My "home" home is Delaware, Ohio where my family is,
and where I grew up... but the longer I am at student at the University of Dayton, the more I feel at home here too. True, I am a senior and I've lived here for almost four years, but UD did not always feel so comfortable. Freshman year was a year full of emotions. I had a difficult time adjusting, but eventually started to make some of the best friends I've ever had.
I love my high school friends, and the memories we have
shared, and continue to share together, but the bond you make with college friends is different and rare. I live with three girls, Shanley, Kristina and Bree who seriously make me laugh everyday. They are my moms away from Delaware. We have fun together all the time, and I love 'coming home to them' :).
My Zeta Tau Alpha sorority sisters, including my recently enlarged Zeta family, also make UD feel like home. I love the sisterhood that we share and the events we attend together. I know I can either count on crying (in a good way) or laughing at any Zeta event.
My little Sarah is sitting here with me now, and she offered "sometimes both crying and laughing at the same event!" Which is true. My other little, Lindsay is in Rome this semester, educating herself in a new country (and maybe finding love, in the most romantic place on earth), and I miss her every day. My two grandlittles, Anna and Emily are both searching for two new additions to our family, and I can't wait for big/little week! My big, Meghan sadly graduated last May, and is living in St. Louis starting her career as a wonderful newswoman!
The third aspect of home here at UD, are my major friends. I have made some wonderful friendships with students in my major and love seeing them in all of my classes! Next year, when I will hopefully be a graduate student at UD will include living and playing with a lot of them!
God Bless!
