The time has come, once again.
All of my boxes are backed to the rim; bulging at the top so they can't be stacked. I tried being organized by putting my shirts with shirts, pants with pants, desk stuff with desk stuff, but some boxes ended up being labeled "...misc." Packing this year was a lot easier than last- I left a lot of things the same way I packed them up when I came back for the summer. I didn't have to buy anything new for my dorm (perks of being a sophomore and having an awesome roommate) and I ended up dropping off a few things at Darren's (SUPER NICE AND AWESOME AND PERFECT) apartment which is just a few minutes from campus to save up some space in the car. With all of this packing nonsense said, I am going back to JMU TOMORROW!! Tomorrow is the beginning of FrOG training: two to three days of nonstop activities, info sessions, icebreakers, etc to help us aid the first years that'll be coming that Tuesday and Wednesday. I am SO pumped for 1787 August Orientation because when I experienced it a year ago, it was by far one of the best parts about my freshman year. To be an Orientation Guide to 15-25 people and impact them is definitely a privilege that I am so thankful JMU has given me! Leaving home is a lot easier than it was last year. For starters, I knew hardly anything about how JMU worked, so leaving for college was very frightening. Another huge impact on my easy transition is that my lovely boyfriend will be attending college with me now! To have him there with me supporting me as we do this college-thing together will make my life so much better. Not only will he be there, but my best friend since middle school, Issi, will be coming in as a first year! After knowing her for 7-8 years, we finally get to attend school together; which will be really new and REALLY awesome. On top of all of that, last year I was able to see my wonderful family a lot (perks of living 40 minutes away). Going into it, I know if I ever get home sick, want to see my pup Delta, or just want a good ol' home-cooked meal, my mother is more than willing to come up and get me, just like last year. Lastly, I get to be reunited with some of the best friends on this earth. Going a whole summer without seeing them has made this moment worth it! So many reassuring factors are making my return to JMU a piece of cake. I am eager to see what God has in store for me this year! This summer has been consumed by working, which in the long run was exactly what it needed to be (thanks college tuition..) but I haven't been able to spend time with God the way I have wanted. I am ready to go back and be surrounded by my Jesus-loving friends and an inspiring and welcoming club we all call InterVarsity to rekindle to flame I have with Jesus that has sadly dimmed over the summer. Overall, this summer has been a rewarding one. It's been filled with hard-work, DIY, endless trips to goodwill and tjmaxx with Darren, and HGTV marathons on the couch. Realizing it's coming to an end is bitter-sweet, but knowing that I am going back to THE university of Virginia for my second year makes all the difference.
