Beautiful to Watch, Reluctant to Travel During Winter

I'm a bit of an exception. A lot of my class comes from California and wasn't ready for the New England winter. I thought it was a little easier than the winters in Wisconsin. The fall is GORGEOUS. You get to see all the trees on the mountainside slowly reach vivid colors in their peak. While it's great to see the seasons change in this countryside, it's also a pain to travel to your courses off-campus in the winter...at least we HAVE a bus.

Needed to Find a Medium

You meet a lot of sincerely passionate students. It's so interesting to hear all these causes they're interested in. But it came be a bit overwhelming at first (especially for a girl who grew up in the conservative midwest). Although I love to hear how progressive some of these students are, I also wonder, are they for real? Some of them aren't. Some of us give our school a bad name by being slackers....it's funny. I either find people so dedicated to their studies or people who are just on auto pilot. I made friends with people right in the middle so I'm still inspired and yet not intimidated by workaholics!
