First day.

First day today.

It felt so good being back, honestly. School is where I belong. I think I'm going to just be a professional student as long as I can. I love everything about where I am right now in life. Getting into the Social Work program worried me, but now that I'm in it I couldn't be happier. Since the program is hard to get into, I know the people in it now are people on the same page as me. People who want to strive hard and get good marks and help others and feed off each others thoughts. I'm sick of classmates who think F's are cool and skipping is ideal.

I finally feel like I'm surrounded by classmates I can rely on, and learn from...not to mention my program of 40 people (that's right, 20 people per class) forces us all to work closely with each other and form close friendships. I like that my program is so tight-knit and collaborative. I love that my profs would prefer discussions and real-life stories and experiences instead of facts, theories and dates.

I made the right choice. And I couldn't be happier.
