As a freshman Teaching Fellow I moved into Umstead Hall about a month ago. This was my first time sharing a room and living away from my parents. At first I was extremely nervous and uneasy with the living situation. The first few days were rather miserable to me. My roommate was involved with marching band and I was rather lonely. Soon after our trip to Camp Don Lee, however, I was well on my way to having a good time in college. I have met so many awesome people that by the time I went home for Labor Day weekend I was severely bored back in my old setting and was longing for my friends back at my new home.
We’ve been through a lot in such a short time. I really enjoy living with the Teaching Fellows and Maynard Scholars. I’m really proud to be in this program I don’t think college would be the same if I wasn’t a part of this group. I look forward to spending the rest of the year with my new family.
