Here goes:
1. New school supplies! This might make me dorky or something, but I love new pens, binders, and notebooks. Too bad you usually have to use them for homework (eww).
2. New friends--you know, your fellow classmates, who have to endure the same torture that you do, so you band together as a result.
3. First day of college usually means new furniture (this year anyway...), which I love with every fiber of my being.
4. Learning things! I know this sounds totally lame, but learning is pretty cool when you think about it. Especially since I'm privileged enough to be able to go to college, as many people don't get that opportunity.
5. Fun college-campus activies: sporting events, campus-wide block parties, the list goes on and on. It's never boring!
Other than that, the first week is going well. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I signed up for the 7:40 am class on Tues/Thurs, but I get the feeling I'm going to need a stronger alarm. Otherwise, all is well thus far! Enjoy your week :)
