When you’re looking at colleges, it’s difficult to know exactly what it’s like to live on campus after just one visit. Each college has a different feel, and there’s only so much you can learn from the admissions brochures and tour guides.
I’d never stayed at Kenyon over a break before, so it felt like something I had to try over my last break as a student.
This past weekend I got to head down to New Orleans with the Kenyon Jazz Ensemble to play a few shows in the birthplace of jazz.
There are many things you learn when you enter college: how to deal with friends, how to live with others, and how to navigate every space you encounter. One of the best (nonacademic) things I’ve learned so far at Kenyon is how to productively procrastinate. Now, I know it sounds crazy, but it’s quite possibly the best discovery since the Internet.
My house in California will always feel like home to me, but now that I’ve acquired another home in Ohio, I’m learning what it means to have two homes.
