More from the College Girl

A little update from my favorite college co-ed! She's been there for over a month now and all is going fairly well. UNK (University of Nebraska-Kearney) attracts lots of students from central and western Nebraska. It seems the majority live close enough to go home every weekend which they do and that makes the campus pretty quiet on weekends! Classes are going well and Maddie has joined some study groups and uses the Writing Resource Center for English essays. Can I tell you that she has the weirdest English comp class - it's like English comp with a heavy dose of philosophy and religion. The essay topics can be challenging but the teacher is super nice, so that makes up for the strange subjects.

She is finding the cafeteria to be a bit lacking in yummy food. Sometimes at least the desserts are yummy so that helps! AND bonus - there is a Chick-Fil-A in the student union! Notice her Chick-Fil-YAY tshirt above!

Maddie joined a sorority so has been getting busy with activities there and getting to know the other girls. Last year during the height of Covid pandemic, Greek life was pretty non-existent, so this year is a bonus with lots of fun things going on. After such a lousy end to her senior year of high school and her first year of college, it's great that she has the chance to meet some new people and have a more normal college life.

I've made quick day trips to visit her a couple times and fall break is coming right up! So excited to have her home for a few days! But they will be busy days as she is doing some fall mini-photo sessions for people. She's been doing photos for the sorority girls too and she loves doing those. So, all in all, it's going well. We all miss her to pieces! Frannie seems a bit depressed and has stolen a teddy bear that belonged to Maddie. Dang dog! More updates later! Happy end of September!!
