Last fall I was on the hunt for a college. I wasn’t worried because I knew I’d get accepted. I had my ACT scores in check, my TAKS scores in check, and my grades in check. Not to mention I had already conquered twenty something college credit hours (thirty-five now). I was on the hunt for something new and different, thus Texas A&M Corpus Christi became the perfect option for me. I’ve always wanted to live next to the beach. 

So, I applied and within weeks (about November) I got my acceptance letter! I was so happy, but at the same time I was a little scared. Okay, actually ALOT scared. Six hours away from home and all alone for the first time in my life. Eek! Then, I began considering SFA because that’s closer to home and it’s where I feel safe. Then I talked to one of my best friends, Kimberly Bernal, who was also considering TAMUCC! Turns out, she really wanted to go there too. She’s also been accepted. Going to my dream college started to seem more like reality because I then wouldn’t be alone anymore.

Kimberly and I talked about our options and we decided that we wanted to live on campus, so we applied to be roommates.  We were only expecting dorms, but when we got our housing acceptance form, we got a two bedroom apartment together. Complete with kitchen, private bathroom, and private balcony. Camden Miramar housing is beautiful.

More than a month ago I went to my orientation and registered for classes. I also found out that I was going to take out a loan which was a bummer. Oh well.

My classes were:

Math 1442 (statistics)
Political science 2306 (government II)
Communcation 1315 (speech)
Spanish 1315 (beginners Spanish)

It’s only 14 hours, but I don’t want to be overwhelmed first semester!

Anyways, as far as I know everything is good to go! I’ll be moving into my apartment on August 21st. Then classes start August 25th. Wish me luck!

GO ISLANDERS!
