Living On Campus Changed My Life— For The Absolute Better
Tatum Morrow

This was my first year attending Saginaw Valley State University and I’m honestly glad I made the decision to move an hour and a half from home to attend here.

I always heard the saying, “you have to live on campus to have the whole college experience.” I believe that’s true. This whole year has been a totally new experience, with all the ups and downs, I’m still glad I live on campus. If I didn’t live on campus I wouldn’t have met all of the people I did and joined many RSO’s.

This year alone I am a part of 6 different RSO’s, and next year I get to serve on the e-board for one of them. My friends and I have had so many accomplishments this past year its crazy to think about what if I stayed at home, didn’t meet anyone and didn’t join anything. This year I did so many new things and got back into many old things. Did you know Pokémon go is huge on college campuses?

I stay up late and have my first class at 10:30 or 11:30, depends on the day and i'm not sure which i prefer. By 4:20 I’m done for the day. Between classes and for dinner I eat in the FOC. It stands for food on campus. The FOC may have terrible food but I always await the days where they have good food, like mashed potatoes, pasta, or nugg day. Now that I live on campus I got out of my comfort zone and its truly amazing.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
