Firsts....lots and lots of them

I had a pretty eventful first year of college I would say, and I leanred so so much!

I had my first:
B
parking ticket
fender bender
wreck---with a lady with no insurance
encounter with the law (we won't mention this one)
experience of whataburger at 3 AM...only to have it again at 7AM
feeling of being homesick
all-nighter (only to fail the test)
feeling of being broke as a joke


BUT I also had MANY wonderful firsts:
I had my first experience of working hard for something and not getting what I wanted, which taught me that sometimes life doesn't go the way you want it to, but it still keeps going.

I had my first night out dancing with the girls I love until 2 AM

My first time to get out and meet new people (outside of the Panhandle)

My first chance to get involved with Texas A&M

My first Big Event experience

My first time to go barhopping

My first black friend (yes I know, pathetic....but true)

My first time to get to go home for Christmas and be so enthralled to just simply sit at home

and most importantly...my first chance to really figure out who I WAS as a person and who I WANT to be.
