I never thought I would actually miss Rotterdam when I went away to college. Looking back all the way to the beginning of the semester I realize how much I have grown up. This assignment was written after the fall break, which was my first time being home with all my friends since we left for college. The timing of this paper really affected my writing. When I was at home I believe I slept better in my own bed for those 4 days then I had since I arrived at college. Being home with my friends helped me realize it’s not the location you’re in but rather the people you’re surrounded with. Reflecting on my choice of coming to Utica further instills this thought. Several people are transferring because they don’t like it here, I love it here. I’ve made so many amazing friends that I couldn’t imagine my life without. The people who constantly complain about hating their town are the worst. This assignment made me realize how important it is to surround yourself with positive
