Today I am especially thankful for my school and this community that I live in here! Today I gave my first "official" tour for the admissions office, and it really made me realize how much I love it here! I am surrounded by truly wonderful people here, and my specific group of friends has really helped me to strengthen my relationship with God the past two months.
Not only are my friends here terrific, but I am honestly blessed by a beautiful school! I feel so much joy walking around campus and seeing all of the massive trees and the gorgeous brick buildings. At night, the buildings glow under the moonlight, and you can actually see the stars if you look up (something you can't see in my suburban home!). Adorable squirrels are a common sight on campus, and are often just a few feet away from you. One of my absolute favorite things that I see while walking on campus is my school's chapel. The chapel has kind of become the "poster child" for my school, and is on many of our logos and in many of our promotion pictures. There are two tall steeples that rise from the building, and right in the middle of them is a cross. This can symbolize so many different things, but I see it as Christ being the center of our community. Between our social lives and our academics, or the organizations we are involved in, or perhaps even the many trials we may face in college, Christ is right there in the middle of it with us.
