Well, I did it. I actually completed my first year of college. And good golly gosh, it wasn't easy. There were ups and downs, there were tears, there were lots of jokes and laughter, and there was some studying here and there. But despite the difficulties, I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world. It's been almost year since I started this blog and moved to Kirksville. I'm not sure if I feel like an entirely different person, but I do feel different after a year here. I moved away from home, I started college, I got my first job . . . little Ashlee is growing up, I guess.
The past year has been filled with some amazing experiences. I saw some awesome performances (InLike, Hana Pestle, Ludo, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Evanescence, and Sara Bareilles to name a few), I got to know some great people, I was part of the French play both semesters, I went to Florida and got very burned, and lots of other fun stuff. Granted, not everything was oodles of excitement. First semester scared the shit out of me, and if it weren't for two of the most amazing professors on the planet, Dr. Lobert and Dr. Burton, I might have dropped out. Second semester was a little easier, but it was still filled with its own challenges, like public speaking. Ew.
I don't know how to make this blog very sentimental. Maybe I'll just say thanks to the many people who have been a part of my life for the past year. Y'all rock.
