Last post for U101.

So, today is my last official post for U101. Sad.

But not really, because this means two things: 1. I've survived the first semester of my freshman year of college, and 2. There will now only be fun stuff, like music, fashion, etc. So yay!

I've really enjoyed U101 overall, especially the class discussions. The only thing I didn't like was reading The World is Flat. I didn't find it very interesting, and I didn't find it very easy to relate to my life. I wish we had done more fun stuff, like climbing the rock wall at Strom or going to the beanbag room. However, I do like that because we spent so much time discussing things in class, I really got to know all of my classmates and understand all of the different views we have.

This blog has been really good for me in terms of integrating what we've talked about in class, but not so helpful in terms of reflecting on my first-year experience. Because that's the thing--being in college is an EXPERIENCE. I don't like talking about things that are going on in my life so much as I like living my life. It's just like my friend Ben always says, "Don't talk about it, be about it." I'd rather be about it than reflect on it.

The best part of this blog has been actually posting about things that I really believe in--vegetarianism, gay rights, music, fashion, and art. I feel like those things--the links I post, etc.--say more about me than just talking about what I think about my first-year experience. But now that I've done the work, I can let the fun begin!

Keep it classy and fabulous!
