Maroon Monday

After over a year away from College Station, I found myself back in Aggieland for a few hours yesterday.  I had such a great time walking around, taking pictures of all the exciting changes on campus (MSC, Military Walk, Liberal Arts Building).

Of course I can't help but feel nostalgic—life in Aggieland was such an important time for me.  I think being here helped me grow a lot,  and this is where I met many of my favorite people.  Texas A&M wasn't the obvious choice of school for me (first generation Aggie!), but it's impossible for me to imagine my college years in any other place.

(Now please indulge me as I watch this emotionally manipulative advertisement, designed to make former students like me feel extra sentimental.)

I feel blessed to have so many great memories here, and I love trying to imagine all of the future Aggies that will create their own memories in this historic and ever evolving place.

My life in New York has been truly wonderful, but I really enjoyed being back here for a hot Monday afternoon—driving into College Station felt like coming home.
