My first two weeks here have brought on many new experiences and new friends. These both have pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way by making me more open to being myself and taking risks. I have been able to live a real life rather than stay in my room all the time and only focus on studying. I did a lot of that in high school and want to change how I spend my free time. There is still plenty for me to learn about myself and there is always more room for me to grow and change, but being here has allowed me to start doing that.
