Year in Review

My year at IUP Punxsy flew by. At the beginning of the year I never thought that it would go by so fast. It is amazing how time flies when you have an enjoyable experience. I have made many new acquaintances throughout my year here. Since I am from Punxsutawney I really didn’t have trouble adjusting. I hope that next year, and the years to follow, I will be able to maintain relationships with those who I have met here. I find it so incredible how you can go to a place and absolutely know nobody, but within a week you know everyone. This small college experience was cool because the professors were personable. They made every effort to help me, and the other students if we needed it. That is pretty amazing considering it doesn’t happen at very many colleges. My best, most vivid memories from this year are those of the time spent in military science class. The instructors were always energetic, and they have become people who I look up to. I will always remember the time that we went over to main campus to shoot target practice. It was my first time ever shooting at an indoor range. Let me just say, it was awesome! Also, I will never forget the psychology paper that we had to write. During the first semester all I heard were people complaining about writing the paper. This really worried me because paper had to be around twenty pages. However, our paper turned out just fine. I guess I could say that I have enjoyed this year here at Punxsy, and that I am ready to move over to main campus. I would also like to thank Dr. Ruffner, who was my advisor, for all the advice that she has given me throughout this year.
