A girl (part 3)

The thought of college had always appealed to Anna. She enjoyed her childhood and growing up in a small, closely knit community, but a part of her also longed to explore and experience new things, and going to a university where her class size was larger than the population of her entire town would certainly be a new experience.

Anna had always been an average student, and so she chose to go to an average school where she received an average amount of financial aide and took average freshman classes as she explored what exactly it was she would want to do with the rest of her life. She was a good student, but did nothing to really make herself stand out among her peers. She spoke her fair share in her political science and literature classes. She quietly crunched numbers in mathematics and economics. Some professors knew her name, and others didn't. Some students started to recognize her and others didn't.

Anna joined a couple of clubs. She learned to play tennis and attempted to sing, which she quickly gave up on. She enjoyed film club, mostly because of her wide and non-particular taste in movies. Boys talked to her rather easily, but none went out of their way to get with her. She flirted a little with some of them: enough to get a boyfriend second semester, a nice boy who found appeal in her small town look and feel, whatever that might mean.

Overall, freshman year was a good year, and after taking an excellent class second semester, Anna chose her major: psychology.
