  • WESTERN 4 CAROLINIAN August 30,2000 Searching for Soul and Cereal in Cullowhee /C wi by Johnnie Mickel Sraff Writer As I stood in my living room last Saturday, amid the mess of moving, I couldn't help but wonder how everything that represents who I am could fit so neatly into a few beat up cardboard boxes. It takes something like leaving home to remind you of how far you've come, where you're going, and where you are. It's funny how quickly things change from the familiar to almost the unrecognizable. For example, my small town lost a historic mill that had been standing for over a hundred years and traded it in for a taco stand. Friends move away, strangers move in, buildings are torn down and replaced with taco stands. So what's this depressing imagery all about? Simple: For the next nine months we're going to be stuck in this valley, and yet each year we complain about something. But for some reason we always return. Why is that? It can't be for the nightlife. It isn't for the food, and it can't be for the warmth of the home fires. It could be the need for communication with our peers; to learn and grow together. Where better to take our first steps into adulthood than a small college nestled in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina? We are introduced into the social world essentially at birth; we then than to walk out? The view looking benefit. You're possessing privileges in is much different than the view you'll never have again, and what looking out; it puts the college expe- power you have in front of you. Never rience into perspective to the rest of forget that there is a world outside of the world. y°ur window. It's vast, at times dark I'm not suggesting that we all run and if you're not prepared, itbecomes' down to the admissions office, can- frightening pretty quickly. ere better to take our first steps into adulthood than a small college nestled in the beautiful v mountains of western North Carolina? pass through milestones like the first day of high school, the first date, and the first breakup. However, college is essentially the time in our lives when we are the most connected to the social network. We have our friends here, friends from high school scattered across the country, and Internet buddies across the ocean. I' m envious of my friends who take a semester or two off, spending time in an Italian villa overlooking the Mediterranean, or even taking bartending classes. What better way to understand our University's worth eel all of our classes and head for the Asheville airport. I "\ don't want to dishearten those of you who have just arrived on campus. That isn't my intent. I obviously came back to Western for more reasons than I care to talk S about. Besides the fact that I don't have a friend with an Italian villa, I came back for my friends, the beautiful scenery, the constant intellectual stimulation, and yes even for Sylva. My life was missing something when I didn't have to do battle with old ladies in Wal-mart for the last box of Captain Crunch. My point is that, while you're here, look at it as a chance to live, to gather your thoughts, reflect on who you arc. to shed your skin and reveal who you are underneath the mask society wants you to wear. Look at being a college student as a Part of university life is understand ing the community, becoming an integral part of it (all year round-not just when its warm or your classes have been canceled). So those of you who have just ar rived, and those of you who are re turning, humor an old sap. TheUC has more in ii than Chick-fil-a;goup the steps and walk out onto the porch. at night preferably.

You're not at school justto go to class, eat, and sleep. You're here to introduce yourself to the world, to give something back for what it's already given to you.
