2 more months to go
Unpopular opinion but I missed this. I missed doing work, going to class, seeing my new friends, I missed my college routine. Spring break is over, which means 2 more months to go! I’m so excited to continue this new journey and I think I’m finally adapting to the new student life in such a big university like Penn State. However, 3 months (summer) is a long time, I miss my family and friends from Ecuador but I feel like I’m going to miss Penn State more when I’m there, life here is so much more fun.
My best friend Paige is visiting me over the summer in Ecuador and I couldn’t be more excited, we are going to go to the beach, and possibly visit the Galapagos Islands. I’ve been there a couple of times and it’s amazing, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone. There are so many exotic animals and plants, delicious food, and nice people. I hope she has a great time in my country, and I can’t wait to show her my hometown, I think she’s gonna be somewhat scared of the food because it is certainly different than American food, but it is still GOOD.
Anyways, I can’t believe I’m finishing my freshman year, I think that’s so crazy, it feels like it was yesterday that my parents came to drop me off at Penn State. Now I will be a sophomore but I try not to think about it because I start having existential crises because I’m still not sure about what I’m going to do after I graduate, I know I still have time but I feel like time is not even real now, everything is going by so fast and I’m scared to not figure it out soon enough. I’m still on board with my major so I guess that’s progress, I enjoy doing econ although I do think it’s so hard, the math in it confuses me so much sometimes and I start second-guessing myself ion whether this is what I want to do or should do, however, I enjoy the social science, I enjoy the theories and applications of it, which in my opinion is what matters the most, how to apply something in real life, eventually this is what is going to make the degree count at jobs.
In conclusion, these next months are going to be FUN, STRESSFUL, and most importantly INTENSE. But I’m still excited for what is coming, life will keep getting interesting as time passes by so I’m up for every challenge the universe wants to throw at me.

Hi Hannah! First off, I love the theme of your blog. I really like hearing what other people are doing and different things that they are doing in their lives. I was also excited to get back to work here and get back into the routine that I have created here at school and everything that I enjoy up here at PSU. I am really glad to her that you are having a good time at school and that you are excited about your life up here! I think that going to college, especially far away is a hard adjustment, but it is cool to see it working out for everyone. I can definitely related to feeling like where is the time going and how fast everything seems to be going. I really am also excited for summer, as I am also doing a lot of fun things. But I also know that I am going to miss my little life here too. I think that everything always works out and you will find something that you are good at and enjoy, and you still have lots of time to figure out what you wanna do! I really like your positive outlook and I am excited to hear what else you do!

Hi Hana, I definitely agree with you and see where you’re coming from. I loved going home for spring break because I missed my family, friends, and boyfriend. Once I was home, I definitely got a little bored since I had so much free time and didn’t know what to do with it. I also missed my friends at Penn State and Penn State as a whole. I am excited for the summer as well, but will definitely miss my schedule that I have adapted to at college. I am going to go on vacation and spend time with my family and friends, but I know I will definitely miss Penn State and everything it has to offer. It will be nice since we can finally relax after 2 semesters, and not have to stress about doing assignments. I also love how your friend is going to come and visit you. It is obviously very different in Ecuador than it is in America, but you guys will have so much fun!
