College is an experience. Yes, you are paying for a wonderful education. But it's through the experiences you have that you truly learn.
Our first learning experience in the Honors Program was our trip to Memphis, Tennessee. From a picturesque stroll down Beale Street to a splendid conversation of poetry in the hot tub, our first night was a lovely evening of getting to know a group of wonderful strangers. We were serenaded by the sweet, but drunken, townfolk, and we witnessed the coolest, sci-fi bridge ever constructed in the history of man! The art museum was very...art-like. I almost died after tripping on a tablecloth. Hmmm...I purchased a nifty, little greeting card that had the word "THING" satirizing the Hollywood sign on it. I will send it to a fellow card lover one day. maybe.      The zoooooo was marvelous!!! Although, after searching for the penguins for eight years....when we finally arrived, it was rather a disappointing endeavor after all. Nevertheless, the ride home with our controversial convos of my newly made aquaintances was a great way to end a most interesting of weekends.
My college experience thus far has been great. Truly. Not like this soup is great, great. But, really, honest to goodness great. I don't live on campus, and yet, everyone still makes me feel so welcome. Like I'm still part of the action.
Great friends.
Great bagels.
Life is great :)
