(the following is an excerpt from an email from one of my best friends on why college was sooo great for us)

The way I look at it is, thats now our life. Think bout hs life and college life...Whats one big difference....FREEDOM. I think the main thing that attracts us to it is we can do WHATEVER we want WHENEVER we want and no one...well minus RAs can stop us (thanks kate...) Plus I dont know about your houses but I think KY is soo much prettier than Ohio. Like I LOVE driving through the mountains and walking back from class and seeing the mountains in the distance. I never really realized how much I loved that either until I went back to see Jon a few weeks ago and saw em. And I was like damn...Not only that but we've all started over, a new life...made some changes in ourselves, done some things wrong, som things bad, met new friends, made best ones....Now we've returned home....And well these changes/friends arent all accepted by our old lives. Plus I'm at the pooint where I want to move on I dont want my old life back I love my new one. It's not that Ive changed taht much but just being awawy from my house has helped me a lot, and believe it or not I am a lot less shy now than I was before I went to school. Granted its not nessearily MOREHEAD that was so great...it wouldve happend anywhere. However I seriously really doubt I wouldve met this many great people anywhere else. As another Ohio thing, people here are totally rude. Unfriendly, not respectful, just assholes in general. people in KY are soooooo much nicer. LIke they're totally the make yourself at home people. I dont really now how to explain it but you guys prolly know what Im talking about. Just like mary was in shock at how nice everyone was and its just a nicer place to be over all. And cave run is actually really really pretty and Im sure lukegi is in the day time. But you also have to consider that when there isnt anything to do thats when the fun begins. Long late night talks, trips to the C-store for movie night, sunday night rounds of connections w/the girls & WHISKEY YCUK!!!!!!!!!, trips to SMOKY VALLEY, tattoos are drawn, adventures in the library, trips to the tunnel at 1am....and the list could go on forever. And that really depressed me :( But another good thing about morehead actually is just the small classes & small classes. I mean at UK youd go out to a party and see maybe 2 peeople u know. Here u go and know almost everyone. True sometimes thats also a downfall but I like it that way. If we dont wanna see people we know thats when the road trips begin! :) So the way I look at it our lives in Morehead were awesome. Not morehead itself. But like me and u both said once court, its what u make of it and we made it fun. But how many other campuses have blow up games and the lawn night movie thing and all the stuff that went out on in ADUC...Its just little stuff.
