What Greenville, North Carolina Is To Me

Greenville, North Carolina. Some people see it as just a town in North Carolina. Some people see it as home of East Carolina University. Some people see it as the place where Sup Dogs is. I see this place like home, and so much more than that. Greenville, North Carolina has been a life-changing place for me.

I came to Greenville in August for my freshman year as a student at ECU. I thought that eventually it would all get more familiar and I would start getting used to it, but never did I think I would call it home. Greenville is different than any other college town I have been to and different from any other town in general.

Greenville is a town in the south, which was a little bit of a change for someone from Maryland. Living in the south for the first time was a fantastic experience for me. The hospitality in Greenville is amazing and can be found in every establishment in the town. The personality of Greenville is a story of its own.

I can't quite describe what makes it so special, but there is something for everyone and every time of day. There is almost always something to do in Greenville, and there are a few things that would make you say "just Greenville things".

Above all, Greenville is where I met some of the very best people I have ever met. So many great people have come into my life as a result of being in Greenville. Whether these people are originally from Greenville or not, it is where I met them, so it attracts great people.

After living in the same place for most of my life, going to a new state was different, but I am beyond thankful I moved to Greenville. Greenville now feels more like home to me than Maryland does, and that's not a bad thing!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
