Some Last Thoughts

Next weeks marks finals week, and the last week of my freshmen year of college. The days keep going by faster and as much as I am excited for what next year and my entire future will look like, I find myself wishing time would somehow go by slower.

So here marks my freshmen year in a nutshell:

So excited to be moving into my new home!

Move-In day almost felt like it was straight out of a Hilary Duff movie (and I love Hilary Duff movies). Absolute madness, but one of the best days of my life. My stuff was moved in in no time and meeting my roommate was priceless.

Do you believe in magic?

Have you ever had one of those days when everything is beautiful? I think everyone longs for those moments in which the world, and all its possiblities, appears fresh and new. Although we are already well into first semester here at APU, for you freshmen, this is still just the beginning of your journey here, a journey that is sure to be full of new experiences and excitement. I remember first pulling into the APU parking lot on move-in day last year....

You can thank my fellow 3rd North sisters for the title of this blog. Can’t you tell we are freshman? We apparently haven’t learned the art of spelling. There are currently 5 of us watching Pride and Prejudice with girls popping in and talking. Actually, we are barely watching the movie and mostly talking. I love it.

Orientation was pretty crazy. It was a bit stressful, really interesting, but mostly overwhelming for me. Which isn’t true for everyone, some kids had no problem with it all. Overwhelming isn’t also a bad thing though, Orientation is guaranteed slight chaos anywhere you go I think. But this chaos was actually quite organized; APU has an impressive schedule that they stuck to. There was so much to do! There always was a friendly face to help us out though. The events were really cool including a football game!

Memories of Move In Day

Outside of some of the major holidays and birthdays I share with my family, move in day is one of my favorite days of the year. Temperatures in the 90s and a scarcity of parking spots that mark the day don’t detract from the excitement I feel each year.

I remember my move in day, September 1991. I remember driving past the green freeway sign signaling Azusa Pacific University exiting Citrus Ave. I remember getting out of the maroon Taurus station wagon with shaky hands, a little fear, a lot of butterflies. I remember the shirt I wore and faces of the orientation leaders that helped me unload said station wagon. What’s amazing to me, 18 years later, is how much I remember of my move in day.
