I want an acorn and an oak tree

So I teased ya'll last night because I didn't post about my AMAZING time at Elon so I figured I would do it tonight. How do I start?? First off I guess I can say that this is my top choice and this is where I feel that I would be able to really be myself and be able to make a difference.

At the Spring Open House that I attended on Saturday, I got a tour of the Campus, which happens to be ABSOLUTELY beautiful, learn about some of the different majors, the campus life and hear from students about how Elon had changed their lives and why they chose Elon.

First of all, the campus at Elon University is so beautiful, its on 140 acres and has tons of tree surrounding it. It was built in 1889 and all but one of the building burnt down in a fire that happened in 1929. That is where their mascot came from. Before '29 Elon was the Fighting Christians since then they became the Phoenixes because a phoenix rises from the ashes which is exactly what they did when they decided to rebuild the school. Being on campus just for that 10 hours was amazing and I felt that if I attended Elon that I would feel at home, in every sense of the word.

The professors at Elon seem great. I heard testomonies from students saying how much they felt that the professors wanted to see you succeed just like anyone else that cares for you. With Elon being a rather small school only 5,000 students classes are small and every students gets a more intimate bond with their professors.

The students at Elon seemed to really enjoy it, and a plus was that every single one couldn't find one negative about it. They all felt like this was the best place on earth and that is something I find truly amazing.

My day at Elon was one of my favorites and with my sights set on Elon, I only have two issues as of right now; my SAT score, and the cost, but as soon as these things can get sorted I will be well on my way to being a Phoenix. Well other than the application process and actually getting accepted.

Visiting Elon was a great way to finish off my break, and now I'm going to bed because we have school tomorrow. A friend of my put it in perspective for me though, we only have 9 Mondays left. Lets make sure these 9 Mondays rock because soon enough High School will be over and we will all be far apart and the memories we make need to last us a lifetime! :)
