Sarah and the Adventure of Life

It's nearing the end of my fifth semester of college. I'm on the verge of advancing further in my program, taking a teaching certification exam, turning twenty-one, and looking at locations for a potential future job. It's strange to think about when I first started my adventure towards college, completely unaware of what I would find here. I've discovered many treasures, but I've also found many hard spots in my experiences. Being a young adult is nothing what I expected. At 16 years old, the idea of adulthood seems so tantalizing; it's so close and yet so far away. Visions of independence, freedom, and excitement surround the mind, tainting our view of life. " Just let me grow up already ," is a thought that occurs much too often...and yet, those couple of years that seemed so far, approach so fast. Before we know it, we're 18 years old, and on the way to graduation. We've either applied to college or university, joined the workfor...

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am so ready for Thanksgiving. :) As many of you know, the traditional American holiday is drawing near, meaning that college students get to have three whole days off of school (not including the weekend). While this may seem like a short break (compared to a week), it is much needed and appreciated! Many of us are at our wit's end and are just begging for the semester to be over. I'm even more anxious since I've signed up for all of my Spring 2017 classes; it's always exciting to start something new.

On November 5, we gracefully accepted the UT Longhorns into our stadium and had a nice, clean, respectful game....in some alternate universe. The rivalry between Tech and UT is definitely a big one, so the student section was rowdy ...

Happy Halloween! Happy All Saints Day! Happy All Souls Day! I hope the recent celebrations and holidays have been just the right amount of spooky and fun. If you can't tell from my blog writing, or consistent effort to get more followers on Twitter, you should know that I, Sarah, have an addiction to Social Media. Okay, I use the term addiction very lightly, considering I haven't died from taking breaks yet; however, I do enjoy the occasional Facebook video or relevant hashtag. I am Public Relations Manager for my teacher organization for a reason: I really love connecting with people on the World Wide Web. It's pretty incredible that my blog can be (and has been) viewed from far-away countries like Canada, or even Russia. The Internet truly has power to tear divides among people, but it also has an incredible opportunity to bring people together. While I'm sure a blog about my college experience isn't going to knit the world together in perfect harmony, I do bel...
