FBI Reflection

At the beginning of this semester I was excited for college. I definitely did not think it was going to be has hard as it has been. I knew I would make friends, but I did not know exactly where to start. I am definitely an extrovert, but when it comes to meeting new people I can be pretty shy. I would walk into huge classrooms full of hundreds of kids and get nervous about where I should sit. I would do my best to find someone in a Delta Gamma t-shirt, but most of the time, that was not the case. I would just try to feel people out and try to sit next to the person that seemed the friendliest. I am so thankful for the people that I chose to sit next to. Now, those people are some of my best friends.

I have learned that you aren’t always going to feel comfortable in situations, but I believe that is where I grow the most. When I am forced to talk to new people I will make friends, because my options are to do that or to just be lonely. As an extrovert, the first option was the most appealing to me. While at A&M this first semester has taught me so much. I have learned a lot about myself and the person that I want to become. I have pushed myself in ways that I never thought I could, I believe that I am becoming the best version of myself. I no longer worry about pleasing others, I just do what I want to do. I worry less of what others think of me, and worry more if I like the person that I see in the mirror. In college, I hear about how most people become depressed, but I am living my best life. Yes, classes are hard and I wish I was doing other things, but I am learning more than just the curriculum that my professors are teaching.

In the future, I hope to become an independent woman who can provide for herself. I hope I can travel the world, because I am sure after my study abroad junior year, that is all I am going to want to do. I hope I can get internships that provide me with background knowledge in the field I wish to enter into. But, most of all I hope I don’t let work swallow me whole. I hope to learn how to balance my work with other priorities. If I am not enjoying my life, then I am not living. This class has set a backbone for my understanding on who I wish to be as a business woman and how to achieve all of my goals. I am very excited to see what the future holds for me.
