(no subject)
It will be two weeks tuesday since I arrived on campus and I gave myself that long to see how I feel about it. After tonight I finally think I know how I feel.
I thought for a while about writing another groove to explain my experience here because grooves are a way for me to convey an emotion that is hard to put simply. That's now how college has been. This place is very satisfying. It doesn't leave a lot to the imagination.
I feel good.
Part of that is because there isn't much work to do yet. But most of it is because I enjoy this campus. I am proud of the reputation and the buildings, oh my gosh the buildings. Every time I walk through my campus I think of how beautiful they are and how many brilliant people have walked through the same doors and hallways. So yes, I am proud to go here. But that would be an empty feeling, that's the kind of thing that would be very easy to write a groove about. Instead, the people i've met and professor's I've talked to are so real. More than anything I hate when people are something they're not because mostly it is a mean or falsely exaggerated version of themselves. The people are who they are the school doesn't pretend to be something that it is not. The upperclassmen and professors have shown that they want me to do well and enjoy life. There is a lot to live up to here and you have to give back what you are given, but it is such a fair, and supportive environment that my heart is warmed.
A lot of people feel empty when they get to college and if anything, I've felt more full of life, and free to be secure. Its such an easy place to live.
People here are smart and they make me think, but not in a threatening way. I just think about life and who I am or want to be. Its really a beautiful situation and I hope you don't think that this little essay is cheesy or contrived because I've spent a good amount of time observing and experiencing life here, and this is how I feel. I hope everyone is in a similar situation because while this place is of course not right for everyone, it is right for me and I hope where you are is exactly right for what you need.
I want to grow here so bad. I feel like it is almost a greenhouse for success where I can grow into, while seeing all the world has to offer on the outside.
Have a beautiful day and take some time to think about all you can do. If you ever have trouble, just call and I'll give you a list! I know who reads this and you're in my thoughts.
