...A whole new chapter in my life. I'm moving into college!! :D
I'm attending Delaware Valley College, which is an agricultural school in Doylestown, PA. I am SUPER excited. I'm like bouncing off the walls, hehe. :p I have such mixed feelings about this. As I said, I am looking forward to it. Everyone says it's such a different world and I'm very grateful that I get to experience that. BUT I'm going to miss all my family and friends back home. I live in Philadelphia so Doylestown isn't too far; maybe about an hour drive. I feel like I'm moving halfway across the country and I won't be able to see them again. Typical me, always overreacting. ;)
I'm majoring in equine science and management since my goal is to become a vet. I start classes on Monday, which I'm excited/nervous about! I have to take six classes overall this semester: english, college algebra, biology, chemistry, and stable management. I'm worried mostly about biology and chemistry. I'm good at science and I passed both of those classes in high school with high 90s, but I've heard college science classes are on such a different level than they were in high school. Yikes. :eek: But I am going to keep a positive mindset! There's always tutoring available, and lots and lots and lots of hours in the day to study. :p I just finished packing and I already loaded up the car so I'm all ready to go tomorrow morning at 7 AM! I also get to meet my roommate tomorrow as well, finally! I don't know that much about her, as we just got matched up as roommates last week (there were problems with my friend who I was going to room with.) We've texted a couple times. She seems really nice! I found out she is from Ohio, which is pretty neat, and she is majoring in large animal science.
I'm going to have to show you guys some pictures of DelVal when I move in. The campus is absolutely gorgeous! It's very small, I think there's only 2,000 undergrad students. It's very country-like as well. I remember the speech the president of the college gave at the open house, he said "This college is very special. You get the best of both worlds: on one side of campus it looks like a normal college, but then the other side looks like 500 acres of farmland in Kansas." They have horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, etc. It's just amazing.
I'll be sure to keep you updated on my move in and take pictures. :) Also, any advice for college would be greatly appreciated! :D
