In the four years I've been in college, I've noticed how much I've grown. It's not a drastic change like most people have gone through, I'm sure but they're changes anyway. I realized how I've learned to speak up in class rather than be cooped up in my chair thinking about a hundred different things at one time and not caring to raise my hand to ask a single question. I've learned to be more interactive with my classmates - regardless whether I'm older, or not. I've learned that I don't know everything and it doesn't hurt to say so.

Although there are still things that remain the same about me. I still get self-conscious walking around school alone. I have this fear of slipping down the stairs - what my friends and I like to call "instant popularity". I have fallen down the stairs once or twice, but never with too much people around. So. I still don't know what to say when one of the frat members come up to you and ask for your name (it's a tradition, they say) and I end up furrowing my eyebrows and clutching my things really tight. I still don't understand why the Oblation Run is such a hit (I've never seen it).

Have I really grown up? Or even just.. grown? I hope so. I always say UP's toughened me up a bit. But have I really?
