In Freshman year Sarah started her summer experience with working at a garden place tending to plants. I started my summer experience working for my father at our real estate/contracting business. It might sound like hard work but I have done it for many summers before that. The experiences that I had while working out there are always something because I’m working with men in their forties and thirties. You would never know what was going to happen on the job site that day or anything. One thing it did teach me was responsibility and keeping up with my own things. I went on a family vacation too like Sarah but we went on our family beach trip. This year though we went to Key West for vacation. We usually just go to OBX but since I just graduated we decided to go down there. Like Sarah though I did go fishing down there. Another experience that Sarah had was seeing her friend off when she went to college. I had that same experience seeing my friends off. Of my friends 3 of us went to college and they were my closest friends. One went to Radford college and my other friend went to Ole miss college. Like Sarah it was hard because I grew up with these guys my entire life and playing sports with them too. When Sarah moved into college her experience was a little chaotic. My experience was the opposite. My parents did not help me move in. I had my sister help me move in. I left my home with everything in my truck and just moved in. Me and Sarah did have something in common. I did not know my roommate like she did not know hers. Like her the first night I was scared too. I did not know what to expect or anything.
Hello, Daniel. I wanted to start by saying I am glad you had a good fall break. Just like you and Sarah I took the oppourtiny to go home for my fall break. I live about 2 hours away, so it is not too far but just far enough to take a break from Farmville. I was also lucky enough to have all my midterms before break, so I was able to take the weekend to not have to worry about school. I was very greatfuI I got to spend time with my friends, family, dogs and my boyfriend who was also home for break. I was feeling slightly home sick when I returned, and this was the first time I have felt that way since move in. However, I was very excited to see my suitemates especially one who has been gone for about 2 weeks due to being sick. I have also enjoyed going to a small school however before I picked longwood I planned to attend Coastal Carolina university which is a very big school. Although sometimes I have doubts and wonder if I picked the right school, I look at how much I enjoy having smaller classes and getting to know my professors and the people in around me. I have also decided to stay in close contact with my friends from back home. My best friend just moved to South Carolina however we chose to stay very close, and I see her very frequently. I also have my boyfriend who goes to school in North Carolina, but we are from the same hometown and have decide to stay together as we have been on and off for 5 years. I like to keep the people in my life close regardless of distance. I believe the distance has made us as people stronger and learn more about ourselves and each other and support no matter what. I love my friends I have met here very much but my friends back home are irreplaceable
