Since I'm a country bumpkin and all now, listening to country music more than anything, My resident asked me "What country song defines you?". I had no idea what to say, all of the songs I listened to I loved but nothing really clicked, until one day on Pandora, Thats Something to be Proud of came on. As cliche as that sounds, this song really made me smile. But why??
For every hard test I take here at Clarkson or a million homework assignments I have to hand in, I am proud of myself for majoring in engineering. I am proud of being one of the 10 charter sisters to start a sorority on Clarkson's campus. I am proud of my floor, Brooks 3, a bunch of winners =) . I am proud of all I manage, between working on campus, RA-ing, Kappa Detla Chi, and SWE tutoring. But with pride comes more goals and more things to accomplish.
I'm on spring break now realizing, once its over I have the hardest month left in the semester. One of the weeks entail finals..ughh. But not only are the tests something I'm not looking forward too, I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to my residents. I know I will see them next year but they won't be my residents and we won't get to share the crazy stories and events we shared this year. Hell, our floor could be a TV show on MTV or VH1, people would love to see a day in the life of a Brooks 3 resident or the crap I have to face as their RA lol. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to handle the job, and at times they give me a run for my money, but they all make me laugh soo much.
Every year as an engineering major, is supposed to get harder, the classes get harder, the test even harder. But I can honestly say that this year has been 100% better than last. I have met so many new people that have had such an impact on my life. Between my sorority sisters and my residents, and meeting Karen Dawson (my gym partner #partnerincrime) life is good.
Yeah, there are always things to improve on but there are also so many things to be proud of.
Keep Calm and Put a Smile On,
Anybody with Me?
