A Trip That Defines a Summer

A trip that defines a summer.

Driving an hour and a half to a state I have only visited once. To meet a new person I have never met. All to have a date that would probably go down as the best first date ever. This trip was worth it.

To start the adventure I traveled to the northwestern corner of Connecticut in which I met up with my date. We headed to the mountain they had choose due its nice views and simple climb. We talked very easy in the car and it almost seemed like we were just hanging out like friends going on a hike. This continued as we started the hike up the mountain, sharing funny stories and things we had done. Relating to each other on multiple topics and never losing a beat other than to get a breath on the up hill trek.

What was amazing about this hike was that no one else bothered us that day, we didn't run in to anyone. It was as if the whole mountain was our own.

This mountain had multiple false peaks that led me to ask "are we there yet" like some wining kid in the back seat of a car. But we made it to the top and I was surprised by the wide view this peak allowed. It gave us a clear view of the whole surrounding mountains, it let us peer into neighboring lakes and the wind came across the peak giving us a break from the heat of the day. This is where we took our first break enjoying the successful feeling of making it up and enjoying each others company.

The really interesting topic that was brought up was if I wanted to try the hammock up here that my date brought. I was a little surprised by this as it seemed out of a book or a movie to be on a date on a mountain with the thought of being in a hammock. I quickly agreed and we looked around for a place to set up. It took us a few tries and tests before we found a good set up. So like any other twenty year old, I hopped into the hammock with my date and continued the date.

Sitting on top of the mountain hanging within a two person hammock. Learning the deeper questions about someone new and starting to bridge trust between both of us. I can't really describe how relaxed, special and free I felt. This was such a new experience and it deeply touched me. My date made me feel like a I was out of movie and I couldn't have been happier. So never doubt what could be with a first date because the world is ready to surprise you.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
