Where the Journey begins

All great journeys’ start somewhere. I have been dropped off on the roadside along Howard University with all costs paid. I look towards the horizon and my first week begins. The rush of scheduling, the room changes, the classes with professors you weren’t expecting all come with the excitement of the first week at Howard. Don’t get the wrong idea the experience is simply, priceless. Never have I ran across four buildings and talked to six people to get an override slip, but hey that’s what makes Howard a great place. We over complicate for the betterment, what did I get out of my override-slipathon? I was blessed with visiting a great portion of Howard campus which my schedule had not accommodated. Better yet what I learned was that each time we walk onto Howard (I live off campus so I walk onto Howard) we find new faces, bright smiles, and great personalities. It’s more of an amalgamation of perfection so seemingly intertwined around us that it makes me feel special that I have had the opportunity to be part of it. Coming to Howard I never knew what to expect. The college thought process for me was like, “um okay I want to go to medical school, Howard has a BS/MD program” and bam I was accepted. It happened so fast I liked it. It’s just that about Howard that makes me feel like I am about to go on a great thrill coaster, don’t get me wrong you still have that physics professor who goes the who class teaching about vectors and fails to define anything. But then again that’s why we have books and recitation right? Oh as the topic is on hand books are a great wall to lean against but to purchase them I had to stick with the internet. The books store although a great place to be, I find my money disappearing too fast. Buying books from other students and online bargain shopping; that has been my pinnacle moment of college so far, it’s definitely a great way to start college. Now all that’s left are those first assignments, the introductory grades that go in with your first tests, the looming thought of “oh god if I do bad on the easy ones what’s going to happen to me!” This blog I find more of pleasure, looking back at my week rather then something that adds to my work load. It’s more of a relaxer the time when you sit back and think about all the good things that have happened to you and smile and wish for those dark looming moments to never happen. But hey its college, anything can happen anytime, so let’s buckle up, smile and keep that light bulb on its time to make our future.
