Gone To Texas

I've been in Austin for about 5 days, now. And MAN have I done a lot already. Concerts, and food, and adventures, and people, and walking, and bus rides, and music, and hookah bars, guys. ITS BEEN SO FUN. I'm in love with Austin, and now that I'm finally here, I can't say that I have any desire to leave... It's all been fun and games, and I look forward to what else might roll my  way while I'm here. But I wasn't really excited about the school part of college life starting up on Wednesday, until tonight.

Tonight the university had it's "Gone to Texas" rally for the incoming class of 2016. I'm not sure if it was the energy exploding from all directions, or the endless rivers of brand new longhorns gathered around the orange-lit tower, or maybe the spunk in the crowd while singing "The Eyes of Texas", or the way each speaker had their own message for us freshman to take into account, but I'm so ready now. After a long, lazy, partying summer, I was reminded what I want; I remember why I'm here and my aspirations to truly change the world. And I know that I'm in the right place in my life; right here, right now.

I'm psyched to wake up and go to my first classes tomorrow. I want to be the best freaking student I can. I'm ready to learn like I've never done before and just absorb all of this amazingness surrounding me. I'm glad I went tonight and got the boost of energy I needed to be the longhorn that I have ALWAYS looked forward of being. I am honestly at the best school in the world, and feel confident that I am going to love every second of my time here. Yes, even the inevitable stress and  exhaustion will be worth it in the end. 

I'm a person who gets super excited and feels like they can do absolutely anything after a good pep talk, so I'm just so stoked right now.  And my super nerd has revealed herself once more as I am now very excited my education at UT and starting my own adventure to change the world.

On a side note I played Just Dance on the Wii in front of all  of my fellow Communication students... no regrets... 

HOOK 'EM!! \m/
