I've tried blogging before, but as I'm more dedicated to writing here more often, I'm hoping that I will be able to keep up with this.
My first fall semester at BYU-I is finished, and I'm off for two weeks for Christmas and New Years. This past semester was a mix of good and bad emotions. I met so many people that I am really quite attached to and who will be close friends forever, and I also met many people that I didn't get along with. It took a while to get it, but that's just part of life. There's always going to be people that don't like me, and people that I don't like. The hardest part of college was realizing who were my true friends and who weren't. And a close second behind that, having to say good bye to the true friends.
Sometimes you can't know for sure who would really do anything for you, or as I like to put it, jump off a bridge with you. This semester was an eye opener. I learned a lot about some of my friends that proved to me that they weren't who I thought they were. I never realized how lucky I was to have such a close group of friends in highschool. I never had to worry about catty comments from the girls or gossip or even backstabbing. Once well into the semester, I realized how much it can actually hurt to have someone talk about you, and how much it completely changes your perspective on someone once you know what they've been saying about you. It's hard to look at them the same. I wish I hadn't known, in a way. It would've made things much simpler. But then, would I have looked naive?
I'm hoping that I'll be able to continue to grow as a person and find myself as I go through this next semester. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about it - I think it'll be one of the best experiences yet.
