Tonight I attended the first Rose House Café of the year. I really enjoyed the set-up tonight and look forward to how they will be run in the future. Although I’ve only lived in Rose for a few weeks now, the sense of community I can already feel from the other residents is incredible. I can’t wait to get to know Professor Blalock and the entirety of the Scholar’s staff throughout this program. Being a part of the discussion tonight made me feel so welcomed and at home. I was relieved to find out other girls in Lyon Hall are just as fed up with the bathrooms as I am! Overall, tonight’s café really helped me gage how this semester is going to unfold and I am so excited to be a part of this experience.
