Clemson!!!

Hey y'all! Greetings from the Palmetto State!

I have been meaning to post for a while! But, I've been so crazy busy lately!

So Clemson....IS AMAZING! I absolutely love it down here.

I have met so many really awesome people. Life in the South is just wonderful. It's a very different world. People here are relaxed, laid back, and simply take one thing at a time. They are also peaceful, slow, friendly, thoughtful, sweet, and tend to be very religious. Also, everything is basically closed on Sundays. These southerners live up the "holy day." I love that. I wish that people up North had that mentality as well. After all, it's the way it should be.

I am already involved in several clubs here as well! I am doing Habitat for Humanity, Students for Life, and FCA - Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I will definitely keep "all of y'all" updated on what I am doing in each club. (I do facebook a lot of what I do each day!) There is so much to do here.

I love the food here. The people who work around the campus (cafeteria workers, trash collectors, janitors & etc.) are also very sweet people! I have not encountered one miserable person yet.

I feel like I am able to be myself here. I (would like to think that I) was always a very laid back, chill person. It's nice to be surrounded by people who are similar. It's also very special to be surrounded by very conservative, Christian people. I love being in the "bible-belt." People here are not afraid to be religious. I feel that I have found the place I am meant to be in - the South.

I do miss my family A LOT! But, I am really looking forward to Parent's Weekend soon! That will definitely be tons of fun. I am also looking forward to coming home for Fall Break at the very end of October. =]

Well, the first home football game of the season is this Saturday, September 4th. I cannot even begin to tell y'all how excited I am for it!

I will definitely try to post more often!

With Love and Peace,

Amy

GO TIGERS!
