The past semester at Vanderbilt has been life-changing in more ways than one. I have so much to be grateful for, and I truly don’t know if I will ever be able to repay the love, kindness, and acceptance I have been shown from the moment I stepped back on campus just a few months ago.
Still, despite there being so many unexpected and unplanned gifts in my first semester back at Vanderbilt, that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been challenges I’ve had to face. I have gained so much clarity not just on my future plans in my life and in my career path, but on the way I want to portray myself to the world and the mark I hope to leave on this campus not just by the time I graduate, but ideally, every day I am here.
I never imagined I could experience so much growth as an individual in such a short amount of time, but that is also a testament to all of the incredible people here that love, support, and challenge me on a daily basis.
So, I hope whoever comes across my blog for whatever reason is at least mildly entertained by my musings, because I know I am. I really have no idea what the rest of my time spent at Vanderbilt will hold, but I’m looking forward to it.
There’s nothing wrong with a little suspense.
much love, carlee
