Not cool. The union here is about a blockish from our dorm. Good thing about this campus is that we have a Walmart and I never have to leave! Unless I need to go home with my roommate or something. lol

How big is your school? Yikes!

Really....really.....really....big Lol it's like a miniature town. I love it though. Coming from a tiny town, I was ready for a BIG change when I moved here.

I love it! I'm involved in a worship group, and surrounded by so many great people. I don't really have my family's support, they didn't want me to leave (naturally) but it's still hard. I'd think after a year and a half they'd have adjusted.

Yeah. I think it can be hard to let someone leave home after they've been there so long. My mom still cooks enough for four even when I'm not around.

I don't know if it's a habit parents ever outgrow...

Right, I understand that. People in the south are just so much sweeter than people up north that I feel at home here.

At least I think we are...

Um. You're my new best friend. I love me some pancakes. The ones in the dining hall just aren't up to par.

My mother was born in Connecticut.

Yay! A new friend!

New friends are great assets

Oh wow! Whereabouts if you don't mind me asking? I grew up in a small town.

Well, my pawpaw was in the Navy and they lived in Hartford for over a year she was born almost a week after they moved there.
