It's crazy to think that months ago I was writing about my first week of college, and now I'm approaching my last week of college. Today, though, marks my last day of classes of my freshman year. I can't believe how fast time has gone, and it's almost summer! (even though it snowed in my hometown today....what!?) Looking back, there is nothing that I would change about this year. I have made new friends, experienced new things, and formed new memories that I'll ever forget. These next couple days are going to be crazy for me with finals starting on Saturday. A week from today, though, and I'll be moved out of the freshman dorm. All of my stuff will be back at home, and I'll begin my summer working again at Fareway and as a lifeguard preparing myself for the beginning of my Sophomore year.
I can not say more how blessed I am to have gone to a school like Coe College. Just in my freshman year I have grown, learned, and had several opportunities lay at my feet right in reach. I recently gained a position as a College Adjustment Peer (CAP) next fall, a CVD Assistant, and received an office position in Delta! Being a CAP leader I will have the opportunity to help the incoming freshman with the transition from high school to college, help them adjust and settle into to college life, and ultimately be a mentor for a group of about 15 students. I can not wait to take on this leadership role and hopefully help them learn what being a Kohawk is all about. As an CVD Assistant I specifically got placed in a position where I work to plan Campus Visit Days. I can not wait to start this job, as I have already been involved with helping admissions by being a tour escort, tour guide, building host, and even blogging with them! I'm excited to form new relationships with the staff and students. I also received an office position with Delta- Continuing Education. I am excited to go through officer's training and see what this leadership role is all about.
At the beginning of my freshman year I would have never of guessed I would be as involved as I am. Yet, this is why my Freshman year has been so amazing. I wouldn't trade this year for the world, and I can't wait to start my sophomore year. I am going to miss everything about Coe this summer- friends, professors, staff. Yet, the summer will give me time to prepare myself for my sophomore year and I can't wait to see what that will bring.
Kohawk Love,
Alexis
