I went to Virginia Tech at seventeen. The mountains of snow and 8:00AM classes across the entire campus were brutal and not for me. I missed many of those early classes and kept up by reading, completely, and submitting all assignments. Worked for me!
Tech was not a time in my life that I have great memories of but I needed to leave home early.
Like you, I didn’t make any female friends that I stayed in touch with at all the nanosecond I left.
I had an odd roommate and never felt comfortable.
She was all about horses, quite reclusive, and no humor, so I pretty much stayed out of the dorm room all day.
I loved reading about every job you had, now thinking, I should have worked in a club!
😂
Ron and I both put ourselves through college, grad school, speech-path internships, board exams for both of us, dental school, etc, while working three jobs each to succeed and earn our educational credentials. We’ll never forget this and ALWAYS say that doing this ourselves makes us appreciate our educations immensely all the time, just like you!
Thank you for your candor, experiences, and your life each week! I look so forward to Fridays.
Thank you Lenore! It's so funny bc the first roomie I had on campus was also an equestrian, lol. I knew her from high school. We got placed with a 3rd roommate we didn't know; at the start of the next semester, the equestrian moved out and it was just me and the other girl in this large dorm room 😜🤷🏻♀️ Also, people who don't have to work during college don't realize how good they have it 😉
Your post was stellar snd fascinating.🤨
