My finals days of living on campus are coming to a close. This gives me mixed feelings because I have loved the convenience of living on campus and being on my own. I loved being about to get up early, eat breakfast, and roll back into bed before class. The ease of being about to go to practice that was two minutes away was awesome when I had a busy day and needed a power nap to get me through a 3 hour practice. Finding a job at the bookstore on campus was nice too; because I could just walk to work. At the same time, I’m ready to move out of college style living and have a little more space to live and enjoy myself. My roommate’s dad actually bought a house as an investment in the Delhi area and we’re going to be renting from him. So, yesterday was the closing so we all went to see the house. It was awesome, like a feeling of freedom to know that I’ll completely be living on my own. J (A little scary, right mom?) I will be living with my current roommate, another player on our team, and our other friend who plays softball. I think it will be a good mix of personalities living together, but at the same time not too much clashing of opinions. I do have to admit, I’m very excited to start decorating on my own because I’m obsessed with any home show on HGT, TLC, or oxygen. 

I would suggest to any incoming freshman to at least live on campus for one year while in college, to “gain the experience” as I’m sure any parent would preach, but seriously it gets you to meet people and find niches that you wouldn’t obtain from commuting. I lived her for two years, but just like in any other facet of life, I’m moving on to my next chapter.
