Revival

Hello!

I totally forgot I had this here but I figured I would revive it to document my journey throughout college back in the U.S.

I am currently studying for my midterms at my new school and wanted to reflect on how the past few weeks have been.

The past few weeks have been extremely difficult. Adjusting to my new life back in the U.S. has been extremely difficult. I didn't think it would be this painful but because I am in a new environment it is totally different than adjusting back to high school after my year in Spain.

A big factor in this has been feeling as if I have lost a bunch of freedom and opportunity to be an adult moving back here. I now live in a dorm where I have to share a room, follow new rules, and experience an entirely new set of people.

Coming in as a transfer second-year student feels like everyone already has their place and I'm just floating around trying to find somewhere to ground myself. It has been a wild few weeks and I'm not sure if I want to stay here and have looked at other options for myself while trying to keep an open mind about staying here as well. I'll see what happens in these next few months.

I hope I find some peace within these next few weeks or I'm going to explode.
