Thoughts on My New Life!

I made it!  I'm finally in Sioux City.  I moved in yesterday afternoon, and I'm still not sure how all my stuff (never mind the stuff my roommate is bringing) is going to fit in my room.  It's going to be a challenge, but I'm up for the adventure!
On that note, I'd like to make a quick list (because lists are so much easier to write than paragraphs) of my thoughts about college, Sioux City and my new life in general. 

What I've Learned in the Past Two Days 

• Despite your father's previous assurance otherwise, your room is tiny.  Sadly, you will not fit your big pink fuzzy chair in there.
• Some college students never feel the need to sleep.  You may want to turn on your fan or some other sort of noise maker to block out the loud voices of your lovely neighbors.
• The top bunk is a great adventure, especially when there's no guard rail or ladder.  
• Freshman 15?  Not for this chica!  You'll burn off more than enough calories walking to just about any building on campus because your dorm is on the edge of nowhere.
• If your new Iowan friends make fun of you for your crazy Minnesoooootan accent, just remind yourself that they're children of the corn. 

And most importantly...

• There's no possible way to forget your old friends back home.  Even though you've been busy for the past 14 hours, they've texted, called, Skyped and Facebooked you to remind you that they still exist.  Man, aren't you lucky you have such awesome friends? :)

And on that note, I have some people to call.  Stay tuned!  I have no idea what's in store for me, but I'll be sure to give you a taste. ;)
