UW-Milwaukee Update
Well its final, i finished my first semester at uwm. Lets summarize shall we. lets start in august! Move-in Day!! So excited! That day I met my not only my suite-mate but my dear friend Ceilidh! Little did we know we parked right next to each other in the parking garage. Once we finally met, I knew we'd hit off! From tapping the shit out of the dry erase board on our bathroom door to meeting all the crazy people on our floor togehter. Later that day the whole floor introduced each other and we all went adventuring around campus! What a cookie group of people! It was great! Oh boy, welcome week! Soccer games, boat tours, going to the beach, and best of all Pantherfest! Matt and Kim/ Mac Miller! Matt and Kim Crushed it! definitely a day i will NEVER forget! Now onto september, classes started! I was scared shitless! I was so scared I'd get lost, but I made my way. I had four classes 3d concepts, drawing 102, english 102, and art survey! At this time I'd thought drawing would be my favorite class, since I was a painting and drawing major. Classes went on and as well did my social life, the giant group we once started out with dwindled and everyone became comfortable with certain people. I love pretty much everyone on my floor but at the time I was most comfortable with ceilidh, robert, nate (mr. brightside), jonathan, audrey, and gina. I had growing friendships with each one, and even liked someone more than friends. then october came along and a new TLLC member joined our floor her name was Hanna! At first I was skeptical of her but she is one of the sweetest girls on our floor! As time moved through october, we went to the dells for Audrey's birthday! It was so much fun, and, "That shrimp tho." however after the dells I seemed to had a rough time with one of my friends and pulled myself away, I tried so hard to help them, but my own mental health was at stake. However during this time I gained a new friend named Madison! Seriously and I'm glad I did! We are practically inseparable! As time moved on it was halloween and something occurred that made me a little bitter, I spent a lot more time in my room/ suite, as well as with robert or madison, however I pulled through and things are getting a lot better! Then november rolls around and things are buckling down, and stress was building! i started to hate my drawing class and started loving 3D. I then decided to change my major to Art Educaction, with a minor in painting! Then thanksgiving break came around. And I knew there was something up with my best friend Nikki from home. She is very upset with me and hasnt talked to me since. It sucks. It hurts. I'm sad. However I admitted I did wrong and apologized for my mistakes but however I am still paying for it, now its december. Whew, things couldn't be more stressful, final papers, projects, and exams! I worked my ass off this semester to do well and thats exactly what I did! Today I finally got my final grades and I passed ALL of my classes! I couldn't be more proud of my success! A little birdie once told me I would never make it at uwm if I dont work hard, so I did! However, after finals I had to say goodbye to all my new friends for break and say goodbye to my suite-mate who transferred! It was one of the hardest things I had to do but I know we will stay friends for a very long time! However all in all, Even tho this semester had hardships I wouldn't change it for anything! And hope for a great spring semester with new adventures! Wish me luck! but first lets enjoy break while it lasts!
