The Weekend

For my first weekend in Auburn, I went with the BCM (Baptist Campus Ministries) to Chewacla State Park (pronounced just like it looks), which is about 10 minutes from campus. There was ultimate frisbee, a cookout, and hiking to the falls, which made me feel rather adventurous and nature-y. The falls are gorgeous, if you ever have the chance to go.

Sunday night, the BCM hosted a campus-wide Scavenger Hunt, during which we posed with Cam Newton, asked the Foy Info Desk how many Oreos it would take to fill Jordan-Hare Stadium (6.4 million), pretended to step on The Seal (read the story here), and photographed other Auburn traditions.

Going all over campus reminded me of why I chose Auburn in the first place- because it feels like home. Even though I was surrounded by almost strangers and got turned around several times, this place feels right. 

There really is something special about Auburn, and I hope you come one day to feel it too.
