My room!
My place of residence.
We as human beings change daily, in mindsets, in development — in so many aspects. Therefore, I have no doubt I underwent a dynamic change from my first year at Holy Cross to my final year. This change is evident in the decoration of my room.
Here’s what it looked like then:
Classic college clutter. No inspiration or theme. No matter what college you go to, whether it’s Holy Cross or another, you won’t fully know yourself when you first arrive. Like first/second year me, that might reflect in your words, your actions, and even in your room decor.
Here’s what my room looks like now (feel free to click on the images to make them larger):
I share all this just to say that you don’t have to have it all figured out as soon as you get to college. In fact, you probably still won’t have it figured out when you leave college. There’s no shame nor harm in that. Life is a learning process and you’re forever developing. My years at Holy Cross have taught me that no matter how winding or windy the roads, eventually you’ll make it to your destination. My destination at school at the end of the night is always my room and it is now my favorite place to be.
