Tyler WilliamsPublished 6 years ago in EducationAdjusting to My First Year of College
The wait felt like forever...I was going on my last year of high school and I just couldn't wait to get out. It felt like the longest four years of my life and I was ready for a new start with friends and an introduction to what was going to be my future career. Once summer hit the time flew by, and before I knew it I was moving into my first home away from my family. Little side note, I am super close with my family so this transition was HARD.
