So… I guess I wasn’t really moved by the text because I really don’t feel like writing about it to tell you the truth. (Sorry!) I’ll write what’s on my mind: this whole transfer to a new school thing. For one, I can believe it’s been one year since I last went to school. Seems like it really wasn’t that long ago. I remember when I first attended Michigan State in the fall of 2004, and thinking I was going to be done in 4 years, three if I was lucky. Wrong. I’m on the 5 year plan now, which really isn’t bad at all. Overall, this transfer hasn’t been so bad. The thing I miss the most is my friends. It’s like starting college all over again. Not knowing anyone. Only, to solve this problem at MSU, I joined a sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi. I would really like to belong to a sorority again because it helped me form connections with so many people, but, unfortunately, there is no AOII chapter at Wayne State that I could join. Plus, once you’re initiated a sorority that’s part of the National Panhellenic Council, they do not allow you to join another Panhel organization. So, I guess I’m going to try to find some other type of group I can belong to here. I guess in a way, not belonging to a sorority can help my GPA out as well. Don’t get me wrong, the sorority did enforce mandatory study hours and other ways to watch out for us academically, but with so many of us living in the same house, there was always someone to convince you to go to a party when you really should be studying.
I think the one thing that stands out about Wayne State to me is the fact that I can get from one side of campus to the other in about 15 or so minutes by foot. At Michigan State, this walk would’ve taken about 45 minutes. This is really convenient in scheduling because you don’t have to take traveling between classes into as much consideration.
I think I’m going to go to bed now. Sorry if this was boring!
