Life Update

Wow! Boy has it been a minute since I have updated my blog. I promise to be more consistent. I figured as my life is falling apart I need one thing that will keep me in tact! So I promise I am back for good.

Last semester was a blast. As some of you may know I am currently a freshman at BYU(Brigham Young University). I am in my second semester. First semester was very good if I should say. I made friends, found a community and

a sense of belonging. I ended the year with amazing grades and I was even sad to go home for break. I realized I did not miss school, but rather the people I was around. I missed my friends, the ability to have freedom and also independence.

Not going to lie adjusting to the Utah life was rougher than I expected. The weather here sucks! The elevation makes it so hard to breathe and along with that it is nothing compared to Jersey. The lack of diversity here makes it difficult and people are not used to seeing black people either. Right? you might think we are still in the 80's the way people stare at you when you walk to class. At first I thought I would feel like Beyonce as I paraded classes with all eyes on me. That feeling quickly faded away and I got annoyed! I don't see myself as intimidating or scary so I never understand why people find it difficult to just talk to me instead of staring.

So much has happened in my life and I can't wait to share with you all! stay tuned
