HOOSIERS

This weekend i went a visited my sister at college. She's a freshman at Indiana University. I stayed with her in her dorm for four days. After living with her, I really got a feel for what her life was like. I also met her roommate who is from Minnesota. Kim was one person at home when she was living with the family, and I noticed she was a completely different person away at college. Going out and buying groceries for her and Sara, alotting time each day to study at the Union, doing her laundry, she was out on her own. The dorm was insanely messy, because neither of them had time to set aside to clean it. They stayed up all night, either going out with friends or studying for classes. The food in their room was minimal and incredibly healthy (both of them are health freaks and only eat weird organic stuff). I basically lived their lifestyle for the four days, which is incredibly exhausting. When i got home, I slept the entire day and feasted on normal food. I love being home and appreciated a mother to do laundry once in a while and cook dinner every night, however I LOVED having days and nights to do with what I please. College is the transition into adulthood and I was exited to experience that. It scared me because I realized I would have to be all on my own doing things for myself without anyone else pushing or helping me, but it was also exciting realizing there's life beyond high school.
