Helllloooo sunshine! |
I cannot believe I've lived in Missoula 100 days now! But at the same time, day 1 seems like such a long time ago. Lets see...what have I learned so far? 1. The bus system. So not having a car is ok when almost everything is walking distance...almost. 2. It doesn't matter how many people told me that the high school- college transition is hard as far as classes go that was just something i needed to learn myself. It's simply just different. 3. How the meal plan works. So every week you start with like $68 and if you don't use it by saturday you lose it and it goes to the football team. And the country store (only place to use food money for groceries...overpriced groceries) is only open through friday. 4. How to be a decent Jimmy Johns employee. 5. Being shy is easy, comfortable and pretty much just part of my personality. But it's not a lot of fun. 6. It seems to me that "home" has less to do with the actual place, and more to do with who you find there. 7. Missoula was an excellent choice for me. Balance is central to me and I've found it here :) 8. It's critical to eat a good dinner...especially on friday and saturday nights. 9. Good news: The freshman 15 is completely avoidable! 10. Soooo so so much more. More than anything though, I've learned that I still have so much to learn. 265 more days! |
