I tried finding my classes on campus and it was a FAIL. Well not an absolute fail. I did not find any of my classes but I did find the student union which is good because that is where everyone seems to meet up. I also somewhat found where the rec is, which is also good because that is where all of my free pilates, barre, and cycle classes are at. I even found this acai bowl place and it is SOO GOOD.
There are so many nice cars here, which I hate since I don't have one lol. I won't get one until next year so I am stuck taking the bus. At least the buses here are free and when you have no where to go, it is nice to just sit back and ride.
I also felt a little overdressed walking around campus even though all I had on was jeans and a white shirt. Everyone here wears athleisure clothes. Like they just got done with a workout but didn't sweat at all. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. I think I was the only person who was wearing jeans. This doesn't mean that I am going to stop wearing jeans, because I am a jeans girl but I was just a little shock. I guess because where I am from MOST people wore jeans and now here it's just like...... I still like their style though. It is cute and preppy but obviously more laid back.
I love when Black women don't let fear stop them from traveling.
there’s no rule as to how big or how small you’re allowed to dream. if you just want a small home and an orange kitchen and four cats that’s just as reasonable of a goal to work for as a big new york penthouse. and if all you really want is a simplistic career that isn’t the center of your life then that’s just as valid as dreaming of becoming a famous fashion designer or ceo. i know everyone keeps urging you to dream big, but dreams can be as simple and small as you want. they’ll always be valid. you decide how you want to live and what kind of life you want, no one else.
