That's A First!

I am discovering that college is full of new things. Firsts. I am currently enrolled in my first semester of my first year! This is my first time (that I actually remember) living outside of Utah. It is my first time living away from my parents, the first time I have my own mailing address. Today I had my first college exam! I of course procrastinated (not a first for me..) and so ended up spending the entire weekend having a cram session and hoping that the information would stick in my brain. I was stressing out so much that many people who I talked to had one thing to say to me: don't stress. Easy for them to say! But then I realized, it's true. My coach gave us this piece of advice: there are two types of problems- those you can do something about, and those you have no control over. You shouldn't be spending your time worrying about the first, but getting to work. As for the second? There is no point in wasting time worrying, things will happen how they happen. With that advice in mind, I took on my first college exam and I think I did a fairly decent job!

The exam was definitely not my favorite first.


My first week here was my first time ever going to the Minnesota State Fair. And oh man, it was HUGE! I am used to little Box Elder County Fair, and it doesn't even compare. While at the fair..I ate a deep-fried Milky Way. (Now THAT's a first!) And yes, it was delicious!:) Normally, I don't even eat sugar, but in this case, I made an exception and oh.. it was SO worth it.




Speaking of new foods.. This week at lunch I tried my first veggie burger.

As I put tomatoes and lettuce on it, I wondered to myself- Do you put veggies on a veggie burger? Ah, the mysteries of life. It was actually really tasty!

First package from home:)

Along with my first year of college came my first real job. And with that job? My first paycheck! Yep, I must admit I am very much enjoying all these new and exciting things that I get to experience! And I still have so much time left at Mac!
