Weekly Thoughts: "Excuse me, who am I?" I hear my friends screaming, "who am I?" in confusion. Identity crisis! Who am I? Discovering who you are may be hard or an easy obstacle, but I believe college is one place where you can discover yourself a little more. The whole idea of going to college is to discover who are as an independent person, away from help-parents. A part of college is living in dormitories. The location of living somewhere new and different helps you define yourself with what struggles you have to go through while learning and growing independtly. College is like a challenge on how you would handle your life independently generally without any help, because you make all your decisions. This is where you are in control of your own life and can learn from your own mistakes. We are often defined by our actions and this is where you can begin your identity.
