I brag about my school and my campus a lot. There are beautiful trees, beautiful buildings and beautiful people across campus. Usually on a great day with great weather, you would see dozens of Eno hammocks hung in front of the freshman girls' dorm, Vail Hall. Some students even refer to this as Eno Village or Eno City. Except, that wasn't the case on March 10 because majority of the Enos had been stolen. Including mine.

I left my Eno hanging on Thursday morning to go back to my room and grab a few things, fix breakfast, get ready for the day. I returned, and it was gone. At first, I was confused. I knew I hadn't taken it down, and I hadn't been gone for longer than 45 minutes. I saw my jar of peanut butter and PINK fanny pack (where I keep my straps) sitting on the ground near the trees I usually keep my Eno hanging. I looked around and noticed there was only one Eno left. Weird.

After being confused, filing a report with public safety and learning that some of my sorority sisters also had theirs stolen, I became angry. I honestly don't understand the point of stealing someone else's property. I love my Eno. I spend a lot of time in it whether I am studying, hanging out with friends, doing a devotional, etc. How dare someone steal something that is not rightfully theirs in the middle of broad daylight?

Just yesterday, I was saying how great it is that on Samford's campus I can leave my Eno up, go to class and come back to relax without having to worry about ever taking the time to take it down. In fact, I usually only take it down for bad weather. I'm not the only student who does this. Actually, most students leave their Enos up because you reserve your spot to hang. Since outdoors-y living is a common love among students, it might be hard to find two open trees on a gorgeous day.

The Bible clearly states that taking something that is not yours is considered stealing, and stealing is a sin. I feel like this is not a hard concept to grasp, but somewhere on Samford's not-so-perfect campus, there is someone who should feel guilty for ruining so many people's week.

All in all, I can just spend $100 on another Eno and a pair of straps, but until then, I won't have my favorite study spot for midterms and won't have my Eno to put up between palm trees on spring break. I will miss being able to spend my free time in Eno Village.

You would think that the students at Samford's campus should know matter, and most of us do considering we made it almost the whole school year without our Enos being stolen. It only takes one time to ruin it for everyone.
