SCU...a dream come true

I am here, living and loving the life of a college student. I am at my dream school, my first choice, the place that at one point seemed completely out of reach. It is absolutely everything I have ever dreamed of. My classes challenge my mind and force me to think about things that I have never before questioned. I have met so many fun and caring and awesome people, my floor is close as can be and spends so much time together. The sun is pretty much always shining. It is absolutely wonderful.

Compared to the world I was living in before, this is like a vacation. The farthest I ever have to go is a maybe ten minute walk, if that. I finally get to worry about me, and focus on my homework and my well being and not worry about if shes ok, or her mess. I have time to spare, to work hard on my homework, to workout, and even to relax. There is no frost on my windshield in the morning, no worry about if I have enough gas, my skin isn't always dry, I'm usually too hot if I wear a hoodie and jeans, not layering up to stay warm, and dresses a very acceptable, simple, and fun option. It's so different, so wonderful, so everything I've ever wanted.

I'm joining swim club with my wonderful neighbor Lauren, getting into Community Service programs helping kids and bringing food to San Francisco. I'm looking into immersion trips for the winter, looking for jobs, learning, and soaking up all the beauty of this place. I can not say this enough, it is EVERYTHING i have ever wanted. I love it here, so much, and know that only more good is to come.

I keep thinking, if everything in my life lead me here, it was all worth it, and even more...it was perfect, if this is what I get in return for all the challenges, hard work, sunshiney moments, for everything. I get to be in a new world, filled with beautiful new things, people, experiences and a new life. I am so lucky, so blessed, so fortunate to be here. My support group is amazing, everyone who's gotten me here...Jesse, my mom, my dad, Ese, Chels, Zachy, Dave, Tiff, Mindy, Liv, the whole world of people who were there for me and a part of my world in all the years that lead to this, thanks, for getting me here. Dont get me wrong I miss those guys, soon enough I'll miss the mountains, my bed, my mom being nearby and home, but this place is too amazing to not grab onto with everything I have. I'm here, and this is exactly where I want and need to be, so while I cherish those relationships, and skype with them and call them and share my journey with them, Im gonna live in the now, here at Santa Clara University, where I dreamt of since I visited in Febuary of Junior year. I love, its perfect, the end.
