What Greenville, North Carolina Is To Me

Greenville, North Carolina. Some people see it as just a town in North Carolina. Some people see it as home of East Carolina University. Some people see it as the place where Sup Dogs is. I see this place like home, and so much more than that. Greenville, North Carolina has been a life-changing place for me.

I came to Greenville in August for my freshman year as a student at ECU. I thought that eventually it would all get more familiar and I would start getting used to it, but never did I think I would call it home. Greenville is different than any other college town I have been to and different from any other town in general.

Greenville is a town in the south, which was a little bit of a change for someone from Maryland. Living in the south for the first time was a fantastic experience for me. The hospitality in Greenville is amazing and can be found in every establishment in the town. The personality of Greenville is a story of its own.

I can't quite describe what makes it so special, but there is something for everyone and every time of day. There is almost always something to do in Greenville, and there are a few things that would make you say "just Greenville things".

Above all, Greenville is where I met some of the very best people I have ever met. So many great people have come into my life as a result of being in Greenville. Whether these people are originally from Greenville or not, it is where I met them, so it attracts great people.

After living in the same place for most of my life, going to a new state was different, but I am beyond thankful I moved to Greenville. Greenville now feels more like home to me than Maryland does, and that's not a bad thing!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
