So I guess, like, I've seen, like I said, with College, it's interesting because you'll come home to your old friends and it's like, we're just talking about this with my friend Isabelle and we're like, it's just interesting to see how people grow in College because I feel like, personally it's like I've grown so much, especially just going to College, like a far away from home

That not that I don't think my GPA is important or I really want to be learning as much as possible, but my mindset kind of shifted from like, oh, I really need to get a top grade in this class to I really want to put a lot of effort and thought into my assignments and make sure that I'm learning it, because that's a lot more important in actually applying what you learn versus just absorbing the information for a short amount of time, acing a test and moving on
One thing that I really like seeing as an individual is seeing your friends grow in College. Like, my friend who's gone through so many heartbreaks, like, from freshman year to, like, junior year. Like, I've seen them grow in so many different ways. And I don't know, it's kind of like a proud, proud mom dad moment when you're like, oh, look at them grow

Obviously, if I was in trouble, my parents would help me, but it's kind of, like, up to me to problem solve and to figure my stuff out. So, yeah, it's kind of crazy. And I feel like I've changed a lot since I've gotten up here
It's okay if it doesn't, because I'm really proud of what I wrote, and I really stand by it. So I'm kind of like, okay, there's like, a ta grading this paper, and maybe they just don't see like, they just don't think it fit, like, the guidelines, or maybe they didn't see it as being as objectively good as I thought it was. I'll still be super proud of it
No. Yes. I just feel like there's just, like, so much truth to that because I've seen especially my friends who maybe didn't enjoy high school as much or just, like having just, like, weren't driving as much. Sorry, I'm walking my dog, and she's just, like, saying Hi to everyone. But I was like people who just like, maybe they just weren't driving as much in high school kind of, like, felt a little trapped
And then yeah, I just feel like there's just more time to spend with friends, and it's so nice to be able to see what kind of things I like creatively, like, what I might want to do for a career without a ton of pressure to always just, like, keeping grades up. Don't worry about as much. So, yeah, I really enjoyed that. I think that's a great aspect of College
