This first semester of college has been an adventure. Between new friends and exciting class subjects, five months away at school seemed to go by in the blink of an eye.

Living away from home presented a whole new set of challenges, but I can safely say I have overcome the challenges of living away from home and can now make noodles with the best of them.

I have learned new things both inside and outside the classroom and can not wait to see what this next semester has in store. I exceeded my expectations, leaving home and maintaining good grades, I look forward to the upcoming years to see what they bring.
