To be honest, I haven’t had the most stellar time at college. During my freshman year, I experienced my first real loss when my grandmother passed away. She was one of my favorite people in this world, and I haven’t been the same since she passed. I was unable to perform as well in school, and was just not a happy person. Over the course of the next two years I was able to make a slow climb back to a somewhat decent GPA and out of depression, but then second semester of my junior year at the end of March, I suffered a concussion. I had never had a concussion before, so I didn’t think anything of it, until two days later when I found myself in the wrong location for a class with no recollection of how I got there. That’s when I ran to the University Health Services.

I missed almost two full weeks of classes and was playing catchup for the remainder of the school year. I was able to pull it together and get through my finals with flying colors! I impressed myself and the friends around me as I managed to get through my exams. The two weeks prior I had been in excruciating pain, going back and forth to the University Health Services for my head. I would even begin walking to class and forget where I was going. Between the mood swings, dizziness, throbbing headaches, and forgetfulness, I thought I was going crazy. I couldn’t even stay in my own apartment as my roommates were too loud and disrespectful, not allowing me the space I needed to properly heal.

Losing basic cognitive abilities for a few days made me really appreciate the fragility of the human brain, and the power it holds. Now I’m determined to rock this semester! Going into my senior year, I’ve chosen a variety of classes that are a blend of my genuine interests, major requirements, and fun classes for those extra credits I need. My plan is to kick this semesters butt, have my GPA skyrocket, and apply my rediscovered love and appreciation for my healthy brain to really improve myself academically and personally. I occasionally still deal with minor side effects from my concussion, but I’m thankful for my brain and its ability to bounce back.
