Decision Time
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day
-Billy Joel "Vienna"
Oh, my sweet readers. Where to begin? I've started this blog about 6 times (no joke...I checked on the website we use to create the blogs) and I am DETERMINED to finish this one.
You are probably wondering why this slacker can't seem to throw a few lines together to sum up the final happenings of my Freshman year. Well, to put it simply: I can't. I can't translate the feeling of walking down the Pedestrian Walkway, chatting with so many people who have become my family here at UT. I can't make you smell barbecue chicken day at Mabel's on the Ag. campus, and how fantastic it is to sit at a table right next to several of my favorite professors. I can't explain to you how utterly depressing it is to take apart my dorm room, pulling down posters and looking through old cards from family and friends when I first began in August. And finally, I just can't sit here and type out "why" it is you should come here. If there is one thing I've learned this year, it's that college is so much more than classes and learning/expanding your mind. It's about gaining experiences and learning from them as well. You will learn this at any university, but I chose the University of Tennessee, and I am so happy I did.
So, whether or not you have made your choice, remember that wherever you go, you can thrive. This decision is an important one, but it's an amazing right we have to choose where we want go to in order to continue our education.
I will follow this blog up with another when I'm not experiencing mass amounts of cramming for finals.
PS: Nate, you are a total overachiever and I love you. Even if you do make the rest of us look bad. ;)
