College.

Right now I'm sporting a maroon shirt that simple says "COLLEGE" on it in orange letters. It's been just over a week now since I moved into my dorm and its amazing how much meaning has already been put into the simple word of COLLEGE. In the past week our room has already been set up two different ways, we've managed to make messes and clean them up too many times to count, laundry has been done, studying has been attempted (mostly by my roommate), and we've managed to take part in something different every night. 

One of my favorite experiences so far took place over the span of Thursday and Friday. In Squires Student Center there's a room called Colonial hall. On Thursday afternoons I sit in that room and listen to a sociology lecture, Thursday night it hosts a Cru worship service 400+ strong, and this Friday night it became a temporary home for an exotic animal exhibit where I held a python and a parrot. What I absolutely love is how much this one room symbolizes the entire college experience. How so many seemingly different things and people can share such a common bond, and that bond is college, Virginia Tech in this case. 

I've still got one week less than four years ahead of me, but seeing how well this first one went I can only imagine the greatness that is to come (:
