My first few weeks in Carolina

Up to the last week in April, I still had no idea where I was going to attend this fall. I had narrowed it down to USC or UK. One was eight hours away, the other only an hour. I would know no one at one school, and everyone at the other. I would be assigned a random roommate that could go terribly wrong or room with my best friend. Almost everyone was shocked when I chose South Carolina, myself included. Coming to South Carolina has been a huge change for me. I came from an all girls catholic school of 1,000 kids to a public university where I get weird stares when using the phrase "you guys" instead of "y'all" and when I ask "What are Rainbows? The thing in the sky?" I am so glad I took a chance and decided to leave my comfort zone . I have loved my experiences here thus far and all the new people I have come across. The classes are a lot different than what I'm used to but I have been able to keep up with them so far and actually find them more interesting than my classes in high school. There are so many more activities I can't wait to participate in at South Carolina and I am looking forward to the rest of my freshman year here.
