I chose a religious university based on its personal learning atmosphere and impressive academic credentials. Although frustrated at times with the strict rules I'm sure in the future I won't regret my choice. In comparison, my cousin Kristen chose hers based on being close to home and having a good time; apparently a degree was an afterthought. When I was home on break I got to experience dorm party life at my cousin's university which was just a tad bit different from mine.
It's almost impossible to believe that four years could pass so quickly. I was graduating from college today! It was a special weekend in my life, one my dad was all too happy to make even more special for me.
Thanksgiving has always been a time for our family to get together. Each year we switch off as to who hosts the event and this year it was my dad’s turn. As things turned out, his brothers had more to be thankful for by the time the day was over.
