Social Life

I guess I’d spent so many years as an only child at a magnet school, isolated by distance from my friends and the real world, that coming to a place where I’m surrounded by so many fun and intelligent kids like me all the time was a needed refuge.

My hallmates are wonderful, and it’s always entertaining here cuz we don’t seem to run out of crazy things to do, from bakery and cider runs (ten dollar mug = free cider for a year!) in Colonial Williamsburg to a perfect attendance party (playing twister at the basement of the library) to hurricane frisbee (playing frisbee on the sunken gardens in a thunderstorm…the whole sunken gardens is transformed into a slip n slide) to movies and ping pong tournaments in the attic, painting murals on the walls, going out to the governor’s palace lawn at night and stargazing while our astronomy friends tell stories and others play music softly in the background, culture shows with free ethnic food, a visit from the director of Scrubs (who went here!), ting tings concert, beach and Busch Gardens for study breaks, or just fitting too many people in one room and chatting all night long.
