what a monologue? o_O
A new beginning
Filled with mixed emotions
Happy that I’m finally in college
Scared that I don’t know what to expect
Surprised about how different this environment is
Excited because I can’t imagine how my college life is going to be like
All these things ran through my mind as I stepped into school on my first day
Felt like a small fish in a big pond
Everyone is rushing…where do I go?
First class 7th floor
Great the elevators are packed…
Great the escalators aren’t working…
Up the stairs it is
Finally first class…starting to get anxious
Time passes & I start to adjust
No more walking up the stairs found my alternatives
Still scared…am I going to pass college
Still surprised…I am considered a grown up now
How BORING!
Everyone ask…How’s college?
I say it’s going just adjusting
Semester is almost over & I’m still adjusting
Can’t help but wonder…is this normal?
Still happy I was made some nice friends
Still scared about what’s going to happen next semester it’s going to feel like I’m starting all over
Hoping to make more friends
Hoping to become more involved
Feel like I have a million things to do and no time
But yet I’m still excited that I made it this far

The dusty Clarinet
I have many interests, but I have always had a passion for playing the clarinet. In elementary school my parents forced me to join the school band. Naturally, I was opposed to doing so, but I gave it a shot and to my surprise I loved it! I had a natural talent for it, and over the years I became a very good musician. I played clarinet throughout middle school and high school. I was apart of all the bands, orchestras and musical ensembles. I took private lessons and grew as a musician with each passing year. I eventually became the Orchestra student-leader, a coveted position within the band geek clique. I was assigned all the solos during the winter/spring performances and even had the opportunity to play in Disney World in Orlando,Florida. However, during my senior year of high school I decided to stop participating in music class, to take up some APs needed for college; which led to me giving up the Clarinet. I haven’t played since, and I truly regret that I stopped playing. My music teacher always encouraged me to continue learning and perhaps take it up as a major in College. Altho I don’t see that as a viable option, considering the limited occupations associated with having a career in music, I will always regret giving up my passion for it. It’s unfortunate how we have to give up our passions in life just so we will have a “successful” future. Hopefully one day, I’ll take my dusty Clarinet out of the closet and play once more.
