This past weekend I went to Mississippi State. I have a couple of friends up there that I haven't seen in a while so I was excited to get to go. The drive up there was absolutely boring! There's a bunch of trees and the sky and that's about it. I was speeding like crazy to get there. Thankfully I didn't get a speeding ticket. If you've read my previous blog you understand my "affinity" for tickets.
Getting there was such a relief. Staying in my friend's dorm room was like staying at the Hilton. they're so much nicer than MCs dorms. They come with a full fridge, a microwave, nice furniture, and awesome bathroom! A lot of people were at the Alabama game so it was sort of dead. We went to eat a few times during the weekend and just hung out.
Strangely enough, while I was at state, I started to miss MC. I never thought I'd miss being at MC but since rush and becoming a part of Shawreth, I've started to feel like MC is my home now. The atmosphere at state was so different from MC and seemed very impersonal. Being there really showed me that I've picked the right college. The people at MC are so different than the people at state. I'm sure the fact that it is a Christian college has a lot to do with it. christians are expected to be "nice" so I think that sort of helps overall with getting to know people. the smaller size helps too. State is a lot bigger and they have more of an emphasis on sports which draws a different type of people. Overall, MC was a good choice for me and I haven't really understood that until I visited state.

I'm glad you got to go to State and hang out with friends. Hopefully you'll get to go again soon. I think MC was a good choice for me, too. I'm glad you feel the same way.
I think it's interesting how visits to other colleges affect each person. I know when I visited my friends at a state college it made me feel less at home with MC...hence the reason I'm transferring next semester
