The Green, Green Grass

I love Greeley in the summer. It is by far one of my favorite things about UNC. Seeing all of the grass turn green and the excitement that‘s on every inch of campus. Seeing the hundreds of new freshman coming to orientation and the completion of the new residence hall, it’s a pretty amazing place to be any time of year, but especially during the summer. I remember the first time I saw UNC in the summer. It was my orientation in June 2006. It was hot and I remember thinking how glad I was that there was air conditioning. When I moved in to McCowen Hall in August of 2006 for Lead On, college became a reality and I was definitely nervous, or anxious or just really excited.

A little bit about myself: I’m a junior Theatre Arts major with an emphasis in Secondary Education, and will have a minor some time soon. As a freshman I was the President of the McCowen Hall council, during the year we won for best homecoming float by a residence hall. My sophomore year I was a Resident Assistant in Harrison Hall. I was on 3 south and it was a blast. My residents were awesome and always kept me on my toes. Now going into my junior year I’ve taken on another role. I am the President of the Residence Hall Association. My job entails working to connect all of the residence halls with other halls, campus and the greater Greeley community. I also work at the visitor’s center as a telecounselor.

I guess from here on in I’ll be writing about my experiences I have during the remainder of the summer and throughout the next year. I am excited to be blogging about UNC and hope that it will be interesting, sometimes funny, and helpful to anyone looking at schools.
