Catching Up/Sophomore Year

Wow, I don’t want to make a habit of this, but it’s been almost 2 months since my last post. I won’t spend 5 minutes talking about how shocked I am and how much more often I’ll try to post, but I will say that I’m making a realistic goal of posting once a week. We’ll see how that goes though - not committing to anything.

Anyways, over the past 2 months, I finished up my summer and moved back to Northwestern for my sophomore year. Summer was relaxed and refreshing, but it’s really nice to get back into a routine at college. I’m living in the same dorm in a nice sized single, which I love. Since I am a self declared introvert, it’s nice to have this place to retreat to. That being said there’s plenty of room so any high school friends reading this, definitely come visit soon. Classes are all very interesting, taking my first poli-sci class, international law, which I’m almost  positive I’ll end up writing about in the near future. My econ class is somewhat math based, but it also applies to the real world, which makes it really nice. Arabic is picking up again and it’s not easy, but it’s doable and an incredible language. And my final class, early modern Indian history, is something I’ve been wanting to take for a long time. Growing up in America, I’ve never really known even close to what I should know about my heritage, and it’s so fascinating to finally gain some of that. That professor is great too - passion is so important in teaching.

So for this blog going forward, I’m probably just going to stick to the stream of conscious/random thoughts trend I’ve usually had with my topics, sorry if that’s incredibly frustrating for some. This is meant to be something that’s fun for me more than anything, so I really just want to write about what’s interesting and easy for me to talk about. But comments and feedback are always appreciated (unless you’re making fun of my typos - jerks).
