I have decided I love living on the East Coast.

Ok, let me back up….So much has happened in my life since I last wrote!

First, we had Campus Experience/Open House the first weekend in April, which was fun because I had an amazing girl from California stay with me! So that was super fun, to hang out with someone from my state, and show her all the wonders of SPC….=)

Then, last Tuesday, I flew home to surprise my family for Easter!! So that was REALLY good, I got to see my family, and two of my best friends from home, plus do all the great California (and general home) things that I’ve missed so much…eat real Mexican food, go to the beach, eat homemade food, sleep in my own bed, have my laundry done for me, and all those fun things. So I had a GREAT week at home.

This is me with 2 of my best friends from home =)

And the beach of course, was AMAZING =)

As amazing as home was, coming back was nice too. I didn’t realize how much I missed my friends from school, despite the fact that I talked to them nearly everyday.
I feel like I’m finally at that point where I know that I made the right decision in coming to SPC. I mean, I was always happy with my decision before, for all the logical reasons (it was financially better, I got to see a new part of the country, it’s a good school, etc.), but now I can really say for sure for myself that I am so happy I came here. I love Saint Peters. I love living on the East Coast. I love getting to know people so different from me. I love the small size and personal attention from all the faculty and staff. I love my classes. I love my friends, and the fact that I can get to know so many people on campus, whether they are freshman or seniors. Saint Peter’s was definitely the right place for me.
