I Found My Home In That College On The Hill

The perfect fit for me.

I Found My Home In That College On The Hill
Cloudfront

As I sit in the middle of the dinning hall, surrounded by friends that I feel like i’ve known for a lifetime all though I met them a few short weeks ago, I feel happy. As I walk to class with the sun shining down and strangers smiling, I feel happy. As I go into town, sit down at my new favorite ice cream shop and watch the people pass me by all laughing and sharing stories, I feel happy.

When I chose Denison, I was nervous. I didn’t know if choosing the school where I knew no one, the school that was miles and even states away from where I grew up, was really right for me. I didn’t know if that college on the hill was a place I could truly call my home for the next four years, but I am so happy to say I was wrong.

Choosing where to spend the next four years of your life is intimidating. There are so many options, so many schools and so many people telling you where to look and where to apply. Through the whole college search process my biggest fear was overlooking the school that was “the perfect fit” for me. With so many different places out there, I was never really certain I had found the right one.

When I came to visit Denison, I had that feeling. The feeling that no one can really describe but always say you’ll feel when you find the place for you. I could picture myself doing homework under the trees in A quad. I could see me walking to class and joking around with the students. I could imagine being apart of the Denison family.

Now with almost a week at Denison under my belt, I already feel a sense of comfort. I am actually doing all of the things I pictured when I came here on my tour and I have never been happier. I have found my place, I have found my home in that college on the hill.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
