School is starting to really pick up, and I am feeling loaded with homework , tests, and projects. I think it's time for a little fun. With fall classes picking up, residence hall tours are now in full force. The residence hall tours have always been one of my favorite things on campus. I vividly remember the excitement and lasting effect of my first tour-- and since have enjoyed being involved with the tour program.
