours of homework and studying? The freedom of making my own decisions? The late nights and early mornings? There are so many new experiences being thrown my way that it’s hard to say which I am enjoying the most. So far, I would have to say that the people I have met have been my favorite part of this college lifestyle. A few thousand teenagers from all over the world shoved into one square mile of cement and pavement sounds pretty horrific, but somehow, it’s been quite the opposite. Here at Southern, people of all different backgrounds, beliefs, likes and dislikes can come together as one. As cheesy as that sounds, I think it’s pretty fantastic. Since I have been here, I don’t think I have met one boring person, and although I may forget names, I am constantly seeing familiar faces around campus. That’s kind of incredible, since I have been here for a total of one and a half weeks, and I know a total of probably 3 people. Everyone has been so welcoming, from my teachers to my roommates to my new sorority sisters. I can’t wait to meet still more new people and learn more about this well kept secret called the University of Southern Mississippi. Why would anyone want to go anywhere else?
