Sophomore Year in Review

by Travis Rocha

Well, the time has finally come. This is my last blog of the year. I’m not sure how many I wrote, but it’s definitely over 100 which is a number I am proud to have reached. So much has happened this year, looking through all of my past blogs is quite the trip down memory lane. In the beginning of the year, I had trouble committing to organizations. The Christopher Newport community is such a thriving, creative environment and I knew I wanted to more a part of it than I already was. I just didn’t know where to begin.

Though, after making some connections and extending my social circle I began feeling more comfortable becoming active on campus. I ended up joining CAB and the Theater Department, two organizations that I absolutely love being a part of. On top of all my other commitments, I have had a busy semester, but I wouldn’t ask for it any other way. I feel so involved on this campus. I know that Christopher Newport was the right choice for me. I wanted to become part of a college community, not just be a student. On top of that, I wanted to become a productive member who made every year count.

I’m halfway through my college career and I definitely believe I have made some real progress with my goals. The friends I have made, faculty and students alike, have given me some of the most hilarious and wonderful memories that I hope to never forget. I’m excited to have a nice, long break over summer, but I will definitely miss Christopher Newport. I’ll also miss writing blogs, but I’ll be back soon enough! See you next semester!
