Hold Up, Go Back a Second?
So I'm ALREADY in my third week here at university and wow time has gone past me so quickly. I currently study a combined honours course of Music and Psychology at Canterbury Christ Church University in England.

5 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Stress About Choosing Your Major
1. Freshman year is mostly introduction and core classes. When I was a freshman I had to take all core and introduction classes. I was interested in science (more specifically premed) however I had to take classes like art history and writing for college. I was in no way ever going to be an art historian however I still sat through them because college says these core classes are required. I also took introduction to music which was interesting because the only instrument I’ve ever played was the recorder I was forced to play in third grade.

First Day of College at Pasadena City College
It's hard leaving the people you have known all of your life. The same people you have known since kindergarten. The friends you have made. The memories you had with them. Then, when you become a senior in high school, that's when you start to realize you will probably never see these people again. But it's okay. Because everyone needs to go to the next step in their life. If it's college, working full-time, taking a year off, or even doing nothing at all. This is where everyone grows to become who they will be in the future. And my future is attending Pasadena City College.
