What fun times. I remember worrying a lot about this day. I had many fears about college. I would often wonder about how many close relationships I would make, and how on earth would I be able to make them. I felt very nervous about meeting the rest of the honors students, and worried about how I would measure up. Sometimes, I even wondered if being a member of the honors program would be too much on top of everything else. This event changed everything, as well as the following events (like the kickoff, so much fun!). But this event was the first. The first time I got to see my fellow honorable freshman, the people who I would be in Enduring Questions classes with the following semester. From this event I met people who were older, and who were not only surviving in college, but who were thriving. My favorite part looking back at these pictures is seeing how I had just met these people, but already we were having a blast! It is crazy to imagine how differently my first year of college would have went, had I not had familiar faces to look for in classes. And it extremely hard to know that we went from seeing each other at least two times a week, to not seeing them at all. I think of how EQ classes has changed my perspective on life, and hearing my classmates opinions has made me a better person. One of my favorite memories of the past year was going to see the Tempest in OKC with the Honors program. It was so much fun, and I felt so at ease with everyone. I cannot wait until we have these events again (hopefully this summer we will get too!). It is not only important to get to see people, but it's calming when you get to have a head start on making friends!! I love the East Central, and I love the Honor's program! I can't wait to see everyone again
