It is really so easy to forget what you have. Although I am only in my second semester here at FSU, I sometimes forget what a dream I am living. I can remember watching the Noles play when I was a freshman in high school, and even earlier than that. It seemed then like such a far-fetched dream to think that one day I could attend The Florida State University. But believe it or not, here I am, living in Tallahassee and attending FSU. Sometimes I find myself over-worked and exhausted and I grow jaded to how blessed I am. It's at those moments that I force myself to "snap out of it" and look around. Especially recently, with the beautiful change of season occurring around us, leaves changing colors, temperatures dropping, and Christmas nearing, I am reminded to not forget that "new" feeling that had me so excited and anxious at the same time six months ago.
I hope to never reach the point of taking this school and this opportunity for granted. I hope to still hold on to a bit of that spark of excitement and that surge of adrenaline even as a senior in a few years. I want to hold onto the impression that was set upon me by these buildings my first day of class freshman year, all the way until the end. In advance, thank you FSU!
