First post? Oh my, what to write, what to write...

I guess I could describe how my first month as a Rutgers Student was like.  It was amazing, and I love it here :)  I live on Busch campus at B.E.S.T hall, which stands for Busch Engineering and Sciences and Techology.  Or something of that sort.  It's a brand new building, so I LOVE IT.  Each year our building focuses on a theme, so this year was based on the Gulf Oil Spill.  We had a reporter from USA Today give a talk about her thoughts about the Oil Spill, and we had 'New Orleans' food.  Food is always a good incentive to attend things, something I've learned while being here, eheheh.   

I am proud to say that I no longer get completely lost now.  I highly recommend that the day before classes start, go exploring with your friends.  And bring a map.  Find where your classes are, figure out what buses to take.  AND WRITE IT DOWN SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT THE NEXT DAY.  I learned that the hard way :/  I actually ended up 5 minutes late to one of my Calculus lectures because I got lost in the building.  Its not completely my fault, I blame the hallways, they all look the same.  I actually entered through the back of the building because I thought it would be quicker. Nope.  Never again. 

There are an unbelievably huge amount of clubs and organizations here.  I signed up for about a dozen things, but I'm currently in the process of filtering the clubs that I think are interesting.  But yeah, there is a club for just about everything.  One club that caught my eye was the SEPRC, the seeing eye puppy rasing club.  And yes, they raise puppies.  And yes, they are adorable.  A reason to apply to Rutgers? Perhaps. 

Even though Rutgers is a big school, I still feel a sense of community around here.  I see familiar faces everyday, and once you get to know them, the school feels small.  And there's always the plus that you meet interesting people everyday.  Everyday.  I don't know, everyone is just so nice here. 

But yeah, hi guys, I'm really excited about being a Rutgers Blogger :)  I guess you'll hear from me soon, I promise. Make that a pinky promise.  Yes, a virtual one.  Consider it done.
